Out South, thousands of years ago, there was a demonic incursion. There was one entity that became more feared than any paladin, angel, or demon. No one was quite sure what it was, and both sides had their names for it. The Demons called it Shaper, as it would sell them impossibly powerful war beasts in trade for weapons and relics. The Holy Warriors named it Collector, for it would give them items of unspeakable power in trade for the bodies of their dead. A name used by both sides was the Taker, as there was nothing that could sate its greed.
Regardless of its name, the monster was not to be trifled with. They say it could melt flesh and steel like wax, and that not even the demons and angels dared to attack it alone. It was an abomination. Minefields, barbed wire, crosses, magma, regardless of what defenses they put up, it would always arrive in the morning, with deals that could not be refused. They said it was a manifestation of abuse and mindless violence sent by the demons. They said it was a cruel justice without a sense of loyalty sent by the angels.
And when it hadn't been seen for over a thousand years, they said it was a myth.
But a shot was fired on the battlefields recently, long after all the bodies had been taken. Then came the telltale buzzing of flies and grave robbings.
The local government will pay big for anyone to prove or disprove the legendary creature's existence. The Taker must be found at all costs.

The Avatar of Szerucharz is sleeping in a heap of humanoid remains and broken dishes.
Taker is visible out on the battlefield. It wanders about, looking at the ground as though it had lost something. The fact that it can see out of its gas mask at all is rather impressive.

"Nothing. I guess you could say I serve myself, but that is certainly not my goal. I want to spread enlightenment, and if you hadn't noticed, I dislike violence and torture when it doesn't involve consent form both parties."

F3-0NN is gone from the Material Plane. Seems he succeeded in getting to Acheron.

The rosebush is in a library. Apparently, it can read without eyes.

It gestures to the page. It looks like it's a book about curses. Another book, open next to the bush, seems like it's about planar travel.

It grabs a quill and parchment from the desk and writes a single word: Research.
