Quest report Gone Fishing by Deanne Harper, Cleric accompanied by her team Onyx, Nasha, and Roy,
The aim of this quest was to test the availability of a food source in an unamed region near Evenbirth Forest.
The beginning was a straight forward trip to captain Captain Az'Zahir Hassad's ship and crew. The rest of that evening we busied ourselves under the captain's generous hospitality.
Late evening or early morning I had stepped out needing a breath of fresh air and in a terrible fog I felt uneasy. My instincts were correct and summoning my team saved valuable minutes. A raiding team of fish men attacked. It was a hard fight, but our strength added to the captains saw us through with very little casualties.
A few days later with our travel complete we left the captain's protection and began our trip across the forest. Moving carefully towards our goal.
The Everbirth Forest is like many rain forests, muggy, uncomfortable and difficult to traverse. Clean water is a top priority, but a skilled magician may draw from the very air to satisfy needs. We discovered an odd effect the forest has upon its inhabits. The creatures will begin to regenerate upon death granting them a near immortality we could not combat. Should other teams be found in such a situation I would recommend defeating greater threats and escaping before their regeneration allows them to reenter the fight. This is how my team handled a cave bear, a group of maggots and fly encountered several days since arriving. A few days later we arrived at our destination and at a nearby beach we tested the water finding it rich in edible marine life. This is a viable food source. We have brought back a sample of a large fish and octopus fished from the water
