03. It's a Lion not a 'Cat'

by Lady Leticia Scarlet-Bloesembhel Voetdhel-Montaneus

I took a job from a Mr. Johannes Schwartz . He is trying to breed spider cats into pets... Which seems like a bad idea. Spiders, well certain spiders, are OK because if you leave them in a box and give them food they'll stay put. Cats like sitting in boxes but they do not stay in boxes. And they knock over stuff. My old cat Mr Flufferbutt spilled an entire bottle of ink on Mama's dress and I got blamed! Can you image a spider-cat!?!?!? It would either steal my stuff, be able to knock whatever I tried to hide from them on the top shelf, AND could scurry away from me when bath time? No thank you.
 
Anyway Johannes referred us to the sewers because his acquaintance Mr. Fig disappeared, most likely by the spider cats. Anyway we got down to the sewers, it was stinky and we didn't find a swarm of cute spider cats. We found a giant spider lion, and then his mate came behind us and tried to eat Peg. I managed to heal them but that was a tough fight! We found a clutch of eggs and broke them but there is possibly a lab down there? Peg and Mr Mirth was pretty hurt. And Peg somehow found the dead body by screaming, running down the dark tunnel, IN THE DARK and found bones! That's weird, right? It feels weird. Anyway there was lots of crying between Peg and Miss Violet, and everyone was having a bad time, and so was I because I can't fight that well, and apparently haven't learned anything my mentor said because the support/back line got nom-ed on by a FREAKING SPIDER LION THAT I DIDN'T SEE.
 
Why? WHY?!
 
Uh... I wish they didn't leave me here by myself. I know they tried training me and took me all over the world to study animals and taught me about stars and attempted to explain the political intrigue going on at home and why I need to stay away and not help my idiotic brother escape so he won't also be killed by our uncles. I realize I was lucky when my mentor found my burnt corpse and reincarnated me a new body... but I was found last minute and I realize that's very lucky and I might not have been able to come back... and he might not have my luck.
 
Back to the job, I think I found Mr. Fig and returned him to Herr Schwartz. He is gonna bring him to the Church of Nicodemus.
 
We got paid but didn't find the lab or nest where the spidercats were breeding. I hope there's no more down there. Those big cats were really hard to fight! Anyway my team mates are the best and I fell really back I couldn't do more. I hope I become a strong druid one day so I can just EAT my enemies.
