Zheng Yi's Diary Entry:
I started out my morning at the Tavern, as usual. I was enjoying a hearty breakfast with a little bit of a cold one to kick-start my day a little. I was sitting in a little corner when, all of a sudden, King Shoom burst into the Tavern seeking help. He looked frantic, filled with urgency. I went over to him and tried to calm him down and see if I could communicate with him. Luckily, I picked up a little bit of how WiiWii spoke with him the last time, and I tried meeping away. It was broken froglet language, but we managed to get the gist of it. He needed help with feeding his baby tadpoles!
He showed us a piece of paper that had his cute little child-like drawing of a grove with several rabbits drawn on it. Soon, I could feel the piece of paper tugging towards the East like how the other piece of paper did before. I tried to gather as many people as possible to go on this quest together because King Shoom said he needed 8 of those rabbits. Several people instantly showed interest, while others were a bit more shy to speak up about wanting to join. However, I managed to find as many people as possible, including Chromii, Zamrud, Ronia, Taldrin, Seelia and Yulrac.
As we arrived at the grove, everything seemed fine and dandy. Lusio suddenly strolled into the grove and decided to join us in this hunt. There were many beautiful, colourful trees all around, while the open areas had the rabbits roaming about. There was an owlbear as well, which made us a bit more wary. We broke off into 2 groups upon drawing lots to decide which group we were meant to go to.
My group went over to the left where the Owlbear was playing with a few rabbits. We attacked one of the rabbits and the Owlbear became angry, calling upon reinforcements with a loud shriek. Several awakened trees, giant constrictor snakes and another owlbear appeared, surrounding us.
The battle was extremely tough, and I kept missing my shots. Damn that morning beer. Luckily, though, I finally got to land some good hits later in the battle. We managed to topple the giant monsters and continued trying to catch the rabbits.
As I went further up north, I noticed a chest near the edge of the forest. Nobody else had noticed, so I quietly opened it and kept the loot. As everyone gathered the rabbits with King Shoom in the middle, I went over to the right side of the plain where I noticed a bunch of mushrooms. I thought of harvesting them to give more to Nyxara, but I quickly noticed another chest! Again, I quietly slid towards the chest, unbeknownst to the others of my discovery, and picked the lock. Inside, I found more gold pieces.
Soon, though, the group needed help carrying our spoils of war. With all my strength and might, I picked up the giant owlbear over my shoulder and carried it to the Breeding Grounds. King Shoom proudly showed off all his children to us before hurriedly shooing us off again. He then gave us our reward for helping him, which was gold pieces and a magic item. Through drawing lots, the item went over to Taldrin. In my opinion, Taldrin definitely deserved the item, as he took a lot of damage but still fought through.
While still lugging the dead owlbear on my shoulder, we made our way back to the tavern where I started harvesting the owlbear. I can foresee the amount of gold I'm going to earn from selling parts of this owlbear.
