While traveling South East Bjørn found some track that suggested a large battle had taken place. There was a set of humanoid footprints leaving the scene, and the Party decided to follow, being as sneaky and quiet as possible. Alosrin taking the lead.
The party eventually found the tracks to be made by Itoro, a Kishi, who appears as an unnaturally handsome looking Elf, who was carrying a large bloody sack.
Since he seemed to be an elf, Krystoff stopped being sneaky and approached the Kishi with a greeting.
Itoro says he is in fact not an Elf, but can see how he could be confused by one. When questioned about the bloody bag, he claims he has been hunting a bird to eat, and shows the party a large Orange feather as proof, although Andromeda, who was still hiding, knew that was not a bird's feather.
After questioning the Kishi more, it grot tired, and wished to be left alone to eat his prey. Andromeda, shot a Ray of Frist at the creature, who dodged it effortlessly. It seemed surprised to be attacked but did not react hostily, he invited the group to come with him to share his meal. And claimed it was special and would give those who ate it magical powers.
Bjørn approached Itoro and offered him a flagon of mead, which he accepted, claiming finally someone had some good sense.
Andromeda would not have any of it and attacked again. The Kichi finally lost its temper and showed it's true colors. His Hyena face on the back of it's skull, and all his joints bent in the opposite direction.
Krystoff immediately slashed at the bag, which revealed an unconscious Celestial.
Andromeda tried to imprison him in a Water Sphere, but before she could move it onto him, he rushed her and clasped his jaws on her neck.
Everyone rushed to save her, and eventually managed to take the creature down.
Bjørn rushed to stop the bleeding on Andy's neck until Krystoff could heal her.
Once she was healed, the Celestial came out of the bag, and introduced themselves as Chioma, a Choral Angel.
They tell the party that they have been summoned by a Wizard to find some rare herbs in the jungle. Unfortunately they don't have any information on the Cinderclaw Cult or the Dragon Pillars, but they are willing to spend a night scouting the nearby areas to see if they find anything worth informing.
The party agrees and Chioma takes off.
Alosrin set up the Cozy Cabin for them to stay the night awaiting Chioma's return in the morning.
Andomeda tells Bjørn that she expects him to trust her judgment on these things. They have been travelling around for a while, and she's willing to follow him. But she expects him to trust her.
Bjørn tells her that he's not in charge of anyone's life, and he never asked her to follow him. She calls him a coward and he throws his hatchet at the Cabin's door next to Andy, and shouts "Do you want to see how much of a coward I am!?"
She said "You already have." And entered the Cabin.
Bjørn takes off on his own. As he is walking, he sees an odd Sloth looking creature in a tree, and he decides to go back to camp. Instead of going inside, he climbs onto the roof and stares at the stars.
