"Oh, don't worry about that, Mihai. The militia, at least, won't have any hangups with killing them if they bother, after all this is our job, we're with the You-Know-Who's. If killing is out of bounds to them, we could accept the condition of capture-only at the negotiating table with the militia and the Hunter, but that's getting too far ahead. I honestly I don't know much about these 'Hunters'. What are they, bounty hunters? Freelance animal control squad?"

Lomner hesitates for a second, but finally concedes and leans towards Steve.

"That's all I ask, sir. Actually, I'm not supposed to tell you this but part of the reason my companions and I went this way was so I could check up on you and the family. She wanted to make sure you guys are okay. So how about it, how is everything?"

Steve smiles back. "Heh, I'll do that. Actually, I'm supposed to put this all in a letter and send it off. If I wrote it would you mind mailing it with your other dispatches? No wait." Steve starts laughing, "Let's send it with your own mail! Can you imagine her face when she sees my letter in there with yours? She'll probably be in a huff for a week!"

Continuing to laugh Steve says, "Oh yes. I learned a long time ago that there is no sense in lying to women. They always suss it out and that goes double for your daughter. By putting my letter in with yours, she'll realize what I did and be quite sore with me. But by the time I see her again she will have had time to calm down and see the sense in it."

"Don't I know it. But she didn't plan on me in the first place and I see no reason to change that record yet." Steve stands up and puts out his hand to shake, "Let me introduce myself sir. My name is Steve Oldturn and Zelky's my fiancee."

He places special emphasis on "Zelky," so that Lomnar knows its a nickname the two "lovers" share.

The mage is momentarily taken aback by Lomnar's generosity and a pain of guilt momentarily manifests in his heart. It passes quickly. "I don't even know what to say. Thank you so much Lomnar!" He claps the innkeeper on the back and revels in a happiness he's never known.

Steve will drink a few toasts but will beg off the impromptu party before he's drunk citing his work trip for the Coins but in reality wanting to write that letter to his "fiancee" before sleep.

He'll compose the following message in the equivalent of reverse-Stoikotita:

My dearest Zelky,

I hope this note finds you well. My time with your family was a great joy and I composed this poem in recompense for my little deception.

Insert terrible lewd poem about Zelk here.
Poem Highlights:
-Uses the Stoikotita language for glorified smut.
-Makes up new uses for pre-existing Stoikotita words that would be clever in any other circumstance.
-Follows three different meters in two diametrically opposed styles with no rhyme or reason.
-Compares her body to several nonsensical objects such as her butt with a shoehorn and how that is the sexiest thing ever for reasons.
-Ends with a shout out to all the professors that were kind enough to teach him Stoikotita in the first place.
-If you isolate the first letter of every line it spells out: "There is nothing sexier than a smart and driven woman. Won't the Queen of Ice give this poor man a chance to melt her heart?"

Oh yeah, that was hot. I hope that was as good for you as it was for me.

Your Loving Fiance,
Steve Oldturn

(I'll take 20 on my Perform check to get that poem perfect.)

bye-bye, note:

"Well, anything's premature at this point." - Mihai concedes.

TEMPORAL REWIND ACTIVATE

Previous night, Steve's big engagement party.

Very innocently, Mihai says to himself.

"So THAT's how i could have slept for free at every inn!"

The party goes on for a while, and Lomner is more than happy to share with Steve a few stories about Zelk, including some that are pretty embarrassing, such as when she was nine years old and chased a chicken around the courtyard, wearing nothing more than her underwear.

Then morning comes, and Steve must leave the comfort of his damn near luxurious bed. His new father-in-law makes sure he has enough food to last three days though, and wish him well on his travels. He and Zelk better not delay the marriage for too long; he cannot wait to see his grandchildren.

Steve will file those stories away in his mind for later use and laugh in faux-embarrassment at his "future father-in-law's" suggestions of grandchildren. After leaving the letter with Lomnar and wishing him well, he will join the conversation already in progress with his comrades about their plans.

Just as the sun is rising above the horizon, the hunter appears at the edge of the forest, less than fifty meters away from the three of you. She looks the same as yesterday; a young red-haired woman with short hair who is wearing loose pants and a shirt under a tightened up leather armor, with a green cloak above it to presumably conceal her presence if necessary. The way she carries her bow on her back makes it clear she's not to be messed around with. She approaches your group at a steady pace, until she finally stops right in front of Mihai. She glances for a second at the mages, holds her stare a little too long on Konrad's armband, then sharply says:

"Hello."

She pulls down her hood and reveals what would be best described as a delicate face, if not for the long scar on the left side of her neck which contrasts heavily with her overall lithe appearance. Something sharp caused that, and it is so apparent that it's easy to ignore her tomboyish looks which might confuse other people as to what her gender is, until they examine her more closely. The few freckles on her face make the scar seem even more grim.

"So, have you made your decision?"

Mihai speaks up. His demeanor is plain when dealing with her, without the practiced courtesy of up until now.

"We talked, and are willing. Especially given..." - he checks himself for a second - "The task. But we have our own errand we're on right now, and time is an issue."

She deliberates something, then asks for a clarification: "What kind of issue is it exactly? And where will it take you?"

"Not far from Waterglass. Just the outskirts, from what we know." - he makes sure no one's eavesdropping before continuing - "A band has stolen an item of some importance, that our employers want back, plus the group neutralized." - he explains, matter-of-factly - "By any means." - he adds, rather grimmly.

The hunter seems to have a flash of hindsight by the way she raises her eyebrows.

"Oh, them." She crosses her arms, then adds astutely: "I've been monitoring their presence since they appeared in the ruins of the empire's old outpost three days ago. They've done nothing to disturb Waterglass, so we've left them alone, but we know they're thugs."

She gives you a sly smile.

"So you're going to neutralize the eight of them?"

Steve's ears perk up at the mention of eight thugs. "Yes, that's correct Miss Fedler. What else can you tell us about them?"

Mihai can't suppress a chuckle.

"Actually, i thought maybe i could throw some rabid animal at them." - he says, (half) in jest - "Or at least try and get some advantage from the element of surprise or the terrain, - he who holds the land can conquer heaven, and whatnot. But truth be told, only now did i know their number, and it's quite a bit higher than we were told. Symmetrically, it's not much of a fight; we'll definitely have to improvise."

She thinks carefully on what she is going to say.

"I can tell you more about these thugs other than how many there are. But this information isn't free."

The hunter gauges the three of you.

"I know you're in it for money, and our village has some. But what you need on this errand of yours is support. I'm a hunter, my friend is a mage; so you scratch our back and we'll scratch yours. And we'll still pay you, even if it's a little less than what you would get if we didn't join you on your little expedition."

For all of you:
