Nimue replies to Facebreaker "Memories... Her favorite items are those that hold strong stories and bonds to them. It is not always about the monetary value but the stronger the attachment it was to someone, the more she desires it."
Nimue giggles at Facebreaker before saying "Well I don't think that is how it works but I am sure it couldn't hurt. It is probably time we depart and save the "damsel in distress"" she quotes her fingers along with the words.

After breakfast, the adventurers head to the townmaster’s hall. The hall has sturdy stone walls, a pitched wooden roof, and a bell tower at the back. The job board next to the front door features a sparse number of notices, all written in Common and in the same hand. After a knock on the door, the party is met with: “If you’re a dragon, know that I’m far too thin and bony to make a good meal!”
…
As the group introduces themselves and assures Harbin Wester that they are not a threat, he agrees to hand over their payment. “Ah yes, we’ve heard about you from the Leonin and dwarves.” He opens the door’s peephole for just a moment to look at Leovold. “By Tymora, that’s a lion alright!” he says, quickly hiding himself from view once again. “Either way, with that dragon flying around here, I’m not leaving these stone walls unless it’s for eating. ...and maybe posting something on that job board out there.”
Harbin starts to slide gold coins out from the bottom slit of the door one at a time. After a few long minutes, the adventurers finally receive their payment of 50 gold pieces.
(ooc: 50/4 = 12.5, rounded up: 13 gp each)
Upon observing the job board, the heroes see that a new quest has been listed in addition to the previously unfinished one.
"The local midwife - an acolyte of Chauntea named Adabra Gwynn - lives by herself in a stone windmill on the side of a hill a few miles south of Phandalin. With dragon sightings becoming more common, it's not safe for her to be alone. Urge Adabra to return to Phandalin. Once she's safe, visit Townmaster Harbin Wester to claim a reward of 25 gp."
“Orcs have attacked Butterskull Ranch, five miles east of Conyberry along the Triboard Trail! Travel there with haste, assess the damage, and help any way you can. Ranch owner Alfonse ‘Big Al’ Kalazorn is a retired sheriff who can reward you for your efforts. If he’s dead, return to Townmaster Harbin Wester with proof of Kalazorn’s demise to receive a reward of 100 gp.”
WIth that, the adventurers head to Umbrage Hill.
…
Built on the slope of Umbrage Hill is an old stone windmill surrounded by an iron fence. A large winged monster with a spiky tail is trying to knock down the windmill’s front door. A woman appears in a second-floor window, waves at you, and yells, “By Chauntea, help me please!!!”

After being alerted of a new presence, the manticore immediately flies to the group. He bites and claws at Dusty.
Dusty grabs his amulet and silently prays to Tempus.
Dusty will Channel Divinity:

as soon as facebreaker locks eyes with the winged monstrosity, a calmness washes over him as his training and instinct take over.
”I will break you!”
the monk glides swiftly across the battle field delivering a devastating flurry of blows!

Attack: 18 Damage: 8
Attack: 13 Damage: 4
Whenever you hit with one of your Flurry of Blows attacks, you can impose one of the following effects on that target: fall prone if it fails a DEX saving throw (DC 12)

Leovold will summon an echo to charge at the beast and strike it with his new axe. He will use unleash incarnation to strike again. His real self will keep back the 15ish feet he can while keeping his echo around.
*reaction* without flinching, facebreaker takes the manticores claw attack straight to the chest.
”your puny scratches do nothing” *spit*

Dusty blesses his teammates, their focus seemingly heightened.
Nimue fires a blast at the beast, following with an attack from her spectral raven. (25 damage)
Facebreaker blocks the Manticore’s claws with his body, completely unfazed! He then pierces the monster before knocking its face up with his fist! (19 damage)
Leovold, with the help of Dusty’s power, grits his teeth as his echo goes in for a final slash. (9 damage)
The manticore has taken 95 damage!
The manticore roars in pain. Its body writhes as blood spills from the puncture in its shoulder as well as the searing on its flesh. It falls into the grass, lifeless. Upon closer inspection of the corpse, one can see that the beast looks malnourished, some of its bones showing through its skin. Leovold’s blade seems to have cut right through.
The manticore is defeated! Please award yourselves with 700 xp!
(ooc: This should put you at level 4.)
Cairns can be seen nearby, serving as graves for ancient dwarves. The adventurers pass through the ruins of a house, only its fireplace remaining, as they approach the windmill door. Barks from a dog can be heard just before the door swings open. “Oh, praise Chauntea that you came! That hellspawn was clawing at the door for my life and Mimi’s!” A small dog walks up from behind Adabra and looks at the party. “Please, please, come in. It must have been fated that you would arrive.” Upon entering the windmill, various tools, herbs, and potions can be seen lying about. “Please take this,” she says, pressing a potion of healing into Nimue’s hand. She then takes a closer look at everyone. “Yes, yes...all kinds of people come by here to shop for my concoctions. Would you like to rest? I have a room above if you would like to. We are all one under Chauntea.”
Dusty observes the manticore and realizes that it has the face of a lion and wings of a flying creature. Its tail has many spikes on it, some of which were shot at the group earlier. Upon further inspection, Dusty...

Nimue wants to see if there is any valuable parts of the manticore that could be worth selling to a vendor Nature 6
Nimue looks at Chauntea, then at the potion of healing, and then back to Chauntea. She grabs Facebreaker by the shoulder and whispers to him "Careful, she may be a mind reader..." as she takes the potion of healing and adds it to her bag. She will walk into the shop and look around around briefly before saying to Chauntea "It is quite a nice place, I think the mainticore's pelt would look perfect over here as a rug!" Nimue points to a random corner before contining "Well, what do you sell here Chauntea and why was there a manticore trying to make you its lunch?"
Nimue replies to Facebreaker "Memories... Her favorite items are those that hold strong stories and bonds to them. It is not always about the monetary value but the stronger the attachment it was to someone, the more she desires it."
the monk abruptly stands to his feet
”its settled! on this day, we shall create grand memory worthy enough for any bird queen.”
Nimue giggles at Facebreaker before saying "Well I don't think that is how it works but I am sure it couldn't hurt. It is probably time we depart and save the "damsel in distress"" she quotes her fingers along with the words.
"Very true. In any case, breakfast is finished."
Nimue stands up and says "Alright before we go save her, let us check the job board, then claim our previous reward before we head out again."

”Poor thing was just doing what it needed to survive. Looks like it hasn’t eaten in no telling how long.”
Dusty nods to the others.
”Hunger leads to battle and we won. Well done everyone.”
Does Dusty know anything about Manticores?

Dusty coughs.
”Erm.. That’s not Chauntea. That is a priestess of Chauntea.”
Dusty points at himself.
”I am a Cleric of Tempus. But I am not Tempus himself.”
Dusty looks to the priestess.
”Sorry Priestess. Looks like I’m running around with some heathens. I’m glad we made it in time.”
