Kailyn is able to track the raptor that got away for perhaps a hundred feet, before its trail vanishes into a tiny pool. Assuming that nobody has built secret tunnels into the middle of a swamp*, teleportation does seem the most likely candidate.

* Just in case it wasn't clear, this is sarcasm. There are no secret tunnels. Or, at least, if there are, they're so secret that even I don't know about them.

Gregor's wings will flap once in irritation propelling him 2 inches into the air before he drops back down to the ground. Unnoticed he sighs.

"Camouflaging raptors and teleportation. This is too focused to be some trick of the wild. I wonder if this was defense Tain prepared for while he was away or if we have a new enemy? "


"Episilon, is there any residual magic here aside from the normal variety of the wilds?"

"New plan!! Assuming someone has to create these things the will need to create more. Let's go track some of the raptor nests to see if any go missing."

Continuing to track the raptors down their original (nice, straight, non-teleporting) path, it's a bit over ten minutes before you reach the end. A small nesting area lies recently abandoned. Six nests are empty; some examination reveals that they were in use as late as just a few minutes ago. A seventh nest, set higher than the others, still contains a clutch of eggs. Tycho's symbol is crudely scratched into the ground next to it. Kailyn is able to confirm that this last nest belonged to two of the raptors that you killed.

A swift stroke of Gregor's sword will cut Tycho's symbol. Gregor will grab the remaining eggs.

"Let's see if we can find where they went. In the meantime let's take these eggs backto the city where the can be hatched without tycho's influence surrounding them."

It seems the remaining raptors have learned their lesson; their trails are concealed with both magic and conventional methods, and Kailyn is unable to track them down.

"let's go back home and plan our next move." Grabbing pieces of various nests Gregor will head home. Upon reaching home Gregor will hand the 2 eggs to a pair of the rangers training in his city to be brought up and trained a animal companions. He'll have the rangers work with the priest of Artemis to be certain that the animals are not tainted by Tycho.

Then he'll gather up the piece of the wounded raptor and the raptor nests and attempt to scry on the raptors and find out here they went.

It takes most of a week to get enough successful scrying attempts to have a decent image of where that pack of raptors relocated to. Some of your attempts (including all of the ones directed at the raptor that survived attacking Kailyn) simply fail; most of the rest are at least somewhat distorted by the swamp's wild magic.

While there are raptor attacks during this time frame, they're of the normal variety - no more "inexplicable" deaths.
