Everyone had some good training and were beat so they went straight to the inn. George and Elizabeth woke up early and went to the guild to wait for the quest to be posted they decided on a bronze quest to check out a bug-infested forest. After checking their supplies and waiting for the others to wake up they finished getting ready. On the way to the forest, they saw something particular strange there was a stuffed bear in the middle of the path. Luna got excited and jumped out of the wagon George sensed something bad was going to happen he grabbed her. The bear was suddenly surrounded by smoke then a real bear was in front of them. this bear was a little strange it looked soft and it looked like it was being controlled. Then Ace yelled there was someone behind the wagon Elizabeth went to the back. There was a man in a blue robe his skin looked tough Elizabeth swung her sword it felt like cutting through wood. She was surprised she was expecting him to yell but smoke appeared out of nowhere and what was left was a wooden figure with a chip in it where she cut the man.
Elizabeth: How are you doing?
George: Fine I don't think these things are alive.
Elizabeth: *sarcastically* No way really.
George: Oh shut up I think they are being controlled be careful we don't know what else they will send at us.
A little wooden deer is thrown from the bush when it lands smoke appears and it turns into a real deer it's horns were clearly made of wood. George shot it a couple of times and it went down Elizabeth cut the bush where the deer came from there was a man in a Cloak was crouching there. He threw a wood whale George and Elizabeth didn't know what the sculpture was of. Silvia yelled to get out of the way they jumped back and the whale grew in size it was 45 feet long it roared and everyone covered their ears.
George: What the hell is that thing.
Elizabeth: I have no idea it's the size of a dragon.
Silvia: Thatss a whale they lived in the water where I was born.
George: Welp here goes nothing, bow art ballista shot.
George's bow gets big and he plantes it into the ground and nocks a large arrow and fires it. It hits the whale and it takes heavy damage it turns back to normal Silvia caught the cloaked man with her strings.
George: Why don't you tell us your name and why you attacked us.
Cloaked man: I'm not telling you a damn thing.
George told his snake to put a little venom in him.
George: Now you have a very special venom in you. In 10 minutes you won't be able to move in 15 minutes you will let off a very enticing smell and animals close to you will start eating you and in 20 minutes the venom will erode the rest of your skin. Now you can let that happen or you could answer my questions and I will give you the antidote.
The man was scared shitless.
Dave: Ok ok you win my name is Dave and I am a thief.
George: What was that magic you were using.
Dave: It is special magic where I can make Inanimate objects come to life and their strength depends on the material it is made of. Now please give me the antidote there isn't much time I promise to not steal again.
George: Frankly I've no reason to believe you nor should I so you will join our party so we can watch you if you don't agree have fun with the venom.
Elizabeth: WHAT you want to invite the person who just tried to rob and kill us to the party.
Elizabeth and George talk it over and agree if he decides to join he can but he has to have surveillance and work hard to earn their trust if he refuses then you know what will happen.
Dave: Fine I will join your party please just give me th.
George: The paralysis kicked in he did say yes though.
George gave him the antidote and they decided he would show his loyalty in the quest they are about to do.
