{{quote|As if we hadn't had enough trouble with bandits and trolls, a new calamity has befallen the country. No one knows from where, but countless magical beasts have appeared! [[Hydra]]s, [[wyvern]]s, hairy things with bird heads — all sorts of monsters arrived to upend the normal lives of our subjects! Deciding to combine business with pleasure — that is, combine diplomacy with killing monsters — our {baron/baroness} went to partake in a favorite pastime of nobles everywhere — the hunt. Nobles from [[Pitax]] and [[Mivon]] joined in, and some [[Embeth Travelers]] volunteered to be the huntsmen. [[Embeth Forest]] teems with different monsters and, fortunately, grows far away from our borders.}}

==Walkthrough==
* [[Throne room events#Invitation for the Baron|Invitation for the Baron]] begins the [[Season of Bloom]] chapter and offers you this quest, you can decline, but it's not optimal and doesn't give you anything in return.

===Meet the Huntsman in the Hunting Lodge===
* Go to [[Hunting Lodge]].
* (Optional) You can speak with the servant for an alignment dialogue choice (Neutral Good), (Chaotic Neutral), (Neutral Evil). It has no consequences.

===Go to the Hunting Grounds / Kill at least two of the three magic beasts===
* Go to [[Hunting Grounds]].
* The primary objective of the hunt is collecting heads of three monsters. However you can return to [[Hunting Lodge]] at any time and finish the hunt. The results will be different depending on how much heads you collected.
** [[Owlbear's Head]] from [[Greater Enraged Owlbear]] in northwest part of the map.
** [[Hydra's Head]] from [[Poisonous Hydra]] in middle part of the map.
** [[Wyvern's Head]] from [[Ancient Wyvern]] in northeast part of map.
* A point of warning: the area is swarming with big health monsters that deal multiple strong attacks in full round attack. And poisons. So be prepared.
* In the northwest you will meet [[Julia Aldori]] and [[Edna Aldori]] fighting [[Greater Enraged Owlbear]].
** They will both survive if at least one of them still standing by the end of combat.
** If they survive you can mock them to do (Chaotic Neutral) alignment option to pass it out as a joke or kill them with (Chaotic Evil) choice.
** Don't forget to loot [[Owlbear's Head]]
* In the middle you can find [[Poisonous Hydra]] with [[Hydra's Head]], beware of it's breath attack, [[Delay Poison, Communal]] is your friend.
* In the northeast you will encounter [[Embeth Traveler]]s fighting the [[Ancient Wyvern]].
** You can do an optional (Chaotic Neutral) choice if they killed the wyvern without your help.
** You can let them have the trophy or kill them over it with (Chaotic Evil) choice. You need only 2 heads to win the competition.
** Killing them will unlock [[Special Encounter (Embeth Travelers)]].
* In the southeast you can find [[Annamede Belavarah]].
** Agreeing to join their picnic will end the hunt.
** If you attempt to attack her she will run away, only [[Pitax Noble]]s will stay to fight. Doing this have some consequences during [[The Rushlight Tournament]].
* After you have done everything you wanted in this location, head back to [[Hunting Lodge]] and tell [[Jamel Visser]] to end the hunt.

===Ask Jamel Visser about the competition results===
* [[Jamel Visser]] will announce the winner of the competition.
** If you have 2 or 3 trophies you will be declared a winner and will receive the reward.
** If you have 0 or 1 trophies you could abuse your title to declare yourself a winner with [Evil-only] or [Chaotic-only] choices, it unlocks [[Special Encounter (Embeth Travelers)]]. Or just let Embeth Travelers keep the reward to themselves.
* After that the [[Servant]] will explode and [[Ferocious Owlbear]] will burst out of his body. After the owlbear is defeated your envoy will engage in dialogue where you get to choose:
** (Chaotic Good) or (Chaotic Neutral) to reveal the information about disease to the populace.
** (Lawful Neutral) or (Lawful Evil) to hide the information about the disease to prevent the panic.
* The decision will have consequences for [[Unrest in the Streets]] event and minor consequence for [[Mother of Monsters]] quest.

===Wait for the royal council to gather===
* This objective is completed on Day 255, 260 days until [[An Ancient Curse, Part Three|AAC3]] during a [[Throne room events#Monster Invasion|Monster Invasion]] event.
