"Awww. We're sorry to hear that. Haven't you been able to fix it back up? Do you mind if we fix it instead on behalf of Kupyn? And sure enough, what she did is not good, we will tell her that her being old does not give her a pass to knock other's things because she is angry." Sif tells her consolingly.

Sif takes a look at their broken castle and inspects it to know what needs to be repaired. She then begins working on it with the materials that can be salvaged from the broken castle and some resources that can be used to strengthen it. "How about that?" she asks after sweating herself out repairing the castle.
After watching Sif, take look at that rubble that was Brownies Castle. The witch is about to feel how the structure was built and laid out. Sif, takes the first log, and begins to place in the north corner, then the south, the west, and then the east. Building on that foundation, the rest is easy. After an hour and half. The task is complete, Nelia is cheered up and bows most gracefully to the group, she then claps her hands. Five brownies bring the scallions, to the group and then she says We are pleased, here are the scallions that are needed. We will be in attendance for Winter’s Week. Thank you once again. She bows and then returns to her court.
The party then proceeds to get the potatoes, traveling to the next direction.
A small mining compound sits just at the foot of the Hollow Hills. Several dwarves sit outside eating lunch. Hanging above the entrance is the sign “Steim Mine: Our Roots Run Deep.”
At the head of the table sits a venerable dwarf with a flowing white beard spilling over his mining leathers. ”Hello there. Here for ore or potatoes? If it’s the former, you’re in luck. If it’s the latter, there might be a problem.”

Still hanging on to the fluffy Darb for confidence, Bitty starts getting excited. "Egg, I think I'm getting the hang of this adventuring thing! I have an adventuring party! And I've talked to farmers and fairies! Me!"
She waves farewell to the Brownies, and then curtsies to the dwarves. "P-please? We don't want to disappoint everyone coming for the Winterweek celebration." Then she pauses a moment to listen to Egg. "Egg says you have the nicest beards Egg has ever seen."

Sif smiles at the brownies and their queen, seeing them happy with the newly-repaired castle, and they have acquired the scallions they needed. She bids them goodbye before continuing their search for the other ingredients. She walks next to Darb this time, though cautious the pup might snack on her owl familiar perching on her shoulder. She even secretly listens to what she is saying behind her whispers. She is actually curious about who is the Egg she is talking about. She hasn't been listening anyway to her talk, or it just slipped her mind if ever the sylph gnome mentioned it. "So who is Egg?" she asks away because she might not sleep on it if she does not learn who Egg is.

"Oh..." Sif is somewhat surprised to see a dinosaur egg. She wonders where Bitty got it but she does not ask. And where on Earth Golarion could she possibly steal it?! her mind is asking, but realizing what she is thinking she hopes that she does not look like she is doubting Bitty has gotten it legally somewhere. "How did you meet?" She just blurts out after Egg is shown to her, hesistant to even touch it.
She is too carried over by their egg conversation that she almost forgets that they have potatoes to get for Kupyn. "Oh, yes, sorry about that." she tells the dwarf. "Kupyn asked us to get some potatoes from you, she will be adding it as one of the ingredients of the rock stew she will be making for the Winter Week."
Jaget Steim, the dwarf family patriarch, a elderly dwarf leaning on a stick. “ Well had promised, the potatoes, Kupyn. She was supposed to bring me a tincture, to help my joints See that she sent you. By any chance do you have the, tincture or do any of you know how to heal?”
He looks at each of you with a smile.

"I found Egg in the Kaava lands in the Mwangi Expanse. The gripplis there raise dinosaurs for defense. It was love at first sight!"
Bitty leaves unclear whether she stole Egg from the aforementioned gripplis, or asked for it outright.
Bitty also comes out and looks over the old dwarf's joints.
"When Grandma Beryl gets joint pain, I massage the joints like this." Bitty says, massaging the sore joint.
The small song of Soothe, that Summer hums, while waving their hand in intricate manner. Begins to take form over Jaget, the soft silver light, brings a warmth both mentally and physically to the old dwarf. After, few seconds the group of Pathfinders see the old dwarf smile. By Torag, that feels so much better. Jaget says he stretches out his knees. Thasper, run done to the store room and get the potatoes and the flasks.. A young redhead dwarf runs down the small hallway, after a minute or two, young Thasper returns and hands the bag of potatoes to Summer. I have something else for you as well. Jaget says. Thasper hands over a four flasks, to Bitty. These flake contain, special properties, use them wisely.
The group is ready to return to Kupyn house, any conversations along the way? .

Augustus seems to be in wonder before Sumner's spell and its effect.
"Surely, that was... the perfect spell! Well done, my dear."
Turning towards the dwarf, he bows.
"Thank you very much, master Jaget!"
Like Bitty, he turns his attention towards the flasks.
"Any idea on what they contain? Healing magic, perhaps?" he says to the young gnome with a crooked smile.

Sif waits for Bitty to tell how she obtained Egg from the gripplis but there is no answer about it. She doesn't dare to ask anyway, thinking the gnome might be offended. "Well, that is good for the both of you." she tells her.
After they have obtained the potatoes and given flasks with contents with some sort of something with special properties, she asks if she can take a look at it. "Let me see."
Sif learns that these flasks, as she opens one smells of strong acid. She then puts too back in the flask she holds. As the group make their way to Kupyn’s cottage, they hear a yelp from inside. Kupyn’s cottage is brightly colored, with a thatched roof and tall chimney merrily puffing smoke into the brisk air. Yet as you get close, the house begins to rumble and quake.
The front door spills opens. Numerous tiny cobblestones pour out—no ordinary rocks. They all have open mouths with gleaming sharp teeth.
Sif looks at the what appears to be swarm, of stones flying in small cyclone. She seems to know that they are related to the some sort of summoning gone wrong. The stone swarms are aggressive.
for Cobble Swarm Monster
Bitty digs in satchel and pulls out the rock solvent & then throws the rock solvent at the Cobblestone Swarm, causing one side to melt, as the acid burns into it. Bitty notices the solvent did more damage than expected. She then, pulls her rapier, desiring to protect Egg.
Sif concentrates and while pulling their weapon. The Cobblestone Swarm seems to be magical as well the Cauldron.
Professor Augustus takes the better part of valor and recalls from his minds the Shield spell, then steps behind Summer. The Professor ever so curious knows that these creatures are aberrations.
Summer pulls theirs shield & sword as they sing hymn about the Last Walk Knights. Everyone begins to feel inspired.
The Swarm moves to where Summer is and the Rocks begins to pound both Summer and the Power Professor.
Summer and the good Professor get hit with bunch cobbles stones (7). Bitty can feel it’s time to act.
The Professor over course years has not read anything about these type of creatures.
The Cobblestone is not looking well as the both rock solvents hit the swarm. Whips of acid, fill the air as the battle continues.
Sif will move up to the swarm One Action, they swing with their staff with both hands at it. One Action the staff contexts with swarm. a piece of the swarm falls away. She swings again, One Action hitting the swarm again, the creature shatters and the cobble stones fall to the ground. Kupyn points to the cauldron, I think it’s about to make more !
Bitty working hard, manages to skim the cobblestones. Kuypn works her magic as well, the cauldron, settles down for moment. Bitty has figured out what is going on and will need help in similar actions (2).
