《Debts Come Due!》Day-5 A Hunting We Will Go.

"So we are going to head into the forest and take on wolves right? What all are we going to... Say I never caught you name friend" Stated Sasha coming to the realization.

"Smithy. Everone calles me Smithy on account of me always going to the forges to make or request parts be made to order."

'Why made to order?' Sasha thought in her head.

"Talking out loud again, and because he needs them to be ezact when launching blast potions around so that they do not break before hitting the target."

"Please don't call me out on it like that Tea, have a little mercy."

"NEVER!"

"Teamasa has never had any mercy in her heart. Don't go asking the river to run in the sky and you wont be dissapointed. Don't ask a Dragon to cry and you wont be left waiting for an eternity. Take that from old smithy here and you will get far in this life."

"That's cool so you got any sleeping poison which is a gass? We will need to hit the wolves when they are traped in the air. Tea can you trap them with a spell given a chance with a clear line of sight. I will creat the opening with some Holy Light to blind them at the right time."

"It sounds like a better plan then to hit them until they die to me. What inspired you to come up with such a brilliant masterwork of a plan anyways?" Asked Smithy.

"A little thing that I like to call not being stupid or inept at what you do for a living. Brillant I know, right. Just do not tell anyone else that I said that or we might just step of a few toes you know."

Finishing up their drinks they decide to tackle the request before it gets dark so that they will catch the wolves when they least expect it. We do it right and we get the pelts undamaged with no muss and no fuss.

'Over the hills and through the woods, to grandma's house we go.'

"Stop singing Sasha you suck at it. How can you be that tone deaf."

"Well excuse me Smithy but we half-elves are naturally good at singing so it must be your ears that are tone deaf."

"It is not his ears I will assure you of that."

"Shut up Teamasa, no one asked you so there." Grouched Sasha.

"What ever you say princess, what ever you say. It does not matter anymore though, we are here so lets set up our ambush and take them out. It will be 15 wolves if I am counting the track right. Their eyes are going to be adjusting and wolves ears are always sensitive so worst case we toss out some bang potions and hit them when they are disorientated." Teamasa planed out for everone.

"Lets try the plan that does not involve hearing loss first and for most but always keep a back up plan after all if you fail to plan, you plan to fail."

"Well they ladys lets get ready and go from there. I will hit some of the trees with a defoliant and that will give us a clear line of sight. Tea get ready and make sure you cast the right spells. Wolves are pack hunters so be sure to know that for everyone that you see there is three more waiting to ambush you. Be ready for it!"

"No problem, besides I can heal myself. Suck at healing other people for some reason but I can heal myself better then a master Paladin. Never knew why."

"What happens if you try to heal someone else?" Asked Teamasa, "Do they get hurt or something."

"No but that would be cool, they just do not heal right. Fleash twist and becomes scartissue so that future healing is even harder. It is just like poisoning someone to keep them from dying, not advised but better then the alternative that is for sure."

"Good to know, do not heal me unless I am going to die. Please and thank you." Tea and Smithy said together.

"No problem guys. Here they come so lets get ready, just hit the entire area with the sleep stuff and I will be OK. I always heal from anything that does not kill me. Usefull for the whole not dying thing if I do say so myself."

"Stop boasting and get ready for them and count damn you count or I will put my green foot up you ass."

"Ready Magical Chains in three, two, one, NOW. Sleep NOW." Shouted Sasha blocking a wolf leaping at her throut. Twisting to dodge another one when it get caught in mid air.

The world turns purple and she cant help but start to yawn. Lay on Hands! Why that only works on me I can't help but wonder.

Looking up and seeing a bunch of wolves hanging from the sky is impresive but we know how many are there and now is no time to get careless. Fifteen and three pups which can be trained as guard dogs. Now just to put down the adults and make this area of the forest safer to travel through.

On our way back to town with three fluffy pups to be sold to an beast tamer we decide to talk about who ese we should get to be on our side.

"I was thinking that we should get a ranger to go along with us and a healer of some kind. We will need to find a warlock as well for various reasons that we can go into later." Said Sasha.

"Also in case you did not know I am a warlock of the Lady of Bargins so if you ever want to make a few deals for anything I can do so on your behalf. Wont even have to sell your soul or anything. Just do favors for favors and make it worth my time."

Smithy concidering this for a moment and then asks "So if I happened to know this kid that was actually a demon lord born on the mortal plane, would you be willing to make a deal to kill him. Asking for a friend."

"The price would be high but no one enters the ladys service without being prepared to get their hands a little dirty for whatever cause they support. Our Lady does not take sides on anything so she is just as likely to have put that same demon lord on this plane in the first place."

"Your Lady sound evil to me." Said Tea after some thought.

"Maybe but she never takes sides. Her creed is to 'do as thou wilt', to never be controlled by anyone. She does not care what you do so long as you do it and always pay your debt at the end. Never leave a tab open and never dash from a payment. Subvert it all you want but never do anything forsake it."

"Well miss unchained I would request that you help a mate of mine. You up for it or are you going to sit out." Asked smithy after pondering over that for a moment.

'I can arrange for help to come and do whatever needs doing. It wont be easy or cheap but the entire plane wont be burned into a new form of hell. I just don't have to like it.'

"I will make a few inquiries and see what comes of it."

"Thanks. I know that it is dirty work that only a madman would like doing but thanks."

'Lets hit the guild first and then the beast tamers. Make a little money and look for the rest of the team.'

"Sounds like a plan to me how about you Smithy."

"I am down for it, not a bad haul when it is all put together."

Walking into the guild each holding a pup they notice that someone imedantly looks at them. He is oddly tall and smells of nature. Holding a staff and with a bow on his back he can't help but be enamored with the pups.

After going up to the counter and getting paid for the request along with selling the pelts from the wolves the three go over to a table to discuss if anyone knows a good beast tamer. They want the pups to have a good home because of how much they have come to adore the little tikes."

"Why hello there how are you today. Such a good girl with such nice fur. Oh how cute you are." The stranger said clearly talking to the wolf.

"Excuse me but please leave my animal alone."

"Why, she does not have a problem with me petting her so why should I care what you think."

Sasha thinks on that for all of a second and decides that she kind of like the strange man whom she suspects is a druid. "If you would be willing to join the party all three would be yours to train and teach. What do you say to that?"

"I'm in what do we do? Will need to know where we are going in advance by three days at least but sure. Names Tess by the by."
