[Completed] Triple Bounty

[Fellow Rabbit]

The night was young. Many older folk were heading off to bed and some younger folk were merely just waking up. But the likes of Maeve, Vladimir, Golas, and Wolfrin were still much awake. Tranquility spread like wildfire throughout the guildhall until a shrill cry emanated from the sleeping area. Quickly, the four made way to the room the cry came from. When they got there, their worst fears had been confirmed. A minor character - Vienna - had seen a spider on her wall. She cried for them to kill it, and after the most epic battle the guild had ever seen, Maeve flew across the room and splattered its guts all over the wall. But what they saw was spooky: the spider's guts had a faint blue glow to them which faded over a few seconds until they looked like normal spider guts.

The next day, the four found a poster on the guild's bulletin board written in some kind of bluish glowy ink. It was for a missing wanted person. Interested in learning more about the glowy blue stuff, they took the mission on.

Together, the four traveled outward to a town called Barg a day's journey in some direction from Ternadan. On their way, however, they came across quite an interesting fellow. He seemed to think the fire was listening in on them and tried to get them to huddle closer to him. He read everything he said from a book he held and seemed only to whisper to them no matter what. He told them that the man they were taking the job for stole their wanted person, explaining to them that they had captured this bounty as the final bit of experience they need to reach the next tier in the collective union of bounty hunters. He told them to go on and pretend to help the man, but to report back to him afterward in a cottage at the edge of town.

So the four kept on, eventually reaching the strange town of Barg. The man they were looking for was quite easy to find, being the only person in town with a giant sign over his shop. They quickly identified him as Drak and went in to talk to him. He was long-winded, but ultimately what they took from the conversation was that Drak believed his bounty was stolen from him by the group represented by the man with a book they spoke to earlier. They inspected the shack he kept the bounty in. The lock was smash open and mangled on the ground and there was a single footprint outside the shack. Aside from that, there was nothing to go by. With this, the group bid Drak adieu. They asked around town to try and gather information about Drak, but everyone seemed to have contradictory stories about him and literally anything they were told was absolutely useless information anyway. Discouraged by this, they left town and headed off back to where bookman told them to meet up.

There, they found that the cottage was in fact the last place his group had kept the bounty. While inspecting this location, the group of four discovered some footprints that the man with a book hadn't noticed before. They led straight out of the cottage and into the woods nearby. Now having a lead, they instantly followed the footprints, taking a long trek into the forest before coming across a camp. Sitting on a log in front of a campfire was a really fat guy with a big hook. Vladimir snuck around to the tents while Golas made a fool of himself failing his stealth check. The fat guy didn't like being ambushed so much, so they ended up fighting. Vladimir cut open the tents to find nothing of interest inside. One of them was rigged with a bear trap. He and Maeve ultimately decided to disarm it by throwing a rock on top of it. It chomped shut and then exploded, destroying both tents.

Meanwhile, Wolfrin and Golas eventually defeated the fat guy with little trouble. He, too, exploded, dealing much damage to Wolfrin and Buddy. The explosions, it turned out, woke up fat guy's buddy, who began lobbing bombs at him. After finding his hiding spot, they started shooting arrows and stuff at him. Wolfrin decided to use a lightning attack, which blew up the mines this guy had placed around his tree, knocking it over. Chaos ensued as they fought him, but ultimately they defeated him without killing him. He told them their captured stolen missing wanted bounty was buried in a box beneath the fireplace. They began digging and found a box about a cubic foot in size. At first they thought the box was booby trapped, but learned that it wasn't and opened it up. Inside, it turned out, there was a portable hole, inside of which was their wanted man. They threw the bomb man inside and started back to the quest stuff.

They first went back to Drak's place, learning after a short exchange that Drak had actually set the bounty free near the other bounty hunters, knowing they'd catch him, so he could blame them for thievery. It didn't work out, but the four decided to give him the bounty anyway since that was why they took the mission... until they learned he didn't have the money to pay them. With that, they took their rewards and headed off to the other bounty group to drop off the bounty.

The group's reward was the 200 gold reward from the bounty plus 300 gold for each of them, for a total of 1400 gold. Additionally, the Galas'norians were able to find that the two they had saved the bounty from were also wanted and known as Roadhog and Junkrat. They were together worth another 550 gold.
