## Walkthrough

* Invitation for the Baron begins the Season of Bloom chapter and offers you this quest, you can decline, but it's not optimal and doesn't give you anything in return.

### Meet the Huntsman in the Hunting Lodge

* Go to Hunting Lodge.
* (Optional) You can speak with the servant for an alignment dialogue choice (Neutral Good), (Chaotic Neutral), (Neutral Evil). It has no consequences.

### Go to the Hunting Grounds / Kill at least two of the three magic beasts

* Go to Hunting Grounds.
* The primary objective of the hunt is collecting heads of three monsters. However you can return to Hunting Lodge at any time and finish the hunt. The results will be different depending on how much heads you collected.
	+ Owlbear's Head from Greater Enraged Owlbear in northwest part of the map.
	+ Hydra's Head from Poisonous Hydra in middle part of the map.
	+ Wyvern's Head from Ancient Wyvern in northeast part of map.
* A point of warning: the area is swarming with big health monsters that deal multiple strong attacks in full round attack. And poisons. So be prepared.
* In the northwest you will meet Julia Aldori and Edna Aldori fighting Greater Enraged Owlbear.
	+ They will both survive if at least one of them still standing by the end of combat.
	+ If they survive you can mock them to do (Chaotic Neutral) alignment option to pass it out as a joke or kill them with (Chaotic Evil) choice.
	+ Don't forget to loot Owlbear's Head
* In the middle you can find Poisonous Hydra with Hydra's Head, beware of it's breath attack, Delay Poison, Communal is your friend.
* In the northeast you will encounter Embeth Travelers fighting the Ancient Wyvern.
	+ You can do an optional (Chaotic Neutral) choice if they killed the wyvern without your help.
	+ You can let them have the trophy or kill them over it with (Chaotic Evil) choice. You need only 2 heads to win the competition.
	+ Killing them will unlock Special Encounter (Embeth Travelers).
* In the southeast you can find Annamede Belavarah.
	+ Agreeing to join their picnic will end the hunt.
	+ If you attempt to attack her she will run away, only Pitax Nobles will stay to fight. Doing this have some consequences during The Rushlight Tournament.
* After you have done everything you wanted in this location, head back to Hunting Lodge and tell Jamel Visser to end the hunt.

### Ask Jamel Visser about the competition results

* Jamel Visser will announce the winner of the competition.
	+ If you have 2 or 3 trophies you will be declared a winner and will receive the reward.
	+ If you have 0 or 1 trophies you could abuse your title to declare yourself a winner with [Evil-only] or [Chaotic-only] choices, it unlocks Special Encounter (Embeth Travelers). Or just let Embeth Travelers keep the reward to themselves.
* After that the Servant will explode and Ferocious Owlbear will burst out of his body. After the owlbear is defeated your envoy will engage in dialogue where you get to choose:
	+ (Chaotic Good) or (Chaotic Neutral) to reveal the information about disease to the populace.
	+ (Lawful Neutral) or (Lawful Evil) to hide the information about the disease to prevent the panic.
* The decision will have consequences for Unrest in the Streets event and minor consequence for Mother of Monsters quest.

### Wait for the royal council to gather

* This objective is completed on Day 255, 260 days until AAC3 during a Monster Invasion event.
