- Fixed a bug that causes Rhea's completion dialogue for 'Beginnings of a Bestiary' quest to not trigger.

Just wanted to add that I'm sorry for the pretty bugged 'Beginnings of a Bestiary' quest in the recent patches - after trying to fix one of the rarer bugs for it in a previous patch, I've introduced some instability/issues to that quest in particular. Hopefully v0.13.13 fixes the quest properly this time.

Thank you so much for your bug reports and patience!!

- Fixed a bug that causes Rhea to give the player a creature pen again.
- Fixed a bug that causes Rhea's dialogue for the creature pen to override the purple heart cutscene, leading to the cutscene not working properly.

Thank you very much for your bug report and patience!
