>Adler: They've organized this quickly? Aren't they still feuding with the shoe cult?
>Oak: They were, The Rabbits gained the upper hand quickly. Lady Hawke hired a bunch of armed mercenaries. The rabbits have pulled back and are now guarding the forest to deprive the shoe cultists of the stone circle inside, but since the shoe cultists never had an interest with the forest to begin with, the conflict has moved to a standstill.
you need to learn more about them, what they believe and how they are organised.
>You'll need to tzlk to the wanabe 'evil witch' young rabbit you recruited in your ranks
hire a trained assassin to take out the head of the rabbit cult or a important prophet
I'm pretty sure the shoe cult was almost entirely killed in the previous batlle

"The rabbits have organized this quickly?" I asked in alarm. "Aren't they still feuding with the shoe cult?"

"They were," Oak replied. "But that didn't last long since the shoe cultists are a bunch of incompetent weenies. Their numbers were decimated and they fell back to Percysthorpe, where Lady Hawke hired a group of mercenaries to protect what was left of them. The rabbits were not interested in pursuing, and they seem to be afraid of actually entering the forest now, so they've established tight patrols of the perimeter to deny the shoe cult entry. But since Jerry's people were never interested in this place to begin with, it has turned out to be a new problem for us instead."

"Blast!" I exclaimed. "I can't figure out these rabbits. I need somebody to tell me all about their belief system and how they are organized. I probably should have a talk with what's her name, that witch we recruited last time."

"Rebecca," Oak reminded me. "It will be difficult getting her here, because of the patrols .. not to mention Rebecca's utter dread of meeting anyone from her old home."

"Maybe we could hire an assassin," I mused, thinking out loud. "To take out their leader or prophet or whatever."

"All of the local talent is currently employed by Lady Hawke," Vernier pointed out.

First things first, question Oak about her Uncle Ash.

"Well, let's wait on that then," I sighed. "The primary reason I needed you to come here is because I need to know more about your Uncle Ash. Tell me about him."

"Well, he's terribly mysterious."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute," Vernier interrupted. "I think I came out here with false expectations. I was told that this elf lord was looking for skunk femmes, but it turned out he only needed an administrative assistant. He's small and dainty, dressed in a decadent green satin suit, and is the leader of a cult of hairdressers. Now he's alone in the middle of the woods with two beautiful femmes, and all he wants to talk about is your mysterious uncle. What exactly is going on here?"

"Hmm," Oak pondered. "I see what you mean. Mind you, I'm not complaining - but it is a bit suspicious."
