You guys aren't trying to frame Mr. Wiffles, are you?!?
Okay, everything bad that's happened so far is at least partially his fault I guess.
Turn 5 - Welcome to the FoldAzatek struggles to articulate himself while Odysseus holds him against the wall.
(...) "Uh... dog, Mr. Wiffles caused cart to run down road... I tried to stop it, but nearly died... I think... my... companions stopped... it further down... the road... please don't... kill me..."
"Who the hell is Mr. Wiffles?!"
"The doggy... THE DOGGY"
"You're not in your right mind." Odysseus tosses Azatek to the ground. "Clearly it was not you who stole the wagon."
Odysseus runs off with the others.
(...) Suddenly, Derek rolls out of a nearby alleyway and tosses a vial of blood at Ravaatra's head!
(ATT) (DEF) Ravaatra catches the vial and, completely out of reflex, flings a bolt of flame back at Derek!
(ATT) (DEF) Luckily this seems to be an off night for her, and Derek narrowly avoids being toasted.
"It's... fresh." Derek stumbles over his words, flustered by his near-immolation. He turns around to talk to Odysseus, but he appears to be occupied with Azatek.
"Hmph. Good job, assistant. You have proven yourself worthy of your position... for now." She runs off after the other adventurers.
[+2 MP (RAV)](...) Raul, meanwhile, hastily tosses anything he can find back into the wagon. Before he can make much progress, he sees the adventurers running down the street toward him and hides in the alleyway by the building! Mr. Wiffles gets off the innkeeper and runs off to do something or other, and the innkeeper sits up and looks around. After a moment he spots the adventurers, stands up and begins waving his arms! He clearly intends to rat out Raul.
Back at the inn, Mr. Wiffles slinks in through the window and gallops across the room toward the tasty stew.
(...) Bryan leaps out of the darkness wielding a spoon and cracks the instrument over the Dongrel's head, stunning it! Mr. Wiffles yelps and hops back out the window, defeated.
Caddio heads off down the main street, in search of the alchemical outlet he's heard so much about. He finds it almost immediately, exactly where the shopkeep said it would be! He heads inside and steps up to the counter. It's a densely packed store, covered with various assorted ingredients and reagents and cluttered with racks of potionmaking cookbooks and newsletters. A rather frightening looking old man rises from behind the counter and smiles at Caddio.
"Hello there! What can I get for you?"
"Oh! Uh, I was wondering if you... had any hippogryph paws."
"We sure do! Just 37 shekels each."
"
Dammit... Any chance you could mark that down?"
"Nope, these things are in high demand. Pretty powerful reagent. Recently discovered type of healing potion uses it. Sorry, that's the- Caddio?" The shopkeeper's eyes light up.
(...) "Uh... yes? How do you know my name?"
"I heard about you from the network. You're our new arrival, yes?"
"What... are you talking about?"
"The newest arrival to the Avindell necromancer's society! Randall over at the general store mentioned you, said you were performing enforcer duty with one of his customers. You're him right?" The shopkeep narrows his eyes suspiciously.
"I... er, yes! Of course! I'm the new enforcer!"
"Splendid! Welcome to the fold! Randall said you didn't show him the sign." The shopkeep makes a
curious sign with his hand. "You need to be careful, we must always show the sign when communicating with each other."
"Uh... right. So, about that hippogryph paw..."
"Oh, yes! Here, take one! It's on the house." The shopkeep hands Caddio a hippogryph paw. "Metting tomorrow at noon, by the way."

Dagger[HP:5/10]
Description: A large reptilian creature with sharp claws, native to humid swamp environments. This one was formerly owned by the barkeep of the tavern in the town of Zabrek, who may or may not have been joking about using its urine as an additive in his on-tap grog. It was tamed by Coratra Gladomain after escaping and causing havoc in Zabrek, and as a result has become permanently docile and friendly, unable to bring itself to attack a living being.
