Our goal is to find patient zero of a disease that is necromantic in nature that is spreading through monstrosities in Steton, patient zero is believed to be in a chimaera nest several days to the southwest. The idea is to kill it and bring its corpse back, or capture it alive for study, hopefully before it succumbs to the disease.
Pushing through the woods we find ourselves at the edge of a monsters territory, we could walk around but that would take time, and because of our time limit we decide to push brazenly into the territory, and encounter three massive apes of white fur and multiple arms--Girallons. Felling these beasts we notice the brush in the southwest moving as a large panther like creature with tentacles sprouting from its back jumps out, a Displacer Beast.
As we harvest the corpses we harvest black blood (crafting token). The infection seems to be the creature ripping its own arm off in an attempt to prevent the spread of whatever it was being poisoned by.
Traveling onward, we find signs of monstrosities fighting with blood strewn about, and signs of blackened blood, denoting this infection showing us that we are drawing closer.
Taking a short rest as the sun begins to sink behind the horizon, we press onward and are attacked by a pack of dire wolves.
Taking out the wolves, we setup camp and begin resting for the evening resting we find the chimaera with only a single head, it appears the other two rotted off. The beast has deep blue fur and scales. Despite it missing two heads it does not long greatly weakened.
Martial: This creature is huge, in both stature and size, I gather that despite its affliction it will take a while to take down, it has Juggernaut. This will be the hardest to hit, its claws are sharp and with every pawing step it takes on the ground it tears large chunks out of it. Its wings while looking like it is succumbing to the sickness, it is still functional enough to take it speedily through the air, as shown by how quickly it appeared and landed. This creature also possesses the ruthless and combo trait.
Arcana: There is remnants of something magical remains on this chimaera, and though I cannot determine what it is, or the cause of what it is, I figure while fighting it there is a distinct chance it will have an effect on the fight. Eldritch Sight confirms the magical traces.
Divine Sense: This creature is not undead; however, my divine sense still picks up undeath coming from it. Likely the disease.
