The Tabaxi Sisters

Leafspitter, Rootchaser, and Potsticker collectively make up The Tabaxi Sisters. This group of wandering Tabaxi are foragers that travel through the jungle of Quai Thu. They are always on the search for new components that could be used in their next brew and will happily trade with anyone who has ingredients. Since they are rarely in one place and almost never in more civilized areas, they almost exclusively barter rather than take any sort of coinage.
On the surface they seem friendly and giving, however they are quite prone to mischief and discord. Often, they will test their new alchemical brews on unsuspecting traders and Welcome Tasks was no exception.

Previous Encounters with Welcome Tasks

The party was journeying from the Cascade Trading Post to Gnoll Bane when they came across the Tabaxi Sisters’ encampment. The women were more than happy to trade good as well as offer the party a place to camp alongside their hut. They were gracious hosts, preparing Welcome Tasks and the surveying crew a hardy stew, gossiping about the locals in the jungle, and even batted a few eyelashes at Melkor before everyone settled for the night. Late in the evening, Welcome Tasks awoke to grotesque Otaugs rampaging around the camp. The beasts themselves were not too difficult to defeat, but the party was disheartened as they pieced together that these monsters were former travels polymorphism by the stew The Tabaxi Sisters fed them. The sisters themselves were nowhere to be found after the fight with the Otaugs and even their hut had simply vanished.
Probably the most troubling part of the party’s encounter that evening was that during the meal, Slayer had pulled a lark on Melkor, claiming that the Tiefling was romantically interested in one of the sisters. Alone, Melkor attempted to explain the miscommunication, but not before Potsticker made a move on him, grabbing and trying to kiss him. While an awkward situation(for all involved), Melkor was able to talk his way out of the situation with his dignity mostly intact. However, once away from Potsticker, the tiefling noticed a few of his hairs had been pulled during the “loving embrace”. It was unclear at the time if this was an accident or intentional, but after the fact, it is clear no good could come from the Tabaxi Sisters having part of Melkor's person.
