Yulya re-forges the Emboldening Bond between Alice and Cat. But seeing M3gan Panther stay behind and Cats enthusiasm fading - Yulya makes a decision.



I do not think it is good that we are in this maze of tunnels when the effects of my spells wear off and the skull attacks us! Let us wait with M3gan Panther for it to return unless we spot it now. Alice can you go scout ahead and come back quickly? I you find the skull let us know and we will come but otherwise return immediately!

Yulya waits for Alice to make her move. If she spots the enemy she will dash to get into attack position next turn. But stay outside of 30 ft of the skull.

Alice is a bit disappointed.
The lazy Panther is lazy! There's virtually no difference between the Candygoddess and Ashley in this form. Well fine, hold my skull while I go exploring! Don't lose it!

Alice hands Yulya the netted skull and dashes further East into the tunnel.She checks if there is an entrance heading West where the bulette tunnel meets the human-made one.If so, she explores it. If not she heads North for her full 80ft movement and peeks into the bulette tunnel crossing the human made one left and right. If the skull is spotted, Alice alerts the others.

Cat gives Alice temp HP again. She peeks after where Alice is going and perks her ears to detect any suspicious sounds. If Alice encounters nothing, Cat stays still to regenerate her Feline Agility. Otherwise she rushes in to help.

[Round 10][6 seconds]

Cat stays still to regenerate her Feline Agility

Yulya waits with M3gan Panther.

Alice checks if there is an entrance heading West where the bulette tunnel meets the human-made one. If so, she explores it. If not she heads North for her full 80ft movement and peeks into the bulette tunnel crossing the human made one left and right. If the skull is spotted, Alice alerts the others.

In the first tunnel branching east the pile of debris is traversable and she can see where a passage was dug to chase a vein. Nothing further of interest is here. She continues north and the tunnel to the west is traversable but looks unstable. The area to the East has caved in and is blocked. The tunnel continues North and West. A warhammer is laying on the ground to the north.

To her utter dissatisfaction, Alice finds that the way she had planned to go is blocked. Alice tries to squeeze herself through the debris of the tunnel heading West or at least take a peek inside. If this does not work without spending an action on Shape Self, Alice returns to Yulya and Cat.

As Alice finds nothing Yulya recalls her and retreats to 5 ft east of the panther.
Come back the way you came from! We will wait for the skull here!

Cat retreats 30 ft NW with Yulya, scanning the area.
Where's that skull Nya? Are you sure it will come to us Yulya Nya?

[Round 11][Some spells have worn off]

Alice tries to squeeze herself through the debris of the tunnel heading West or at least take a peek inside. Alice returns to Yulya and Cat.



[I don't know where you're talking about.]

Cat retreats 30 ft NW with Yulya, scanning the area.

As Alice finds nothing Yulya recalls her and retreats to 5 ft east of the panther.

[Fair prediction]

Alice finds nothing. Cat senses nothing unusual. Losing all sense of direction, Alice travels 80 ft South back the way she came.

Nothing else happens.

Yulya settles down next to M3gan Panther - placing the skull in the net next to her - and calls Alice. She hands out a piece  1sp candy to everyone. She is also offering one to the divine Panther on her flat hand as if feeding a horse.
Alice I know you have been running a lot of errands but can you keep watch while we rest?

Alice rushes in at maximum speed seeing that candy is handed out and gladly takes one, tossing it into her mouth. She watches with great anticipation how the Candygoddes Panther is refusing its share.

Alice I know you have been running a lot of errands but can you keep watch while we rest?
Alice circles Yulya and brushes against her like a cat
Haa, I'm sooo exhausted... But...

Alice fixates the unwanted piece of candy in Yulya's hand

...before you throw that away, can I have it? Then I'll surely have the strength to keep watch!

Having acquired a 2nd candy piece, Alice diligently watches the surroundings while the others rest.

[Hidden Rolls]

[Battle has ended]

As everyone settles to rest...



To your relief Mormesk returns through a rift in time space that quickly heals as he steps through. He looks down at you all resting and your minds are filled with a rather pleased sense of satisfaction.

"The mountain is clear, I have sealed the portal to the Underdark, removed 'the spectator' and all other remaining interlopers." He seems to know where it is and steps toward the severed head of Nezzner, taking it from its stow, he lifts it to look into its eyes, "I see you've completed your task. I have done well to trust you with this matter and now that the mine is clear I will take my leave. I would ask that you do not disturb my chest, I have re-secured it and will be back for it soon, but I will take my leave soon, here is your reward."

He places the following items at your feet.

- Wand of Magic Missiles: 1d6 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn 7 total charges. If last charge is used it will likely be damaged beyond repair.
- Jade Frog
- 4 mithril coins (worth 100 gold each) meant to be payment for your help in clearing the mountain so he could tie up the loose ends he felt he should do before he leaves.


"I will return to Neverwinter for now and inquire as to my standing in the order. The mountain holds no more value to me, and I hope to be given the task to find and secure the Forge of Spells from wherever it has been taken."

You can tell he's thinking about the 'Amethyst Heart' and decides it's of no value to him. He bows his head in thanks, "is there anything else you need of me before I take my leave?"

Just then, Yulya gets a vision from SheShe, the natural state of crystals in this cavern thins the veil between material and ethereal worlds, and a burst of knowledge like a download of data comes through. Though she sounds and feels different, it is still her. She says that you have all gained enough experience and all the conditions necessary to advance to level 5. She states she and Ashley have arranged that when dawn breaks tomorrow, you will all be level 5.



The vision Yulya has is like nothing she's seen of SheShe before. The child in the vision smiles, then with an apologetic look she says, "I'm taking Ashley with me to play for a while. Corellon is here to help you for now."

A dark haired catgirl who looks something like Ashley but not more than a child waves, then takes SheShe's hand and they skip off down a long golden sand beach and the scene fades with Corellon and The Cat God discussing some unknown subject.

You get the feeling that they've communicated with M3gan. You look at M3gan Panther and wonder what this all means, but that will have to wait, the big metal cat has fallen asleep.

[Time: Unknown]

[Note: Of all the items for Harbin's Quest, Ashley never found any Gold ore or Gem ore.]

To your relief Mormesk returns
Not relieved at all, Cat quickly moves behind Yulya as the blue ghost reappears.


Cat only relaxes when she notes the Catgod in her vision and concludes that things are settled.

Nyaa does that mean the flaming skull is gone too Nya?

With all threats apparently eliminated, Cat starts to prepare a meal.
What will it be Nya? We should celebrate our victory properly!


Cat has no idea if the blue ghost would even eat, probably not since it appears to be an undead. But customs demand that even Mormesk would be served a meal in case he'd still be around. Setting up her pots something suddenly strikes Cat
Nyaaa, wait a minute Nya! What happened to the Phandalin girls Nya? I think the panther saved them but where did they go Nya?
