It's the muttering that draws you to the clearing, following the soft cursing and clattering down the twisting footpath until you find a small brown Fae struggling with a hefty carpet bag and a folded wooden camera tripod.
He startles slightly as he spots you, brightening a moment before immediately looking distracted again, "Oh! Perfect, you'll do. I'm trying to do my field research for my first paper, but I've mislaid my lures, I think..." he looks around the clearing with a soft frown, "They were definitely around here somewhere..." he potters off a little ways, muttering to himself as he flicks through books and adjusts his glasses on his nose, turning back to you after a moment and raising his eyebrows, looking surprised.
"Oh, hello," he says softly, "Terribly sorry, I'm rather in the middle of something right now, uh, my name is Nikita, Niki if you want, Kita if you [i]really[/i] want, but no one does. I..." he frowns again, leaning closer to the book in his hand with a slight tilt of his head. "Oh dear, I fear I brought entirely the wrong things, do you possibly have time to help me out at all? Terribly sorry to be taking up your time, but I really would appreciate it."
THIS IS A TWO WEEK EVENT, RUNNING PUSH WEEK AND FEST WEEK

“You see, I’m trying to lure in a Satin Pocketmouse to study in its natural habitat, but the pages of the field guide were stuck together, so I was reading the wrong one,” he sighs, flicking through the guide in his hand and turning to another to double check. “Yes, okay,” he nods, pulling a tightly bound roll of parchment from his carpet bag. “Here, I’ll write you a list, if you have a spot of time perhaps you can help a poor scholar out. I’ll be here trying to get the camera set up and ready, do come back and find me when you’re done?”

You find Niki a little further into the woods the next day, adjusting his camera lens before going back to his books with a hum, flipping through to the right page before he spots you, “Ah! Your help yesterday was [i]invaluable[/i] to my project, but I’m ashamed to say something has run off with my lure bag, and I am in desperate need of your help again,” he sighs softly, shaking his head.
“Do you think you can help me lure in a Nightsky Fuiran? I think this should be what we need,” he hands over another scroll, a fancy brown wax seal with gold lettering sealing it.

[center][b]Day Three[/b]
Niki is halfway up a tree when you find him next, trying to position his camera between two prongs of a forked branch, precariously balancing on the third himself, teetering slightly.
"Oh! Hello down there!" He calls down, "I'm trying to-" he grunts with effort as he secures the camera finally. "Trying to capture some reference images of Umbra Wolves, do you think that you can-" he cuts off into a yelp as he topples backwards off the branch, catching himself on rapidly unfurled wings, swiping the back of his hand over his brow. "Goodness. So sorry, but I could really use your assistance again, if you're available?"

There's belongings strewn all over camp when you find Niki the following morning, the Fae looking equally as scattered as he flits to and fro, overturning piles of things and muttering to himself.
He lifts his head as he hears you approach, flinching slightly before relaxing, "Oh thank goodness!!

[center][b]Day Five[/b]
Niki looks a little frazzled when you find his camp, flicking through books and making notes, papers strewn across a fold out desk beside his bedroll, protected from the wind by his haphazardly hung canvas sheeting. "Perfect timing," he barely looks up as you approach, "I'm [i]sure[/i] it will work this time, I just need a few more things to lure in a Bullephant, I'd love to get a look at those ice crystals up close."

[center][b]Day Six[/b]
Niki gives you a very serious look as you approach, leaning in to whisper, "Today isn't quite like the others. It's not so much a lure as a… summoning," he explains, tapping a claw on the scroll beside him. "If I'm correct, this one will [i] actually [/i] work, and I can get a good close look at a Somber Spirit!" He bounces just slightly, but there's an almost wild look in his eyes. "You can help right?"

"Okay, okay, listen," Niki tugs at his frills as he speaks, pacing back and forth on the branch in front of you. "I'm giving this one last shot, and if I don't get a Teleporting Planesrunner, I swear to the Shadowbinder I will [i]quit[/i]!"
He stamps his foot, folding his arms over his chest and harumphing, "You hear that?" He turns and shouts into the forest, his arms thrown wide at his sides, "This is your last chance!"
He nods, seemingly satisfied, and turns back to you, pulling out a scroll from his waistcoat pocket, "Be a darling, won't you?"

Niki looks slightly unhinged as he turns to you, eyes wide and one twitching. It's clear he hasn’t slept, nonsensical notes spread around him on the table. “Finally, I’ve been waiting all night for you!” he laughs, something strange about it. “I’m not going to let this forest beat me, not a chance. So!” he grabs a scroll with several crossed out sections and scribbled drawings, “I think I can discover something new, I think these woods have something [i]strange[/i] going on, and [i]I’m[/i] going to prove it. Well, [i]we[/i] are, if you’re still willing to help?”

“Yesterday was such a success, I think I know just the things to toss out there today, just you wait, we’re going to make the discovery of the century, I’m telling you now,” Niki bounces excitedly as he offers you a floral mug of herbal tea, “Forzando stopped by and said that much coffee is too much for a little guy like me, so this is what we have now, I believe it’s called Sha-ma-mi-lay.”
He nods knowingly as you take it, sifting through his paperwork till he found the scroll for you. “Here, and thank you again.”

"I heard a rumour that there's some sort of giant… reptile… out here- don't look at me like that I'm a dragon, [i]dragon[/i], that's different," he huffs, digging in a box of papers till he finds what he's looking for, adjusting his glasses on his nose.

[center][b]Day Eleven[/b]
Niki is pacing the camp the next morning, wringing his hands and worrying his lip, "There's something out there," he tells you as you approach, looking exhausted and a more than a little jittery. "I heard it all night, I've never heard anything like it, I think it was drawn in by my lights and the fire," he swallows, removing his glasses to rub his eyes, cleaning the thick lenses on his shirt, jacket unbuttoned for once.
"I think i know how to lure it back, but I'm going to need your help," he scribbles down another list, hands shaking slightly.

"I heard some other dragons talking yesterday, they've seen some strange… walking trousers out in the woods, and I'm not [i]quite[/i] sure how to make them appear but I figure if we just gather things that are similar colours to them, maybe stack them up in a vaguely… trouser… shape…" Niki sighs, removing his jacket and draping it over the back of a chair in his tent. "I don't know, it's worth a shot though, right?"
He looks at you with slightly wild eyes, looking very tired. "You think so?"

You find Niki on the outskirts of the Driftwood Drag, prepping a boat. "Ah! You're just in time, I'm going where no one has gone before, where there's bound to be new creatures to find and catalogue, in certain!"
He tosses his camera case into the bottom of the boat haphazardly, "Are you coming?"

Niki looks completely unhinged when you reach camp, gesturing wildly at his desk and notes, swigging from the coffee pot as he tugs at his tie to loosen it, “This is it, the peak of my career!

A hook and a feather make for an essential fishing tool or this year's new fashion trend.
27
Glowing Mushroom Cap
Organics
Wear it as a hat! Put it on your familiars!
27
Dusky Apples
Plant
A perfectly sweet and palatable apple of an unusual coloration. Sadly its bluish hue does not translate well as a dye.
26
3
Violet Betta

While reds and blues abound, breeding a true purple betta is quite the achievement! It's a shame this one is dinner.

Wisp Bug

These bugs disintegrate shortly after they perish. Eat swiftly; this is not a meal to savor.
27
3
Herdbeast Haunch
Meat
A wise dragon never says no to leftovers.
29
3
Speckled Savanna Pelt
Organics
Once thought to be a natural pattern, it has been discovered that the spots along the hide of this type of ampelope are a residual discoloration caused by small arcs of electrical energy connecting different hairs.
33
Royal Lantana
Plant
A meal fit for nobility!

There's belongings strewn all over camp when you find Niki the following morning, the Fae looking equally as scattered as he flits to and fro, overturning piles of things and muttering to himself.
He lifts his head as he hears you approach, flinching slightly before relaxing, "Oh thank goodness!! I thought you were a Nightfall Imp, come to terrorise me some more," he shakes his head, hand over his heart. "The little monster took my sandwiches, and I was rather looking forward to those, and my field journal! Do you think you can help me lure him back?"
Murky Scales
Organics
These scales are soft and flexible.
37
Twilight Jewel Moth
Insect
Traditionally served chilled. The wings can make a decorative garnish.
35
3
Silver Horn
Organics
Sadly, not made from real silver.
36
Scarlet Yuccaweave
Dragonmade
Though practical, this deep red-colored rope can stain fabrics pink if stored together.

"Perfect timing," he barely looks up as you approach, "I'm sure it will work this time, I just need a few more things to lure in a Bullephant, I'd love to get a look at those ice crystals up close."
Paradise Seeds
Plant
Some dragons swear these are superior to mere sunflower seeds. Others cannot discern the difference.
38
4
Fir Branch
Organics
Easily mistaken for a Pine Branch.
15
Arctic Scrub
Plant
Many dragons dislike scrubs, but sometimes you have to settle for whatever's available.
25
3
Bulrush
Plant
When not consumed, bulrushes are popular for crafting woven baskets and wreaths. When consumed, they're best boiled or steamed to soften their thick exterior.

Omen Seeker
Meat
Many seekers never grow a third eye. As a result, their size and intelligence is greatly diminished.
41
4
Bottled Bones
Organics
This is the kind of thing that you'd find in the back room of your local magic shop.
47
Grave Dust
Organics
One is just asking to be haunted when collecting this from crypts.
420

A thick tallow candle to read creepy stories by. Let's hope it doesn't blow out.

Minerals & Ores

"Okay, okay, listen," Niki tugs at his frills as he speaks, pacing back and forth on the branch in front of you. "I'm giving this one last shot, and if I don't get a Teleporting Planesrunner, I swear to the Shadowbinder I will quit!"
He stamps his foot, folding his arms over his chest and harumphing, "You hear that?" He turns and shouts into the forest, his arms thrown wide at his sides, "This is your last chance!"
He nods, seemingly satisfied, and turns back to you, pulling out a scroll from his waistcoat pocket, "Be a darling, won't you?"
Kelp Cuttings
Plant
While many dragons disdain kelp, they are capable of consuming it.
42
5
Imperial Tails
Plant
A basic staple of many dragon clans, this tasteless grass thrives in areas of negligible magic concentrations.
41
5
Incorporeal Substance

An oxymoron that nevertheless fills the stomach.
43

Slimy Delight
Meat
Delightful.

Well, we are, if you’re still willing to help?”
False Leaf
Insect
When they hibernate in great quantities, false leaves can make bare trees appear lush.
17
2
Maggot
Insect
It's not hard to find large quantities of maggots. Just look for any festering corpse.
20
2
Wildwood Moss
Organics
Some moss took a lichen to a tree. (Special thanks meenahray.)
22
Dark-Tufted Featherduster
Seafood
A snack for the swift, catching these worms before they retreat into their tubes is a talent.

He nods knowingly as you take it, sifting through his paperwork till he found the scroll for you. “Here, and thank you again.”

"I heard a rumour that there's some sort of giant… reptile… out here- don't look at me like that I'm a dragon, dragon, that's different," he huffs, digging in a box of papers till he finds what he's looking for, adjusting his glasses on his nose.

Niki is pacing the camp the next morning, wringing his hands and worrying his lip, "There's something out there," he tells you as you approach, looking exhausted and a more than a little jittery. "I heard it all night, I've never heard anything like it, I think it was drawn in by my lights and the fire," he swallows, removing his glasses to rub his eyes, cleaning the thick lenses on his shirt, jacket unbuttoned for once.
"I think i know how to lure it back, but I'm going to need your help," he scribbles down another list, hands shaking slightly.

"I heard some other dragons talking yesterday, they've seen some strange… walking trousers out in the woods, and I'm not quite sure how to make them appear but I figure if we just gather things that are similar colours to them, maybe stack them up in a vaguely… trouser… shape…" Niki sighs, removing his jacket and draping it over the back of a chair in his tent. "I don't know, it's worth a shot though, right?"
He looks at you with slightly wild eyes, looking very tired. "You think so?"

You find Niki on the outskirts of the Driftwood Drag, prepping a boat. "Ah! You're just in time, I'm going where no one has gone before, where there's bound to be new creatures to find and catalogue, in certain!"

Niki looks completely unhinged when you reach camp, gesturing wildly at his desk and notes, swigging from the coffee pot as he tugs at his tie to loosen it, “This is it, the peak of my career! I can feel it,” he gestures dramatically, nodding. “We’re so close to a break through, we’re going to get the ultimate creature, I just know it.”

[center][b]Day One[/b]
Niki looks down at his book, then back at the creature nibbling on the lure, then back to his book. “Well. This is most unexpected,” he frowns, flicking a few pages and then turning back to the Gryphon, looking very perplexed.
“I… I’m sure those were supposed to be part of the lure for the Satin Pocketmouse, I read [i]so many[/i] of these books, I…” he shakes his head, “I guess… we just… try again…”
[img]https://i.imgur.com/cM1USAZ.png[/img][/center]
[center][b]Day Two[/b]
“Thats… I dont… this isn’t- how did this happen again?” Niki breathes, scouring his book, “What even- I didn’t- how did we end up with- okay,” he sighs, running a hand down his face, “Alright, sure, let’s just… tomorrow is another day.”
On the other side of the treeline, the Cerberus quietly continues to chew on the lure, unbothered by Niki’s quiet despair.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/v0dPnlk.png[/img][/center]
[center][b]Day Three[/b]
Niki's jaw is slack as he stares at the Chimera, blinking several times in disbelief. "Right. Sure. Okay. That's… definitely… not an Umbra wolf…. I… am not going to give up," he nodded, steeling himself. "I'll just try again, and it will [i]work[/i] this time."
[img]https://i.imgur.com/KQTJjIM.png[/img][/center]
[center][b]Day Four[/b]
Niki dusts off his field notes journal, tutting as he notices the damp edge, as though something has been chewing on it. "Well. At least that thing chased the imp back in this direction, I suppose… perhaps Forzando was right, I'm not cut out for field work."
[img]https://i.imgur.com/n5GdAC2.png[/img][/center]
[center][b]Day Five[/b]
"No! Stop that bird!" Niki yelps, trying his best to chase the Phoenix currently making off with his firewood. "Why can't I seem to do [i]any[i] of this right, just [i]once[i] I'd like to set a lure and actually get the creature I'm trying to study, is that so hard??" He tugs at his frills slightly, exasperated.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/oHbt7H3.png[/img][/center]
[center][b]Day Six[/b]
Niki tears up the scroll and tosses it in the air around him with a huff, "This is [i]not[i] what I was after! That's- noone [i]summons[i] a Jackalope!! The book was very clear, you make a circle with the dust, and- hey!"
You watch as Niki darts after the retreating jackalope, one of his research scrolls clutched in its mouth as he chases it around the clearing.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/uOglEdi.png[/img][/center]
[center][b]Day Seven[/b]
You're not quite sure what to think when you find Niki standing on the edge of the clearing, staring at the unicorn and just… laughing.
It's a little off putting, the sound almost deranged as he tugs at his frills again, turning away to scribble in his notepad while still laughing to himself.

[center][b]Day Eight[/b]
“Look at that!” Niki gasps, eyes wide as he sips directly from the coffee pot. “I knew it, I [i]knew[/i] there were things in these woods. Wow. He’s huge. Bigger than me, though that isn’t that hard really is it, wow this coffee is strong.”
He’s practically vibrating as he watches the Frogman pick through the lure bag, taking another sip.

[center][b]Day Nine[/b]
“Well that is certainly something!” Niki gasps, peering down at the devil as it tears into his lure. “I’m not even sure how to- which kingdom does it fall under, what [i]is[/i] it? Amazing…”
He makes a few notes, sketching the creature into his journal and grumbling when the flash from his camera sends it skittering back into the darkness.

Niki pokes his head out over your shoulder to peer at the yeti as it digs through his equipment and camp, "That's… not quite what I wanted it to do," he admits, stifling a yawn. "I wanted a photo, to study it, but it- it's tearing pages out of my field guide!"
He clambers over your shoulder and grabs his mess kit, tossed everywhere by the intruder, banging a spoon against the pan as he tries to chase the creature away again.

"Walking trousers!!" Niki yelps, pulling you over to the edge of the clearing to look at the slow moving creatures as they lope across the pathway, investigating your odd construct. "They're real!"
Niki begins frantically scribbling in his journal, unbuttoning his waistcoat to give him more range of movement to write faster.

"Look at that, isn't it beautiful?" Niki sounds wistful, watching out over the water. "I can't wait to tell Procella about this one, she'll never believe me."
The huge creature dips back below the water for a moment, catching another fish before surfacing, regarding you and Niki from a safe distance.
