Return of the Mutant Beasts

Requesting Help

---

 

Quentin Le'Cheff

(Halfling, Male Lawmaster)

---

The Lawmaster knows the full extent of the dangers. His priority is protecting trade and ensuring cleanup. He is fine with saving the creatures if the job is done, but only after the cleanup.

Offer: 100gp each, negotiable up to 200gp (Insight DC 18)

Lilea Dawn

(Human, Female Spy)

---

The rebel Survivors see the animals as part of the community. Lilea aims to restore them with the help of a druid from the Emerald Wood. She needs adventurers to capture and restrain the mutated creatures. Provides rope, hunting traps, and nets.

Offer: Each pet saved = level 1 or 2 spell scroll, up to 5 scrolls.

Don Rubgandy

(Halfling, Male Conessiour)

---

“Daxter’s a good boy. He wouldn’t hurt a fly. He’s just confused.”   Don is a bitter widow whose only companion is an old elk named Daxter, now affected by the spill. He is solely focused on saving Daxter, indifferent to the fate of the other animals.

Offer: Elemental Gem - Blue Sapphire or Bag of Beans

The Spill

---

The battle takes place in 4 waves. During the fight, 6x Civil Legion soldiers work on cleaning the spill. They need 1 minute to complete their task. For each soldier lost, the cleanup takes 2 extra rounds. Soldiers have 15 AC and 10 hp.

Save or Kill: The characters can choose to save the mutated pets or eliminate them. Saving pets weakens the Chimera in Wave 4, while killing them speeds up the cleanup.

Read Aloud.
