21th of Hammer, 1512 DR
While sitting around the fire and discussing about the mammoth, Madu points out that the wolves probably used those children as bait to have someone take out the mammoth. I think that is a very good point! I also was thinking, since I can't get the full benefit of the booties I got from the lady, so I gave the Boots of the Winterlands to Dyleth so that he could better protect himself from the cold.
After a bit of resting, I decided that since we had so much time to spare that I would go to town to see if there were any fisherman who knew about the fishy that stole Papa's ring. Luna decided to tag along with me to repair the docks too! We made it to the docks of Dougan's Hole, and I found a fisherman named Simon who after talking to revealed that there are tons of Knucklehead Trout, but he hasn't heard of the one I was referring to... No problem though! I convinced him to tell a bunch of people about the fishy so that word would spread, and I also made some fliers of the fish and left them around town. Then we headed back to camp to wait for the Kaltro guy.
After some time at the camp, suddenly it gets really colda wind blows out our fire, and Dyleth is pulled away from behind! Then, as I turn around, I see that Sephek the salesman was standing behind me with a dagger to Dyleth's throat! It hit me, Sephek is the Kaltro guy! His full name apparently is Sephek Kaltro... With a wave of his hand, my Cloak of Protection turned to water and so did the blades that Dyleth bought from him!
I looked back to Electra and Luna for confirmation before smashing in this loser's head, and Electra told me telepathically that Sephek wanted to take Madu and would killed Dyleth if we didn't comply. So, I summoned Cinder to help him escape and cast Soot's Fire Arms before warning him to back off! But, Sephek released Dyelth, and as he ran away, Sephek cut into him with blades made of ice!
As the party ran into action, Dyleth cut Sephek with his psi-blades, but Sephek called upon the cold to heal himself! So, I dragged my ash and soot covered hands over my face as warpaint, and let out a roar of anger. I screamed that Sephek scammed the wrong ursan, and threatened to wear his ears on my chieftain necklace. I rushed him, and bashed his head with my flaming hammer, letting out another roar on impact.
Sephek tried to heal himself again as Dyleth ran away, but the cold air could not heal him of my burns! He then disappeared in a cloud of snow and appeared again by Dyleth! He cut down Dyleth in a quick swipe, and Luna called upon her cosmic form to heal Dyleth. Madu rushed over to grab Sephek and I dashed towards him to whack him with my hammer again. As I dashed towards him, I called out the command word of my hammer, "Calour", to activate its fire and double the heat of my hammer!
As I reach him, I smash him over the head, burning him and preventing him from healing again. But, he teleports away again... It seems that it will be a long fight...
