Just Another Bug On The Wall - Crystal - Game #4

Myrlene sent me out together with another Wanderer named Kura Silverglint to clear out a mountain road in Krazax that had been infested by poisonous insects, this infestation bothered the nearby village of Stonewood which could no longer get access to the mountain because of it. On the way there we met Kyrin, a member of the mages guild who wielded powerful weaponry but only really wanted to paperwork, and Nyx, a somewhat weird Tabaxi but she seemed like an alright lass, who were to aid us in our work.
 
We arrived at Stonewood about 1 hour before noon to meet with our contractor, the bartender Shia, to get additional details about our job. We didn’t get much info of use except for what we already suspected, that they’re poisonous insects, we did however learn that the insect we’re hunting in particular likes to charge its opponents and spew acid.
She also gave us cloaks that helped us stay camouflaged in the nearby area, it was nice to be able to sneaky for once without the chain mail getting in the way too much.
On our way out a merchant, named Annabelle, who was counting out coin in the corner of the bar caught our eye, we browsed her wares and decided that buying some antitoxin would be beneficial to our endeavour.
 
We headed out on the northern road and found an abandoned wagon containing jars of honey, its contents was currently being devoured by a swarm of Dusk Crescents, a type of beetle.
We decided they were a danger to the road and dispatched them with ease.
We salvaged what we could of the honey and pressed on.
 
Further up the road we encountered a pack of Striped Horrors, a strain of raptors that hunt in packs but not as efficient as most other strains. But in exchange of their lessened teamwork they instead have a stunning poison.
They seemed to have trouble biting us for some reason, maybe they were feeling unwell? At any case we managed to dispatch them with ease and I even got some practise with my new magical powers. We managed to salvage some of their meat which would probably make for a nice ingredient.
 
We finally arrived at the start of the mountain path and it was here that we discovered what we were looking for. A “Spear Horn Beetle“ and a smaller swarm of Dusk Crescents. We swiftly dispatched of the Dusk Crescents before they became a nuisance and then focused our efforts on the Spear Horn Beetle. It charged at us and it even got me with its acid but in the end we defeated it with relative ease. Kyrin took a bad hit but struck it back with all his might dealing a devastating blow to the beetle. Kura got charged but endured the hit before standing back up and stabbing it right trough the head, slaying the monstrosity. We salvaged what we could from the beast and moved on back to Stonewood to claim our reward.

I bought 5 vials and a shovel from Annabelle.
I Salvaged 2 Crafting Tokens.
I Salvaged 1 Tier 1 Food Ingredient.
