Firestone Hot Springs how to feel the heat

While he was scouting out the Plateau anyway — where he'd unfortunately found nothing of note — Cicero decided to make his way through the hot springs while he journeyed further to the west. He was unable to pass through Neverwinter Forest, finding that it now held a claim, and so Cicero decided to instead travel along the hot springs. And while he was here, perhaps some relaxation was in order.

There was another wolf there, a female. The scent of Malice wafted towards him even across the comforting, steamy scent of the springs, and Cicero chuffed to announce his presence to her. "Wolf of Malice," Cicero called out to her and he trotted towards her, quickening his pace somewhat. She looked tired, or perhaps she was simply preparing for the delightful hot water to sink into. "May Cicero join in relaxation?" Malice intrigued him and so her wolves did too. There was a mischievous sparkle in Cicero's eyes and a charismatic smile on his face, and he hoped that she would say yes and that they could sink into the warmth of a pool of water together soon. So focussed on her was he that Cicero did not even notice the third wolf that was headed straight towards them.
