Kazyk demands the case, and all contents that had been inside it, which the heroes refuse. Kazyk explained that he took their accepting of the bone and accepting the terms (by wearing it) and he did not take kindly to their lack of repect for contracts.  Suddenly, several imps spawned into the road and a fierce battle ensues. The heroes are all taken aback by the magical prowess the green-skinned man has over invisibility and his impervious to the fire damage caused by the teleportation spells.Though after each side gets in a few good hits, the battle stops as quickly as it started, with Kayzk telling the heros he liked their spirit, but that prefers to work smarter, not harder...that they are not going to escape this forest without his help, so he'll be seeing them after the forest has broken them down ome. Vic and Sorian checked in with Reshi and Torrent, the two who the brunt of the hits in the fight before setting back off down the road. While heading down the road,  Torrent asked Sorian about his personal history, as they had both only known each other by reputation while in Gate Pass. Sorian recounted being a child refugee, and the mixed emotion that this forest is his anceteral home, but being back...it doesnt bring the same feelings of home that thinking of his Tarnesti district/slum in Gate Pass does.  Vic was walking with Crystin, trying to teach her some fundamentals of a new spell, though Vic became distracted by thinking she saw a stag made of fire walking along side deep into the burning forest. No one else saw what Vic did, and tried to tell her eyes were playing tricks on her.Further down the road, the group came across an odd sight: a vase engulfed in flames burning in the middle of the road. Everyone approached it cautiously, except for Reshi, who, ever curious, decided to kick the piece of pottery over without so much as a cursory glance. As soon as his foot made contact with the vase, the mimic revealed itself by taking a massive bite out of the Brass Dragonborn and clamping down onto its kill…a this bite knocked Reshi unconscious and he wasn’t breathing!With Reshi at risk of being eaten whole, the rest of the heroes rushed forward: Sorian tried to yank Reshi free, but the mimic bit down harder…not letting go of its fresh meat in decade. Following the failed yank, the mimic swallowed more of Reshi’s leg, up to his knee now! Grom came forward--and having seen Sorian fail to pull Reshi out and that it caused Reshi to be eaten quicker,-- had a quick debate about “do I hit the 'not-vase' or do I chop his leg off?” <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f635.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt="o_O" title="Er... what?    o_O"  data-smilie="12"data-shortname="o_O" />Grom saw Vic coming up behind him and opted to hit the mimic, thankfully making purchase, though not enough to get it to spit out Reshi. Vic used a quick spell to stabilize Reshi before she and Torrent each landed a blow to the mimic, killing it….well,  knocking it unconscious allowing them to free Reshi from it maw.  Its remains did remain smoldering so after only pausing to quickly heal Reshi just enough that he could walk with only mild assisstance, they hurried on down the road.  The session ended with an apt joke from Vic that she would have been able to fashion Rehi an awesome prosthetic leg as she tapped her own metal arm.[SPOILER="DM Note"]I wish I could say this helped my Dragonborn <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f9cc.png" alt="🧌" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> PC learn that actions have consquences and maybe interact with the world just a little bit but it doesn't <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f926-2640.png" alt="🤦‍♀️" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
