A note arrives by local messenger. It reads:
For you have heard the call. Come to me, child. There is much to do.
There is a map to a notable fountain in the city. You have probably seen it. You may have even been there before.

Eartha is able to twist his head around and snap his neck and he fell to the ground dead. She grabs the stone and holds it up in the air showing victory
Rina watched the other Clerics attack the monster as she sat on the ground crying. The pain of her leg restrained her from standing.
Apollyon misses the monster and plunges head first into a tree.

Eartha gets ready to attack again and begins to sprint at the monster for another try [basic]
Apollyon lunges at the monsters chest in an attempt to grab the source of the light.[basic]
Eartha jumps onto the monster and starts frantically trying to retreve the stone but all she could do is knock the monster down
The beast howled, Selines ears rang as she crashed to the ground. She held her hands over her ears, as the rest of her body shook agains the forest floor.

Rina put her hands over her ears to muffle the shrill of the monster. Suddenly, she heard nothing. She had become temporarily deaf. The people around her tried to yell at her but she couldn't understand.
Eartha decides she can't let the other members get hurt while she just sits back and watches. Eartha begins to run at the monster and gets ready to try to attack it [basic]
Embers body is struck by the shrilling noise. Her body shakes as a ringing is sent through her head. She stands, paralyzed, looking around confusingly. She squeezes her eyes closed, unable to hear what is going on around her.
In agony, the beast howls--it shakes trees and even far off in the forest birds and beasts flee. If you were too close, the shrill sound may even be damaging. [Ember and Seline and Rina are affected]
Ember strikes the monster in the chest. She lets out a gasp of air as she thrusts all her power into it. The monster falls back and hits it's head on a fallen tree. Ember nervously waits to see how the monster reacts as it lays on it's back.

The monsters skin peeled back, revealing a bright blue glow coming from within the creature. Seline stepped forward, if she managed to get the Welkyn stone from inside the creature her task would be complete. She lunged forward running towards the monster, going to grab the stone.
Apollyon stands paralyzed behind a dead tree trunk. You could tell how happy he was when he let out a gleeful scream. It was a lucky hit and as soon as his fist made contact the glow appeared. It was a bright blue shine almost magical in its beauty.
[Basic + bow 1] 10 Rina hobbled towards the crying monster. She grabbed her bow from her right hand and placed it in her left. She took a deep breath and narrow her eyes on the monster's heart. She released the bow from her finger and watched the bow pierce the chest of the monster. Slowly, it toppled to the ground.

Ember spots the stone lying inside the monster. She waits for someone to do something, looking around nervously. She instinctively decides to go for the stone. She begins to sprint towards the monster. [Basic]
Eartha notices the glow. Her adrenaline kicks in but she just waits there quietly waiting for someone else to make a move.
With broken bones, crushed noses, and faces of dirt, at least one lucky strike makes contact with the monster. The whole lot might seem unimpressive, but if you look closely---there it is. The beast's head was thrown back, its skin peeling away from the stress along its neck and chest. The undeniable glow of a Welkyn stone inside the thing, visible now in its body.

[Basic+ sword 1] 10 Apollyon runs at the monster and uppercuts it in the chin, after the hard hit Apollyon runs for cover behind another tree.
Ember makes her way back to the monster, hurtling at its large body. She attempts to cut off its leg, going for under the knee. She ran towards it to, hoping to injure the monster, but she tripped on a large rock, face planting into the dirt directly in front of it.
[Basic] 5 Eartha turns back around and jumps on the monster and tries to go at his neck to pull him down

Seline began to pull roots up from the ground, attempting to block the creature from reaching them.
[Basic + Bow]2
Rina heard the breathing again. She slowly stood up from the ground. She grabbed her bow as the monster approached her. She tries to steady her hand but she can't. She aimlessly pointed the bow at the monster and as she released the arrow, it slipped from her hand. Rina hoped for the best as the arrow soared in the direction of the monster.
[0]1 Apollyon sees the monster and immediately turns to run for cover, but he trips and hits his head on the trunk of a tree. As he rubs his head he looks back at the marvelous monster.
Rina ran at the sight of the monster. She followed a narrow dirt path as the monster chased her. A root from a tree stuck up in the road causing her to trip. She turned around to see where the monster was. Fortunately, the monster was gone but she broke her leg. She limped to the side of the path and held her leg.
The monster began to run towards Ember, thankfully she saw a tree big enough to hide behind. She hid behind the tree quietly, trying not to move. The monster soon forgot about Ember and turned around, running the other way. Ember let out a deep sigh as she sank to her feet at the bottom of the tree.
[0] 10. The monster runs at Eartha and out of fear she screams and ducks around the creature, dodging it.

The monster smashed its shoulder up into Seline's chest as she tried to turn away. Her body flew back, crashing into the tree behind her.
The group is all at once ambushed by a vision of evil. A monster that looks as if it burns from within. [Basic attack @ all] 6, 10, 6, 4, 3
Ember noticed a pond and began to make her way towards it. She begins to lift the water searching for stones. Not being able to find anything she lays the water back into its position. The air cleared and across the pond Ember saw what appeared to be a tree, but not like the others. She started to make her way towards this tree, trying to see what it was. When Ember got to the tree it had scratch marks, but not regular scratches. These seemed to be from an abnormal creature.
As Seline walked ahead of the group, through the forest. As she walked, trees and plants parted in her path. Ahead a tree cleared, a blue light shone distantly from the ground. Seline stopped in her tracks, before turning around to tell the others what she saw.
Rina's ear perked up when she heard breathing. She turned to the east to investigate. Cautiously she walked towards the sound. Her feet barely hit the ground as she walked down a dirt path. She decides to stop walking so she can warn the group of the noise.
Apollyon looks at the tall tangled trees that spanned into the sky. He slowly turned in circles observing the Mistborn forest. You could tell by the blank look on his face that he had no idea what he was doing. He refocused himself after making no progress in the investigation of the forest.
Eartha pulls out a potion. This potion has the ability to make her see better and sharper. It immediately kicks in as she walks by a trail she didn't see before. She gets interested and begins to walk down the trail and to her surprise, she saw footsteps. These footsteps were odd, big, they were not human feet. As she realizes this was a big deal, she loudly yells, "Oh my gosh guys, everybody come and look at what i just found!"

The man seems stunned at the mention of the stones. Side stepping, he bows briefly as he lets them pass. The wood rises up, a swarm of black butterflies thwash out as the group goes forward.
Ember stood awkwardly as she witnessed the situation. To relieve the tension she let out a slight chuckle. She began to pick at her chipped nails after noticing the stern looks on the others faces following her laugh.
Rina raised her eyebrows took a step back from the guard. She turns to her fellow Clerics and looked for help. A man made eye contact with her and immediately turned his eyes away. Rina rolled her eyes as another girl laughed. She turned back to the guard and told him how they were sent from a Cleric to retrieve Welkynd Stones.
The group travels together, a quiet between them.
The forest looms ahead outside the open gate, and two guards stop the group.
“Halt in the name of Elantris,” he says holding up a hand and looking to Rina. “You may not pass into the Mistborn.”

Ember waited wonderingly, thinking about what these stones would look like. Her imagination ran with the thought of restoring the fountain.

Apollyon shifts his weight back and fourth on his heels as he waits patiently for all of the others gathered with him to speak. While rocking nervously he looks around the circle of newfound clerics. You could tell by the look in his eyes that he was examining each person closely with no emotion on his face. The woman had suddenly stopped talking which caused Apollyon to gaze up at her with interest in his eyes. She seemed to fade out of the light and as quickly as it had started the experience was over.

Seline stood staring at the woman in awe, alongside the other Clerics. Her presence was intense but her message was simple, complete this task or fail as a Cleric. Seline focused her engergy to step towards the fountain calmly, showing that she was willing to accept the challenge.
Eartha feels the pressure that's been put on her by this women. Eartha's whole body quivers at the thought of the danger there is on this journey. Her hands shake as the adrenaline kicks in and she begins on her journey to the forest.
Rina looks around at the other people to see their reactions. She then focused her eyes back on the old Cleric. Her head nodded as she carefully listened to the woman's voice. She wanted to understand everything the woman said so she wouldn't make a mistake and embarrass herself. After the woman was finished talking, Rina slowly turned her body and followed the group of people to the forest.
As the group comes together, there is a wash of sound as the city's bustle and business fades. It as if you are being shrouded by clouds themselves, buildings, the roads, and even the sky disappear behind a miasma of white smoke. Inside this illusion is the Fountain of Nira, an idol within the city. White and gold, the piece is both elegant and a force of magic. You might even feel the pulses of Nira's light within it. A figure appears, an old haggard woman in grey robes. Her forehead bears the magical mark and her neck is tattooed in a bright blue mark of Nira. She is clearly an old Cleric. "Hello," she says plainly. "You have come at the call of our Mother, the living goddess. This is her fountain--it protects us all....but it is failing. You have been called to enter the Mistrborn Forest to retrieve what we believe will prolong the life of the fountain: Welkynd Stones. "Bring back three, or do not return at all. And as Nira would have it....take care of one another. The forest is a dark place." [[From the lore book on the fountain: Today, the fountain is falling apart. What was once glorious is now crumbling. The marble is collapsing, and the gold no longer shines. It would take 10 years to fix without the works of magic. Now, it's up to the people of Elantris to rebuild the fountain so Nira can reign over the city once again. ]]
Seline looked carefully at the note she held in her hand. She looked around anxiously before she started walking, following the directions that had been written along with the note.
When she arrived at the fountain she noticed a group of people holding the same note as her, many seeming as nervous as herself.
Ember grasps the note tightly in between her sweaty palms. She folds it neatly and begins to make her way toward the fountain. Ember had been to the notable fountain when she first arrived to Elantris, so she had an idea of where to travel.
Apollyon looks up from the note after reading its contents. He looks around in an attempt to get his bearings, while maintaining a firm grip on the map. The look on Apollyons face is of both surprise and wonder as he begins to make his way to the fountain.
Rina holds the paper in her hand as she follows the map, looking down every few steps to stay on the path. Her long hair swayed back and forth as she quickly walked. She rolled the note in her hands while she walked along the brick roads leading to the fountain. Her eyebrows scrunched at the thought of what the note meant.
Eartha's eyes get big as she reads through the note and looks around to everyone else in wonder if they are just as excited as she is. Eartha's heart starts beating faster as the time for her to leave gets sooner and sooner
