[QUOTE="Dozen, post: 6090903, member: 6698275"] Assuming a non-good party(obviously good guys would have qualms about locking Sprites up in a zoo): 1. Craft a box out of gypsum(so the box or the hand holding it does not burn to smitherines). Extinguish all fires in a considerable area, and lit fire(Preferably a Continual Flame, given you can cast it at that point) inside the box. Wait until the rat enters, then close the lid behind it. 2. Have one of the spellcasters command the skeletons to walk into a cage. May need to take care of their owner if there is one. 3. Dig a halfling-style hole a few hundred feet away from the Wasp nest during the day. Late at night, have a party member play dead in the open. Fascinate the Wasp as a readied action when it comes to investigate. While it's preoccupied, take care of any other wasps and ready the cage. Drop a weighted net on the wasp and defeat it the suprise round with nonlethal damage. Put it in the cage and run like hell for the shelter. Hold it until dawn. 4. Stake some rope with grappling hooks attached close by. Use the Wasp captured earlier as bait by opening it's cage around the spider nest. As it leaps down to catch it's prey, stick hooks into it from the side, again as a readied action. While it struggles, knock it unconscious and capture both of them. 5. Catnip! 6. Find a solitary Swindlespitter. Place meat near it. Don't show yourself just yet, wait until it finds the meat alone. After it finished eating, approach it and make a wild empathy check. Carnivores are peaceful when well fed, it should get you a circumstance bonus. Make friends with the bugger and adopt it as a pet. Optional: 'D'aww, who's the teeny dinosaur! Isitchu? Isitchu? Yes you are! Tickle-tickle-tickle...' 7. Have the party member with the highest will save stand around the lake in a peasant outfit, looking as stupid as they can(Boost will save beforehand, just in case). When the nixie charms the caster and fails(hopefully), pretend to obey commands. As it looks away within arm's range, pin it and signal the location to the rest of the party. In case they fail the check, the PC may stay there working for a few days, but nothing you can't afford once or twice. [/QUOTE]
