Just a note that Arno does not possess magical skills as he has yet to purchase it through the regain. We understand he came to Kaisou with magical books from Eachddraidh, but we also are aware that in order for that magic to work - Arno would need to regain his shard. So as of this time, we will not be counting any magical skill towards the quest results.
UNFORTUNATELY, Y'ALL ROLLED A NAT 1 ANYWAY.
What could possibly go wrong when two men from time periods before anyone really knew dinosaurs were a thing decide to go and try to find a dinosaur? A whole lot, it turns out! They start off on this magical adventure, in search of a great horned creature! Their Eagle Vision does occasionally flash up gold, but given they're going by the vaguest of ideas of what they're actually looking for, it goes to hell pretty quickly. First, they follow a trail of chewed-up flowers, the footprints left are pretty big- is that their triceratops?!! No. It's a cow that escaped Stardew. They trail some frat boys who swear down "no, seriously, dudes, we TOTALLY saw your lizard thing!!!!" they follow this lead to the entertainment district - is that their triceratops?!!! No. It's a dude in a Barney costume who immediately starts a fistfight with them when they descend on top of him. The police are called. Children cry. Finally, beaten and exhausted, they follow a lead that promises not only a reptile but it has HORNS!! And it's big...ish - is that their triceratops?!! No. It's a chameleon in the local pet shop. But the guys figure one horned reptile is as good as any, right? You can decide if they steal the lizard or buy it like good citizens (and have the shopkeep sell a bunch of reptile-keeping supplies along with it, wow they're expensive!!). Regardless, once they arrive at the zoo with the chameleon, they can see the keepers already pushing the triceratops back into the pen. Is that their triceratops??!! Yes. But they didn't find it so the zoo keepers send them on the way. One of them got a pet chameleon out of this though!
While rooting around for the triceratops, you triggered a curse. Unfortunately for them, they rolled a 6 so they ended up with two curses for the price of one. They both get: Butterfingers (can't hold onto anything) and Animal ears/tail - these curses can be permanent or last for a week. To make matters worse, for their terrible failure the NPCs of Kaisou have given them titles. Some will whisper these behind their back, while most will just call it straight to their faces. Arno is known as Fancy Frenchie and Edward is known as Clumsy Corsair. They are often said with a snigger. If they ever order coffee, that title will be put on the cup with a stupid smiley face doodled next to it. This will never go away.
