## Ulfgar's log After Landing 2.49 - A Manticore and the Sacred Lake

After talking a lot about the discoveries and connections and also finding that 4 spiders that I had in my room are on a loose (they were at a size of a cat), I told Velma about the spiders to alert the other and watch out.

After that we decide to go try to negotiate the reincarnation of ArmMan (the kleptomaniac) going to the ruins of the five paths close to the spider’s cave looking for the druid Crazy Youif.
Since we were not able to see him at first glance we decided to go northeast following the river branch that we haven't seen before and at least explore something extra.

After 4 hours walking we end up at a meadow where the river makes a turn to the east ending in a small lake that is connected by a river coming from the north crossing in the middle a plateau with forest in it too and we could see further north some mountains with snow in the pics.

As the druid Crazy Youif did not show up so far, we decided to rest close to the lake. I said that would take the first watch, Uroroth said that would take the second watch and Uri the Third.

Right close to my watch’s end I see some darts follow in my direction end 2 get to me, hurting pretty bad, I shout out to others and throw a stick in fire to its direction in order to be able to see what was attacking us.

The thing that I see has a human-like face, a lion-like body, dragon-like wings and a scorpion-like tail, a very peculiar and dangerous creature, a Manticore.

We started to pursue the creature that attacked us and after dealing some damage to it started to flee jumping for very long distances and went in the water desperately and we finished it in there.

We restart the watch than the druid Crazy Youif appears and then we found that the lake is somehow Sacred, he did not appear happy with our presence there or the fact that Uri slept in the lake, we were not sure, since we are not proficient in a language that he speaks it was hard to find out.

But we were there to negotiate ArmMan reincarnation, Uroroth was the one that started to learn some goblin language from Sharn, we he was the intermediator of the conversation, it was a very rudimentary one, but we got a deal, and the price was a peace of the dead person, my special brew (called Goblins blood) and a service.

This time the service was to go to the Mountain and grab 3 feathers from the Mountain Bird without harming it in order for him to make some sort of ceremonie, when we ask where the Bird lives he points in the north-northeast direction that is where we have seen the Mountain when we arrived to the lake.
