He shook his head, snarling to himself as he puttered around the shop. Several things were missing, but one item in particular. Wondering briefly if Tyler was playing a trick on him again, Nicodemus growled about the bratty children of the wood.

"Puck needs to keep them in line!" he snapped, shoving the box of dolls to the side in his search for for his missing things. When he realized that several other items had vanished from the next two boxes in the storeroom, the old satyr grumbled more.

"Where are those things? I know they were here!" he snorted in anger. "If it's the children again playing their tricks, I'll beat them within an inch of their lives. I'm getting tired of this! And if it's that Trickster, he'll get a few choice words from me also!"

Finally in true exasperation, he snarled at the top of his lungs. "Whomever took my things had better return them, or I'll chew them up and spit them out!"

His voice echoed out the open shop door and into the area causing all those moving through the glade to stop and blink. Someone had made Old Nick spitting mad. That was not good. Many scattered as the old satyr charged out the doorway.

"Someone better find them quick!" he yelled again.
____________
Someone has stolen some things from the storeroom in Old Nick's shop. Who did it? Where are they? What did they take? And what are you going to do to catch them and bring peace back to the glade again?


1. Figure out what happened and watch for clues.
2. When you think you know who did it, then post it similar to CLUE. Example: Puck did it to cause trouble. He hid the (items) in the (first cave at the edge of the wood).
3. We will reply if you are correct or not. If wrong, we keep going. If right, the quest ends, rewards are given and Nicodemus gets his stuff back.
4. Remember that anything you do not witness or see personally may only be hearsay. It is up to you to sort the truth from the lies or what is that person's point of view.


I'll post rewards as soon as I figure them out with Chae. This is the second quest and should be fun with the new critters around.

Ichinaou had been trotting along through the woods when he heard the sudden shout of the old Satyr. His leg was finally healed, but the shouts had caught him off guard and tumbling backwards where he fell right into a unicorn. He got up and bowed at the unicorn, hoping she would realize that he was apologizing.

The unicorn laughed at the little Iguion, "Do not fret, there was no harm done." She used her tail to brush off some of the dirt that had gotten into Ichinaou's fur. "I believe you are called Ichinaou, right?"

Ichinaou looked at her strangely not knowing how she had known his name, but nodded his head to tell her she was right.

"Pleasure to meet you then, I am Uniciphina, shall we go see what old nick is all riled up about?"

Ichinaou shook his head vigoriously, he did not want to have to deal with that Satyr. In truth he sort of scared him.

"It's okay, I shall be there with you, you have nothing to fear." She began to walk through the woods with Ichinaou following closely at her side.

Skye sat quietly playing with Striker. She had just found her new friend and they were becoming closer than she had expected.
Edana was hovering closely admiring him as well. That is a very cute lizard you have Skye.
"His name is Striker. Do you really like him?" Skye has never been one for talking much. And considering that Edana doesn't have to speak to get her point across, the two of them seldom talk much.
Then suddenly, from across the wood came a loud, booming sound. "What was that?"
I don't know. It sounds like someone has done wrong by Old Nick.
"Should we go check it out? Striker, will you come along with me?" Feeling confident with her new companion, they began a new adventure...

Gailen rested in the shade of a low hanging tree. He was new here, and wasn't quite sure of himself yet. However, he had been playing a mock game of hide and seek with a little red and yellow bird that had fluttered to rest in this tree. He would duck his head behind a branch, and the bird would swoop down, peek over the branch and twitter merrily at him before flitting back up higher to let him 'hide' again.

When the outraged bellow of the old saytr who was in charge of the shop interrupted their game, Gailen poked his head out from between the trailing leaves. What was up? He could see Old Nick standing in the door of his shop, yelling about someone returning what they had taken from him, or there would be trouble. Gailen sat up straighter as the formidable shopkeeper barreled his direction, face contorted with his fury.

Gailen took two steps from under the tree, leaving half his wings and all his tail underneath the leaf-fall. The little bird did not hide either, chittering curiously and landing on his back, hopping forward to sit atop his head and eye Nicodemus brightly.

"What was taken? What should I look for?" This was about all Gailen could think to call. His head sank lower and lower as Nicodemus got closer. Goodness, but the saytr was intimidating!

((I'm willing to band together with someone. I work best in a team anyway.))
Everett looked around to look for familiar faces with the Firebird incident, and also to eye possible suspects. One name popped into his head though, and he was pretty suspicious of the Wyrm, Nefar.

Ack! Out of my head, you must stay! Everett thought. He turned to Edana and hooted a few times at her, while Riona went over to Skye to see what she was doing.

((Nefar is NOT an NPC in this. What he says is only a player reaction. ))

Flying in low over one treebranch and then under the next, he startled the firebirds with a smirk on his face. Landing his claws digging in slightly, he glanced around. There was alot of activity going on here at the moment. Folding his wings back against his body, he looked around. Most were talking quietly but others were acting as if they were snooping around about something.

He raised an eyebrow. It was a good day to come to the glade if there was trouble going on. Maybe he'd find some amusement here. There'd been none on the plateau.

Then he noted the centaur on the edge of the glade. He was new to the area and the first one that Nefar had seen. Perhaps he'd find some amusement in that one later.

Then he saw Gailen. Blinking in surprise, he watched him a moment. He'd grown a bit. Walking up behind him, he tilted his head a moment and then said, *Gailen, what are you doing?*

Gailen jumped slightly and swung his head around to look up at the question and grinned. Nefar was the closest thing he had to a friend here, and he was glad to see him.

"I am looking for clues," he said simply. "Old Nick has had some things stolen, and I was hoping to find some evidence of the nabbers somewhere around the tree." He peered again around the tree root he was straddling, hic head swiveling nimbly on his long neck so he could peer into a hollow space under a gnarl there.

"Would you like to help me? Finding mischief-makers should be a nice switch for you." He looked up again with a wicked gleam of teasing in his eye. He felt SO much more comfortable now that his big-brotherish friend was around. "This time you didn't make the mischief!"
