Barad Ding's eight cats

==Acquisition==
This quest is available once the party has reached the Hidden Refuge and will affect the amount of experience received during the companion quest Neera's Hidden Refuge. If this quest is not completed prior to finding Daxus Taralom then Barad Ding will kill himself and you will not receive the 5000xp for rescuing him.
==Walkthrough==
Talk to Barad Ding to initiate the quest and agree to locate his eight missing cats. They are all located in the Wild Forest and he will give you Cat Food to lure them into your inventory which must be used in a quick-slot.
It is a good idea to have cleared the traps from the forest prior to luring any cats. 
The cats have a 5% chance to escape from your inventory every two rounds, which means that once you have a cat in a party member's inventory you should head for the nearest map edge and travel to the Hidden Refuge. 
The cat will automatically leave your inventory once you arrive, and you can immediately travel back to find the remaining cats. The cats also cannot be moved from the inventory space they occupy, so you cannot put them in a container such as Dragomir's Respite to hold onto them.
If you run out of cat food, you can return to Barad Ding and ask for more. Barad says he does not have an unlimited supply. His script says different though. If the party has got three refills of cat food and still not been able to find all the cats, consider bailing out of the quest and finding an easier one, like slaying a Dragon.
Upon the completed return of all eight cats, he will reward you with a Collar Bell. And a cat named Dings to a mage or sorcerer.
