Would rather take 20 lol. Can I?
Zara finds a bit of fur, brown fur.
Hmmm brown fur.... Draken got any rivals?
Int check to recall if I have seen brown fur anywhere useful.
Draken thinks to himself... Intelligence check to think of any rivals, then any that would have brown fur, or someone wearing brown fur.
He will then smell it and taste it and look at it hoping he will know what kind of creature it comes from...

Tarinil carefully looks about, his sharp gnomish eyes seeking anything obviously out of place that Zara might have missed.
Aeron looks at Tsurna sure that he has solved the case, then he realizes Tsurna is white
Tarinhill finds a corner of a window that has a hole in the frame. He is certain that is where the thief entered or left.
Elf Witch! Draken bursts out She wants me to travel with her and I said no! She has a squirrel familiar!
Tarinhil nods, "It wasn't the witch, it was her familiar. You can see it snuck in here -- we'll have to fix it before you put back all your shinies, Draken."
The gnome then turns around and says, "Of course, in the meantime, let's go pay the witch a visit.... I don't think she's expecting quite so many visitors."
Ameiko who has been wandering by on and off speaks.
Careful guys, that witch has ties to the Sczarni around here. Also she has made a little hut just across the sanpoint bridge to the south of town, in the woods.
She sets down the massive sack of flour she was lugging. [b]I remember her, never got her name. She came into the Dragon and tried to buy Draken from me a few weeks ago. When I said he was not mine, he spoke with Draken. He refused and she seemed quite upset. I have not seen her since.
Would you give me a hand with this muscles? She says to Aeron as she looks at the flour.
Let me review my spells real quick and we can go visit.....
Pulls out his book and makes a few notes refreshing his spells in his memory. Then quickly closes it nodding. Okay I'm ready. And Draken I believe at somepoint I am going to have to learn to curse your treasure so thoose who steal from you regret it.
Draken smiles a toothy grin.
I look disappointed as I realised that Tsuma is white, until the mention of a squirrel arises. My mind starts to wander about a squirrel wearing theives clothing when I hear the word muscles, I turn to see Ameiko struggling. I rise and walk on over to her and lift up the bag easily and take it to wherever she wants it. By the time I get back everyone is ready to leave and I follow them to the squirrel.
Tarinhil cocks his head at Ameiko, "I assume from your tone that upsetting the Sczarni would be a bad thing?"
When I get back to the others, "Weren't those thieves Sczarni too?"
Yes the Sczarni are trouble they sometimes caused problems for the Caravans too. Or would pose as a caravan and rob a town blind. I have no love for them but provking them might be something best done carefully.
Draken is flying around. Yes go get shines! Go get shines! Kill Squirrel!
Tarinhil whistles, "We'd best be careful. I don't want to end up getting stabbed in an alley afterward -- or worse, bringing them down on Ameiko. Sadly, it's a small town, and we stick out a bit -- even before our recent notoriety."
I should work up an extract that lets me look like something else... I mean, other than the weird-stretchiness of my mutagen... I wonder if the elf knows any spells like that.... and I wonder if he'd let me look at his spellbook? Hmmmm....
The gnome asks, "Can you disguise us with magic at all, Tiazara? If not, our best bet might be a distraction -- I can try to sneak in the back while the rest of you cause a ruckus up front... though, if she's a witch, I'd appreciate someone checking for spells on the door first, too."
He sighs, "I guess it's too much to hope that she can be talked out of all this with a stern lecture?"
No that's is not within the purview of my magics. I specialize in seeing the truth and the future and thus the doors of lies and mental manipulation are are closed to me. Though not bared as they are to some.....
He looks down somewhat embarrassed by his lack.
Draken lands on Aeron's shoulder and whispers into his ear, tongue tickling once more, "Can I put my treasure in your backpack?"
I look to the small dragon now sitting on my shoulder again, "Yeah, sure. Ya can have one'a the side pockets if ya like?"
Nuts he does not giggle like a school girl.
Draken will be able to guide you to the area where the witch is supposed to be
Fernus follows the rest as he tries to sober up in the clear and crisp night air.
"Sounds like a good start for a fairy tale I must say, 'The Squirrel and the Dragon' "He begins to search for his pen and journal and... thinks it is too much effort for him in this state.
This Template Fernus For the next 3 hours. Well if you are only a little bit drunk you can divide the penalties by half
Well lead the way Draken and let us teach this person better than to steal from a dragon....
Draken leads our heroes on a long winding path through the streets, his tail changing into a stinger and back over and over again.
After a while find themselves on the outskirts of the forest outside town. A small tent is set across the way.
MAP is up, click on the word Runelords to see it.
Oi before anything starts Mage armor before we leave town.
"His treasure hoard seems to have been stolen, stolen by the familiar of a witch that wanted him. The witch apparently resents Draken for not goingwith her."
Fernus wobbles a bit as he walks.
"I'm glad I caught as much as that to be honest."
So now we seek to get his property returned. Unless of course you woukd rather see what mischief he can cause turning the town upside down looking for it...
Perception Check. Pretty sure he hears you...
"I am no dragonling, I am fully grown up, I thought dwarves had more sense, then again perhaps you just are lacking in knowledge. I lost my bed of gold, my gems, and my other shineys." Draken says a bit scathingling, then thinks better of it.
"Sorry Eryda, just very angry and upset at the moment, since you come and help me recover it, just as the others are you all, become closer to being true companions." Draken says with sympathy and hope!

Perception Check.
Once they are near the tent. Draken shouts out, "Aahhh, it is him, he will pay!!!" Draken jumps off of Aeron's shoulder and flies after the skittering brown squirrel.

Heroes go First.
Draken Races forward and attempts to sting the Squireell but it winds up stinging the ground
The Squirrel chitters loudly
Fernus notices the squirrel before Draken bolts and he aims his crossbow right at it. He fires a moment after Draken has bolted after the squirrel.
Then he moves forward, getting close to Aéron. I can't hit a target that small from here, stupid, stupid. I'll have to get up a little closer.
Fernus' bolt slams into the tent wall.
I don't see the squirell until the Dragon shouts and flies forwards so I follow quickly, but not covering as much ground as him.
Zara will to a thirty foot range and hold off on any actions he is waiting for the witch to appear.
When she does snapdragon.
Seeing that I still have a long way left to go to get to the creature I start to briskly walk forwards until I get to it.
