The associates are called to investigate a string of jewelry disappearances that have been happening throughout the city, with no clues as to who or what is responsible.
Log
The party has assembled in order to find out why gems have been disappearing, as there have been no signs of break ins. There have been multiple reports in the city of cases like this with no notable pattern to the crimes. The party asked for a few extra gems in order to act as bait and to go visit the last location in Little Monarch that was burgled to look for clues.
Kubo used detect magic to determine there was no magic present and then Trapper knocked on the door. We were greeted by a tired looking woman who let us in to search for clues. The party checked the room where the gems were kept and did not notice any signs of break in. Kubo hypothesized that it might be an earth elemental that was taking the gems as only the gems were stolen, not the jewelry they were set in. While drinking tea, Kubo learns there is a basement and it is not entirely covered with flooring. The group investigates and finds tiny foot prints and a small hole. Hilda used her earth abilities to try and widen the tunnel so we could try and use it with Wuyang Ye assisting. But the tunnel was too deep for them to dig up. Some guards dropped off some gems for the group to use as bait and the party looked for an abandoned house to set up a trap for the thief. The went to a house that had a large underground area under it. They found a pile of rubble to put the gems on and hid in order to wait and see what would happen.
After a while something that was hard to see started to take the gems, the party jumped it but it was intangible to a certain extend, ignore physical strikes and attempts to grab it. It tunneled underground butt he party was able to track it thanks to Wuyang tracking it with water. Kubo identified it as a type of earth type creature called a Sableye. They tracked the creature and then ran into a dwarf who spoke angrily before attacking the group. The dwarf turned out to be the vengeful ghost and the party beat him after getting hit by a cloud of burning ash. While healing after that fight the party was attacked by several rock bats along with the Sableye. The party finally dispatched the bats but when Kubo thought he finished off the Sableeye it ate a heart shaped gem and healed up, while using the gem as a shield. The party still managed to surround and finally finish off the creature as it tried to flee. Before it died it had used some strange ability on trapper that caused him to go berserk and be unable to tell friend from foe until the party beat the craziness out of him.
The party was able to retrieve a number of gems, some intact and others damaged from being chewed on. They returned to the city guard to report the job being finished, right after turning in the heart shaped gem to its owner and getting a belt as a reward.
