"Oof there I go again though! Goin' and forgettin' my manners. I'm Nevi! I own this ranch. I'm sure you guessed what it is we do here of course! Raising kitbulls and other little magical critters. We established this place a few years back to help with the declining spawn rates of these lil' fellas. Somethin' is really messing with them there magical energies making fewer and fewer kitbulls show up. And whatever it is its also disturbing magic-eaters too..."

"I assume you must have encountered ol' pinky out there? Y'know, the big fluffy thing. Its called an Archound actually! We raise them here on the ranch too from time to time. They're usually really sweet, smart fellas but lately the wild ones have been acting up. Hunting further and further from their home on the other side of Novis. And there's been abandoned pups being found left and right!"

"My own companion is an archound actually, so it saddens me to see the big fellas doing so poorly out there. It also makes it dangerous for the more adventurous kitbulls living here, since they're easy targets for someone looking for a nice magical snack. I wish I knew what was going on, but I haven't been able to find anything"

✦ The beast || The Archound

As you head off you are stopped suddenly by the feeling of high tension in the air, you quickly look around and notice... The beast! You jump back and prepare yourself, expecting a round two of chasing and fighting! But that doesn't happen, instead it cautiously approaches you with curiosity in its eyes.

When it gets close it looks at you, and you feel a moment of understanding. The creature is sorry. It slowly bows its head to you. It seems as if the Archound wishes to join you on your adventures.
-------------------------------------------
The beast will be going to Limesparrow!

This Archound is uncommon and has some special abilities! You have the option between two abilities each time you include it in an entry that will have loot rolls or battles.

--> Magic Tracking
Using it's furred tendrils it can sense magical energies. This will allow you to choose one magical item that you'd like to double your chances on for each entry with rolled loot! That item will be rolled with advantage.

--> Savage Attack
The beast will aid you in battle and deal 5 extra damage!

---
All mounts will gain various abilities that can be used to your advantage when questing and adventuring in the Celestial Seas! More information on mounts will be released soon.

✦ The mysterious Prize || Babies!?

Three of you have stumbled across something quite interesting... Critters that appear to be pups from an archound! Following your intuition, you ended up taking the small babies back with you and decide to show them to Nevi to see if she has any advice.

She explains that, from what she knows, archounds would never just leave their pups unless something had happened to the parents. You were right to take them with you, as they could have easily been gobbled up by another creature. Though... Without anyone to care for them she urges you to take on the task! They can be a bit difficult to care for but they make great companions! She'd take them in but she's already got her hands full with other things. (And her own companion might get jealous)

If you take especially good care of them they can grow to be very powerful and reliable mounts!

These archound pups function as common companions, the same as all the other companions with the exception that they cannot be obtained from shimmering eggs. They will have the special option to be grown up into a full common archound mount through a special set of tasks that the owner can complete. More details will be released on mounts soon!
