Your party of four enters the pitch black forest, relying on sound, touch, and spirit vision to figure out where you’re going.
Staying in a tight group, you carefully scan the ground for any signs of a beast while being sure to keep your ears out for danger. After several minutes, you start to get bored from all the moss, mud, and insects, until you see something pointy in the ground. Crouching down, you pick it up - a long glassy shard, about the length of a human finger.
Madenuuk: A fragment of a magic organ. Perhaps there is a corpse nearby that we can scavenge from.
It looks like there are some reptilian footprints nearby, but they just sort of stop in an area of moss. No other footprints around the area. ____________________

You look up. High in the branches above, it looks like there're the remains of a drake tangled in the vines. No, not tangled - tied.
Madenuuk: A drake that fell prey to another beast. It may very well have intact magic organs, but us rummaging through the carcass may attract unwanted attention from the predator.
Guess you could either go for the remains and hope you can get out of the forest safely, or search for more lively prey.
Given the broken organ we found, not likely there'll be much in the way of intact ones, better t' go for a fresh body.
Ignoring the corpse, your party continues the hunt, searching the forest for trails. It isn’t long before you find more lizard-like footprints and the mark of something long sliding on top of the forest floor. Following the trail, you start to hear sounds ahead, and after getting sufficiently close without revealing your presence, your group peers around trees, over bushes, and from behind a rock.
Three drakes in a small but still dark clearing, tearing chunks off of a dead cow.
Each drake is easily the size of a lupus, you, if not a bit larger. Their limbs are thick and short with webbed fingers and claws, while their bodies are long but still sturdy. The heads resemble a fish but longer, and the entire creature is covered in a coat of dark scales.
Horoma: Four of us, three of them. Should be easy if we get the first attack.
Miimas: Wait I only have a gun and sword, are those even gonna work on them? Am I even doing this right, can you guys hear me?
Horoma: Three of us, three of them. If we just take two out, the third might end up fleeing. Saves us extra effort.
Madenuuk: How would Kyeltziv attack? I do not believe he has a way to strike at range, and I fear he may be struck by our attacks if he were to melee.
Horoma: He’ll be fine, I’m not going to sweep the place with fire. Kyeltziv, pick one to beat down with your hammer, Madenuuk will give you a hand with that one, I’ll roast another, and Miimas can shoot the third to scare it off. Unless if you have a better idea. ____________________

Re: Ad Infidium (Roll 193)
John, P’orihc, Ki’stha
Ki’stha: "You don't seem in too much of a hurry to get out of here. Do they treat you alright?"
Emiel: "Three meals a day, hot showers and a flowing toilet, plenty of books and lots of visitors. I can't practice any magic, but it's not exactly bad living. There are a lot worse prisons to be in, and depending on your crime, you're better off killing yourself before they capture you."
John: "Hm. Well, better than a cramped cell. Helps prevent unruly prisoners and breakouts, I suppose. This place really is more of a... holding facility than a jail, isn't it. Well, I'm significantly more confident in this plan than I was 20 minutes ago. Hey, Emil. If this works and we get you out of here, can you teach me some Construct stuff? I just got a crash course really, and I've been bumbling along from there."
Emiel: ”Sure thing.”
Well, the process of getting Emiel out seems like it’s going to be fairly simple.
