Mystery of the Magical Squirrel

Salutations friends, allies.
A most peculiar happening today. As I was fighting off several beasts threatening to the invade the city, Lady Kyla Mossmere appeared to me and tasked me with a quest!
T'would appear an arcane-charged Squirrel had run rampart east of the city, blasting all manner of fireballs, evards tentacles and death spells! I was also informed of the investigative work of the Paladin Byron and the Bard Elora in tracking down this Squirel. I was sent to find them immediately and see what they found.
Here is my preliminary report: Magical Nuts. Hazel, to be exact. Were found in the vicinity of the Squirrel in question, within the Forest of Eyes. I was given several of them by the Paladin Byron and, after much deliberation, tested them with the most thorough and practiced research protocols this side of the Dragonmere.
After consuming one, I found myself imbued with magical properties. Stoneskin, a Ghostly Visage, a resistance to harm! And I was also turned to a statue for a period of time with no hope in turning back but I believe my will power was enough to overcome this burden and turn back to flesh!
These findings indicate a flux in the weave, one which appears to develop strange oddities in natures bounty within. I have decided to take on this case further than these preliminary findings, and will lead a research team into the forests as soon as I am able to find the place.
