Quest Summary:
Sent to the woods after responding to a cry for heroes from the City Watch, the party surveyed the great forest beyond Avalon that they were told was becoming home to roving monsters and bands of murderers and thieves.
They quickly approached one of the nearby campfires they could see from their initial lookout point, and soon found themselves in pitched mortal combat with a gang of very well equipped and tactically minded murderers. The party defeated them without too much of a problem, but then they heard the fearsome cry of a maddened owlbear, enraged with hunger. It had heard the battle, and was coming to get a piece for itself!
The party nearly lost two of their number, but in the end they were fully victorious, the owbear broken at their feet and a large smooth glowing stone spilled from its entrails. The druid Zamiera pondered at what this ill omen could mean.
