Test of the Pathfinder

Taking Shelter at the Fat Knave
On the 1st of Sarenith, year 4707 AR, five adventurers found their way to the Fat Knave Inn in the town of Greengold. While Sovliss Dawnshard came by road, traveling from Iadara with his two sisters, Inarin the Kitsune, Kismat the Dwarf, Voriel the Human, and Ward the Android purchased passage across Lake Encarthan. With the Fat Knave resting just a stone's throw away from the docks it drew each of the would-be adventurers to its hearth.

The inn was run by Imloth, a female elf who bore the weight of a retired adventurer, and the boredom that came from settling into a mundane life. While she worked the counter, a human girl by the name of Tatanye served drinks and food to the other travelers seeking refuge.

Most of the others secured their room and board with coin, but Inarin had recognized the bored Imloth, and stepped up to help manage the inn for the evening, eyeing a potential business opportunity. Imloth was only too happily took him up on his offer.

The Pathfinder Wizard and his Familiar
Sitting near the hearth was the old dwarven wizard Dwali Lorefinder, who smoked upon his long pipe and bore a large oaken staff, and listened to the conversations floating about the inn. His attention was held by the conversations by the five newcomers, his attention held by their banter and conversation, seeing if they would fulfill his own needs.

After a couple hours he gathered up the five to his table, introducing himself as Dwali Lorefinder, Dwarf Wizard of the Pathfinder Society. Dwali explained how he wanted to earn his way into the elven land of Kyonin, a region barred from outsiders, with the exception of Greengold, and to those who earned the favor of the elves. Realizing his best chances lay with allying himself with a group of adventurers, their growing renown would eventually grant him entry alongside them, he called them over in hopes of giving support of a wizard and pointing them in the right direction.

Yet he needed the group to prove themselves, a test to show that they would be up to the task, less they risk sullying his reputation by foolish antics. If only he had known what he was in for.

Capturing Nyausa the Faerie Dragon
The five were instructed to head to a nearby warehouse, supposedly rented out by Dwali, to attempt the test. The test had simple terms, to catch the wizard’s capricious familiar, the faerie dragon Nyausa. The small dragon informed the party he would be invisible, hiding where ever he deemed fit within the warehouse, and never remaining in one place for far too long.

With the group assembled at the warehouse they set to finding the tiny dragon. In the end it was Ward with a burlap sack that managed to trap the familiar and succeed at Dwali’s test.
