*Although the meat looked like it would be a joy to eat, it was rather late... And Amsu had already eaten a meal at the inn he departed from to go on this journey. A shame, really, so maybe he could give his share to the dog? It seemed to like what was on the plate a lot, and it would be nice to get on it's good side. He knew it would be bad manners to pass this up... Yet he genuinely didn't want to eat.*

"Forgive me, but I've already eaten before I got here. I have no ill intentions, but I am quite full already... Perhaps the dog can have my share?"

*Amsu went up to the table and sat down, taking the piece of parchment that had caught his eye from under the plate. He intended to read this after everyone finished their meals, waiting for a response from the lady... Or any of the other guests, if they wanted seconds.*

Gabriel placed a hand over his heart and bowed to granny. "Ah, forgive me for jumping to conclusions. But, thank you for your hospitality, grandma." He walked over and seated himself. It would be rude to deny granny's kindness, wouldn't it? Still, he first cut out a small chunk and tossed it to his Vulk, who snapped the meat chunk right out the air. He chuckles and took a bite himself.

He did notice the piece of parchment as he went in for a bite. Gabriel slid the piece out from under his plate, setting it to the side so he can read it. Seems like quite a few things were written on there, but Mother always said to keep your mouth shut while chewing. He'll have to be content with letting out an inquisitive hum with a curious glance at granny instead.

Dracul didn't talk and followed what the other's were doing and sat down. "Thank you for the food granny " He said softly as he took a small bite.
Roselle
She waited while they consumed their sustenance. She sat down on a generic wooden rocking chair, making some torches for the group. They were decent torches! Treated wood... Decent steel holder... And of course, the fuel. A a pig fat covered cloth stuck in the steel holder. These would prove to be useful in the dungeon. 

But she wasn't really able to do much to them yet. They were still eating and Granny just sat there... Making the torches... Even if they were able to see in the dark!
Karen
*Dracul observed the granny with the corner of his eyes. "Thanks for making those torches. But I think we should start going? " He said with a can voice. As calm as he can sound. Honestly he was getting impatient. He came here for the rewards, who cares about food and other stuffs. Besides there's 99% chance this food might be poisoned, that is why he just took one bite.
James
*Amsu decided to just start reading the parchment. It was clear that this lady just didn't want to say anything, which is likely why she put it on parchment in the first place. It did start worrying him, however, because if she was being this secretive with the information... There was no telling what they were going to be told to do. This felt way more like they were about to assassinate a noble, not dive into a dungeon to give a old lady some nostalgia.*

*Amsu's nervousness could be seen through his body language, as his tails had been slowly lowering to rest underneath him and his ears begun drooping against the top of his own head. He had prepared himself to read whatever was on the parchment, so he begun to now read it to himself.*
Dominique
While they were all sat around waiting, Gabriel kept on munching until his plate was clean. Though to be fair, his Vulk did eat a little more than half of what's on it. Gabriel's gaze leaves the parchment, having finished reading what was on it, and scanned the faces of his companions for this mission. He does notice they're starting to get antsy, so he calmly put the dishes away and turns to granny.

"Thank you for the meal. But, I agree. Perhaps we should leave soon. Which way are we going?"
Roselle
"Well, you may follow a path down the road. There is only one way! Just keep going the same direction you were going. There are big amounts of bandits you see? I wouldn't want you all to get injured yes? Everything else should be self explanatory. Path. Door. Lock. Break lock. Enter. Simple. 

I will follow along a bit behind as to... Not get killed. I am quite fragile! Probably easily broken with a well aimed sword to the face"

She said, standing up with a loud audible crack. She was hunched over, requiring a cane to move around. Typical! On the floor, there were 3 torches! The player is free to take them
James
*Amsu sighed to himself, after all that waiting and tension she just got up and explained something that could have been told to them right as they saw each other? Whatever, he supposed... No need to get upset at an elder over something that trivial. He would get up to follow the lady, placing the parchment in his little satchel as he walked over to the door.*

"I can lead the way, if that's alright with all of you. I can see in the dark quite well compared to most people, so I won't need a torch."

*Amsu turned back and faced the group, his hand resting on the handle of the front door. His tails swayed below his waist rather slowly, coiling with each other to look like one long twisted piece of black fur... His ears having perked, since he was getting ready to be serious with this quest.*

Gabriel also had night vision, so being in the dark won't be much of an obstacle for him. But the parchment did mention puzzles, and what if those puzzles were color based? Color is the only thing he can't see in the dark, so a torch would come in handy in that case. He takes a torch and slips it into his belt.

With some deliberation, seeing as they're now getting ready to leave, he supposes having some extra fire power would be nice. With a flourish, he draws glowing red sigils across the air. Those more familiar with summoning circles may see it's similar to a wolf, yet different. Upon completion, the circle's interior flashes red and a wolf steps out of it. It is identical to the Vulk accompanying Gabriel since the beginning, but this one bore green feathers on its collar. He pats it and sends it over to granny.

"Granny, I hope you don't mind the boys? This one will stay with you and hopefully help keep you safe."
Roselle
"Yeah no, most definitely not. I love them. So cute. But yes, I'm fine with them!"

She said, reaching out her shaky hands to give them a pat. She wants to pat it. Let old gran gran pat the doggo. Please :c
Dominique
With some stern telepathic talking to and slight glare, the green collared Vulk sat and let itself be pet. It's even nudging granny's hand with its muzzle!
Roselle
The granny practically fan girled over the thing, giving it all the loving pats on spots she thinks they would enjoy. She was very gentle as she tends to have really shaky hands, but she still enjoyed the patting and fluffing! 

"Oh my boy, I would adopt you any day of my life!"
Karen
Dracul would pick up a torch. Just in case, you never know what might be helpful. As everyone walked dracul followed them without a word. He was already a little annoyed as this seemed like a picnic then a quest.
Dominique
The big lug leaned in more and more into granny's pats. Its tail even started wagging lightly with all the babying and pampering. This Vulk will stay near granny as much as possible.

Gabriel follows Amsu out. The other Vulk, the one with a blue collar, follows him at his heel. It is alert, acting like a proper guard dog.

`Forgot to say before, but Gabriel cast Ognen Vulk for 40 Mana and Mana cap. He is now at 80 Mana capped at the same amount.`
Roselle
Granny sadly wouldn't follow, waving off the doggo to the group. She would follow later. Or would she? She was obviously starting to get weak, her hands being so fragile. It would be understandable why she wouldn't want to follow them now when she could just as easily die.

Anyways, as they walked out and followed the trail, they would enter a forest. It was pitch black, only the people with dark sight being able to see. Non-Darksight people would hear the cracks of branches, creaking and clicking of the various creatures in the forest. It was honestly unsettling. The darksight people would be able to see just about every creature in the forest staring at them. Maybe they were hungry... Maybe they saw the wolves as food.

But it they would soon be able to hear chatter of men in the distance. It wasn't even soft. They were really loud, probably even yelling. But they sounded like they were having some good ol' banter! But it was quite... Not so good. They obviously sounded armed. Their weapons clinking and clankging together. 

They were only a turn away from facing the first adversaries... Unless they decided to do the flank! But wouldn't their torches give them away? They wouldn't know... The forest simply was too thick
