[h2][color=7bcdc8]Owlbear and Chariot[/color][/h2][/CENTER]

After Aurora frees Juniper from the harness, it takes a few moments for Juniper to realize she is free from the chariot after receiving some more pets and scritches. Upon realizing she is free, Juniper lopes about happily at her newfound freedom. She looks at Aurora with a tilt of her head, before realizing one of Aurora's friends is sitting at a distance.

Juniper looks to Jub and moves up to the goblin after he finished casting Find Familiar and Eighteyes hangs from his ear. The owlbear towers over him for a moment, before Juniper picks up the back of Jub's shirt with her beak and she carries him back to Aurora. Once she reaches Aurora, she plops Jub in front of her, having successfully 'fetched' one of her companions.

When they leave, Juniper sits still in confusion for a moment, before finally deciding to follow the group from a distance...

The group is able to continue on their way to Clapperclaw's intended destination.

Cozy torchlight radiates from a cave in the wooded hillside. Twenty feet from the cave is a tree with a weathered sheet of parchment nailed to its trunk.

"[i]How dare this ragamuffin defy me? Bring him to me alive and unharmed, and I'll grant you a loyal servant,[/I]"

Clapperclaw, who leads the way, speaks to the group, "Here we are! This is Nibs's Cave! Here you should be able to get some rest!" He then moves ahead of the group and calls into the cave, 

"HEEEY NIBS! It's me, Clapperclaw! I have friends with me!" 

An old man's voice feebly answers back, "Oh...? Please come in. You and your friends are welcome..." 

[hider=Open if you enter the Cave]Inside the cave, a wizened old man wearing a blindfold sits at a spinning wheel, surrounded by piles of gold. As he spins, he reaches down and grasps handfuls of coins, which transform at his touch into gleaming gold fibers.[/hider]
