The Magical Mystery Show

The Maquessa D'Ormlottre is the patron of the Great, Marvellous and Magical Mystery Show. However it has run into a spot of bother. Enroute for the Michaelmass festivities in Konigsburg they were set upon by bandits, a growing problem ever since the abortive Drow invasion. While the damage was not major several menageries escaped in the confusion. This represents a major draw for the circus and the Marquessa would like them retrieved or replaced with equally fantastic beings.

Pay 500 sp per critter retrieved.
