Session 4 - Into the Wilds: The Hunt begins!

We wake up after yesterdays hunt and I start grilling some rat meat for breakfast. Kido eats one too. (Plus points)
We then go into town to send a package to Paps. At the post office we meet an older short woman with brown/purple hued skin, white eyes wearing a purple robe and hair in a neat bun. Her name is Kilez and she is a clerk here at the Malo Baridon.
I pay for the delivery and material and send a package to Paps in Caz'Kar'th containing a letter, the giant rat skull and the gloves I made from the rat pelt. I hope he will write me back somehow.
 
While I prepare the package, the rest of the group talk to Kilez and accept a delivery to be made to Chiaf to the southeast, which is where we were going anyway. We receive 10 gold up front and another 10 upon delivery.
We also had a letter addressed to us, from Soff, the Eidefir by the docks. It details the monsters they would like us to hunt.
 
1. A Mark of the Depths from a Deep Scion.
2. large Bag of Couatl Feathers from a Couatl
3. Filament from a Cave Fisher
 
I look up the monsters in my book, and find some limited information on the Deep Scion and Cave Fisher, but for the Couatl I find out they are resistant against divine magic and totally immune to mental damage and nonmagical physical hits. This will prove a challenge unless I find a way to enchant my weapon.
 
With that in mind, we move to the local blacksmith to check if they have anything enchanted that could help with our hunts. The young Dayl girl Miray greets us while her father Jay is working the iron. We chat a bit and say that we are going to hunt monsters, including a Couatl. She asks me if she can get a feather if we kill one, and I say sure. Unfortunately they don't seem to have anything enchanted, so we leave.
 
We go to the Eidefir settlement to talk about the hunts and say goodbye. They have been in talks with the harbormaster, but he wants 50% of their profits, and 50% of all the profits they have had up until now. Totally unreasonable. They are going to stop their business here and move to some relatives in Uyagh. So that is where we would send the materials they want from the hunts. Before we leave, the craftsman gives me a copy of Hamunds Harvesting Handbook!
 
We go to Azras a final time to say goodbye, but she seems distressed and embarrassed. It turns out she had mistakenly bumped into the chest Kido had placed in the spare room, and supposedly a part fell off it. Kido tells her it's all right and that it was an accident. When he inspects the damage, he notices that there is no damage at all, but a hidden compartment that Azra has discovered.
In the compartment is a Healing potion, and a bag.
 
Kido turns the bag inside out, and various items pop out. It seems to be a Bag of Holding!
In the bag:

4 Spell scrolls: Poison Spray, Ray of Frost, Detect Magic, Feather fall

1 Efficient Quiver

1 Emerald Pen

1 Robe of Useful Items

We split up the items. I take the Quiver and the Detect magic scroll, Kido takes the robe and the Feather fall scroll, Cheheri takes the poison spray scroll and Rose takes the emerald pen. We can't use the Ray of Frost scroll so we sell it alongside some other items and then leave Blusheaf behind!
 
We walk along the coast, and I'm keeping an eye out for tracks or signs of a Deep Scion, since they can be found along the coastline.
A while into the walk, we hear a horrible shriek. No doubt a Deep Scion. We start heading in that direction, but get interrupted by two fishermen trying to land a shark. Cheheri efforlessly uses thorn whip to pull the shark up on land. We kill it, and harvest it to take some meat, some shark teeth and a shark hide with us. The fishermen thank us.
 
Now with that distraction out of the way, we continue towards the Deep Scion. I see it scurrying about, and manage to sneak up on it. Cheheri launches a Guding Bolt, and I shoot an arrow imbued with an Ensnaring Strike.
 
After a hard battle where I take quite a bit of damage and fall victim to it's signature shriek, we defeat it. Me and Rose harvest it together, and Rose binds the Mark of the Depths onto her spirit paper. She says that it's interesting that I'm not afraid of monsters despite my age. I tell her it's because of the environment I grew up in, I went on hunts with my family as early as 2 years old. She asks if that means I'm not scared of her? And I ask why I would be scared of her. She is very nice so there is no reason to be scared.
 
While this is going on, Kido and Cheheri are inspecting the Scions lair, and find 250(!) gold.
 
We go up and into the forest to have a short rest. I paint a spectacular picture of the dead scion on the beach (Natural 20 for a 25).
A bit into our rest I notice some animals getting closer and closer as to try and ambush us. I alert the others to be ready for combat, and stand up, try to make myself look big and try to scare them away, but they attack us. Two gorillas!
 
We quickly take care of them, but Rose takes quite a bit of damage in the scuffle. She gets healed up by Cheheri and we sit back down to continue our rest.
I start preparing my hides so I can use them for crafting armor.
