Take cover far enough away from the mouth of the cave that the beast can't just grab me as soon as it rushes out and wait to see if someone lures out the beast. Corpse pile, big enough pile of rocks, whatever works as long as it isn't also dangerous to me. If nobody else has the courage to lure it out, try to toss a rock into the cave from cover to see if the beast emerges to investigate it. If the beast emerges from its cave, blast it with a Slow spell in the area that would cover its brain, or the first few vertebrai in its neck if that would be significantly easier, to slow down things passing through it like neural impulses or blood, or just the neural impulses if that would be significantly easier.

Bang attempts to quietly climb round to the top of the hill, but as he moves he accidently knocks loose some rocks. They tumble down the hill and land directly next to the cave entrance. For a moment everyone is quiet, holding their breath in fear. Just when they're about to sigh in relief, beliving themselves to be safe, the creature bursts out from the cave. It moves almost silently, which is rather frightening considering it is nine feet tall, and covered in dense muscle. It looks something like an oversized gorilla, but with the head of a predatory bird and shining black plumage instead of fur. It catches the roof of its burrow as it explodes out into the sunlight and does a sharp flip, landing on the hill, no more than a few feet from Bang. [5v7][6v4] Bang drops down into a combat stance but the creature just grabs him by the head and tosses him down onto the corpses and bones below. He lands flat on his back, wind knocked from his lungs and a dozen shards of sharp bone embedded in his back.

Aurum, still hiding in the bushes, takes the opprotunity to try and cripple the beast by slowing its nervous system. [9v5][5v3] He points at the beast and it seems to stiffen up and then begin acting strangely, almost as though it was drunk. It staggers and reacts slowly to everything.

Edric takes a shot at the beast with his bow. [9v2][7vs4] His arrow catches the beast right in the eye and sends it reeling back, screeching out a harsh eagle like cry.

Jian ignores both the pain and the blood loss from his gored arm and starts digging holes in the animal paths with his sword.  He gets a good 2 dozen dug before he starts to feel kind of dizzy.

Prism realizes several things thanks to his great wealth of knowledge. First, rats don't seem to live around here in the wild, so trying to catch one would be pointless. Second, he has no containers so even if he caught a pregnant thing He'd have nowhere to put it. He's also not entirely sure HOW to make sure he catches only a pregnant...whatever he can get.  Also, his ghost compass still picks up nothing. Guess that just in the middle of some field isn't a good place to find magical beings.

Edit: Also hand Zackerine (Egan) 75 gold when she comes mooching.

Zruril turns to his two partners, and says "I trust that you both can handle yourselves, and collect Zamia?  You should be ready to leave with these men, while I stay behind.  Zoh, I leave you to choose whether or not you're ready to participate in the hunt.  There is no shame in refusing, men with twice your experience would shy from such danger."  With that said, he turns back to the hunters and simply smiles before walking away, straight towards the barman.

Zrell: The paths lead to the east, out onto the savannah plains beyond this forested section around the river. They don't lead anywhere beyond that.

Zackarine walks over to Zruril and punches him in the arm before asking for 75 gold coins.

Zamina: The grand gator is basically a mix between gorrila and alligator. They will live in trees or the river quite happily. They are also absurdly strong, resiliant and able to bite or beat a man to death with ease. [1v5] It is perhaps for the best that, both due to the time between when you first saw it and now, as well as the fact that it left by river, you cannot find its tracks or even guess where it went.

Zoh asks about the lay of the land where the tree shadow hides. They reply that the river is not very deep but the current is fast and strong. The forest is as thick as it is here, ie pretty darn thick, and the ground is loose and sandy near the river but thicker and more resiliant clay once you get a bit away from it.

Zach just follows along.

Zruril asks the barman about the Tree Shadow. He says that the tree shadow is probably a big grand Gator or Raven-head or maybe a Boneless that emerged from a cave somewhere. But the locals think that its a Predator Saint, some mythical creature drawn in by the activities of the hunters.

Maw walks to the waterside, close to the west entrance of the cave so that light will be somewhat plentiful. "Look down at the water. Can you see the top of the cave? Perhaps, yourself, too? Not sure if spirits can be seen through reflections, but I guess I'll know now. Anyway, look at all the old things around us- the cave system, the river, perhaps even you; I don't think you ever said your age. Anyway, if you look in the river, there is one notable new thing...my reflection. It wasn't here before we arrived, but the river's been here for who knows how long.

Brine: You don't think your rope is long enough to climb down the entire cliff face. Not to mention there's no real place to stand down there. Look at the map. You see the big pits around the area your base is in? They are sort of funnel like, with steep sloping walls that end in a straight down shaft into the earth. There's no real place to stand, at least not safely. But I'll tell you this much since you'd probably know it in character. Matrass, a town a bit east of here, has a premade system to get down into the caves below here.

Ma'o: Your spirit seems pleased with your display and you feel 5 mana flow into your body.

You can walk along the top of this canyon; which is shown as the brightest gray lines  on the map, but actually getting down to the lake will require climbing. Either with a rope or without; its dangerous either way.

And Nina tries to be on her best behavior with them to keep their relations good. Nina herself works as a healer, living out in the poor part of town, and has an erratic schedule based on the needs of those who want her help. so she has a lot of free time, but also gets woken up in the middle of the night a lot. add in Adam's occasional antics and she doesn't get to have a stable sleep schedule.

Cabal: None at this time.

"DEEP!" It gurgles, flesh morphing, "Beneath the water. In the sickness! YES! Care. Care."

Meso is right before the river splits into a delta and then expands to form lake Limus.  The lake itself is more of a swamp than anything; a vast muddy, sickened lake filled with huge mangrove trees and all manner of parasite and predator. It is unsually deep, and immediately so, more of a flooded crater than a lake. According to locals its the cite of an old city that was destroyed sometime in the past and then sunk beneath the water. The two huge statues on its banks provide good evidence for this, and Phagenda, a city floating on its waters often as odd relics to sell.

Do you want to go there by boat, or walk? Boat would let you reach Phaganeda, but buying or renting one would cost you.

one says he'll do it if you can show it to him. He says that he has wanted to try and sift iron like he finds gold, but that lodestones are difficult to get hold of.

Moghorn explains to the gold-panner that he needs a little gold dust to work with. He also haggles about the price (gold or goods), but is fairly flexible if necessary.

If he is given the gold dust, he carefully mixes it with water and casts Lodestone on a bit of steel if there is one nearby. If there is no other hard magnetic material nearby, he attempts to create a small Lodestone.

He also tries to determine if: a) Living Brass could be had in the town
                                       b) There is a graveyard
                                       c) He could get hold of red candle wax from anywhere nearby.

"Well that isn't good. Do you know where in the lake it is? I mean, I could spend years just randomly dredging the lakefloor and still not find it. And if I'm going to go into the middle of the sickness, do you have any suggestions on how to keep it from making me sick too?"

I had thought the lake was a lake, rather than a swamp. and wait, it's super-deep yet has trees growing in it? how does that even work? I mean, generally one excludes the other. well, whatever. anyways, I can't afford to be renting boats, so I'll probably just be walking to the water's edge. Considering that this might take a while though, I think I'll detour back to my home to put up a sign for people to look for me by the lake. That way I don't miss buisness while I'm doing this. I'll also be checking my door for any messages left for me while I was out.

Since they don't have a proper magehunter available, having a local civilian channeler they can bring in as needed is a big help.

Take a moment and use my clothing to bind the wound, staunching bleeding long enough for phase two of my plan!

With the bleeding staunched find some trihorns nearby and start driving them towards the pits, throws rocks to startle and maintain a fair distance from my targets. If any brea limbs I shall slay them, clearly not stopping my bleeding was a tactical move. I clearly did not forget I was bleeding.

Huh, for some reason I thought this all was a cave system. Anyway, I thank my spirit for the mana, and head for the nearest village. Figure out how I could obtain a shovel. I'll try and dig down to the spirit I saw earlier. If won't go well, I ought to find a cave system on the surface, as well as a lantern.

Also, how much mana would I need to use mercury to enchant my mace to poison those it hits? Relatively quickly, I may add, since mercury poisoning is rather slow?

Lastly, I've found some possible uses for the Mercury component. Alchemists (of the old real world) thought they could use it to turn metals to gold, or to create metals in general. There's also its believed health benefits / component to immortality, but those are only BELIEVED, so they may not work. Would they work, Piecewise?

As I said before, give Zackerine her 75 gold.  Then continue to talk to the barman--ask him about the Predator Saint, and order a drink too.

Also, can I roll knowledge to see if I can remember what sort of creatures "raven-heads" and "boneless" are?

"Heh, 'Predator Saint'?  Now, that sounds like a fascinating story to be told, even if it is indeed mere myth.  Care to tell, and perhaps bring me some refreshment as well?"
