*Kilitcha's cart slowly rolls on through the wilds, the Qua gingerly playing her harp with her upper hands and driving the cart with her lower pair. Her crossbow, cocked and ready, rests next to her, alongside her pike and shield. She's ready for a fight, but doesn't let that stop her from gingerly singing along.*
"We're looking for Laaa~dy Yasmine 🎵 
Lady Yasmine, where is she?
Where looking for her in the fooo~rest 🎵 
Maybe we'll find her behind a tree?"
Gloria
*Meanwhile Kibaru was sleeping. The reason he had blood was due to a recent hunt that took some out of him, maybe he should have asked for an energy drink or something*
Craig
*The forest you two are entering is normally filled with sunbeams and singing birds, as well as all kinds of animals. Normally this would be a loud part of it, but it is quiet. No birds are singing their songs, no animals are talking with each other. As soon as you enter deeper into the the forest started to get darker and darker, not even a single cold breeze went through it. Something must have scared the animals in here. Also soon the damaged wagon appeared in front of you two and is heavily damaged.*

*A man was laying dead at the wagons side, his face frozen in fear. The wagon, with a closer look, had normally bars in that big window. So someone who can calculate 1+1 should know that this was actually a prisoner transfer. But the prisoner was missing and left only a note.* ``Catch me if you can`` *Was written on it and laying on the destroyed wheel.*
Willard
"...Oh dear." *Remarks Kilitcha as she spots the scene, putting her harp down. She stops Liklik, who in turn appears quite tense in this situation. Then, she grabs her pike, and gives Kibaru a poke in the head with its butt.*
"Found something, and it's pretty ugly."
Gloria
*Kibaru would jump passed her just as she spoke. He checked the man's pulse and for any possible sign of his death and how long ago. He had actually picked up on this allot earlier, but he though it was still him.*

*He then stared at the note* "If the one we're searching for killed this man with no reason then I guess I won't be receiving any rewards"
Willard
"Whaaat." *States Kilitcha, quite disapproving of the idea of not getting potions.* "I still want my potion." *She says, putting her pike aside once more. She takes a moment to summon a Spirit Wolf, which swiftly hops down to the ground and goes to give the wagon a sniff.*
Craig
*This man died recently, the body is still warm. Though there were now signs of a brutal murder. Only the face had an extreme expression of fear. Though the body had a weird scent. A mixture of mold and something else, a fruity and sweet scent to be precise. Also a hint of roses mixed into it. The spirit wolf though should be able to get the scent and would follow it, sniffing the ground to follow the trail. There was another note on the body though.* ``Jump back or you are dead`` *Signed with a happy face winking face on it. A click sound came from dead guard, and with that a whistling sound followed it. It was an arrow on the way, aiming for Kibaru's shoulder when he isn't jumping back in time.*
Gloria
*Kibaru would easily catch the arrow out of the air, to him this was an armature's trap. He then took out his Katana and slowly pushed it though the man's heart, then his head* "May the gods safely lead you to the ancestral grounds" 

*He then walked into the direction with an angry expression. He didn't even notice the spirt wolf and forgot about Th young woman and his mask and coat back on the wagon*
Willard
*...Kilitcha just sort of watches this man do his thing. Then, swiftly grabs her armaments, hops onto Liklik, and unfastens his straps, taking a moment to look at the cart's surroundings, embedding them into her memory. Finding her way back shouldn't be too hard, as she's been trained to do so. She's more worried about the dead body attracting something that might hurt her horse.
She charges on forwards, following the spirit wolf, keeping a few feet's distance behind it just for safety.*
Craig
*The dead body disappeared as soon as both Kibaru and Kilitcha turned their back to it. Only a stuffed animal was left on the ground. **Kibaru** Meanwhile would find the simple trap, it was only some sticks and some extremely thing but strong rope, used to shoot the arrow. But it was destroyed while doing its deed. **Kilitcha ** Should soon notice that her horse is getting extremely nervous and stopped moving, almost frozen from fear. Again there were no animals around, not even the usual predators. But both of them could hear something soon.* "Oh it seems someone is here to play with me. Please go on and try to catch me. But think of something first. Are you the hunter or the hunted?" *It was nothing but an echo in the quiet forest and ended with a giggle.*
Gloria
"Bitch, I'm always the hunter. And now you've became my prey" *He said getting even more angry at the echo*
Willard
*Kilitcha gives a quick glance around, looking through the forest with her keen eyes and darkvision. Gives Liklik a quick few pets.* "There there old boy..."
*She'd hop off of him, and look towards the spirit wolf, clicking her mandibles. Telling it to slow down, and warn her if it smells anything coming.
With Liklik's lead in her lower right hand, her crossbow in her upper two hands, and her trusty dagger in her lower left, she keeps on following the wolf.*
"Hey, uhm, the potion man sent us. He said he wanted to meet you... I think. Are you lady Yasmine?"

*Currently following the scent.*

*Kilitcha is quite doubtful of the note beneath the log. Seeing how there already was a trap earlier... She'd tell the Spirit Wolf to pause, wait for her and watch her back. Her swift eyes would carefully look around for traps as she approaches the log, the insectoid carefully watching her step. Then, once within reach, she'd put her crossbow away, grab her pike once more, and give the log a poke. Then, finally, if that fails to trigger anything... Take a hand off her pike and grab the note, and read it. Keeping on guard.*

*...She'd let Liklik's lead go in the process, not wanting to drag him to a possible trap.*
Craig
*The log was just a log for a second longer, until it was crushed from a heavy beartrap like construct out of metal. The note was send flying into the air from the impact, and splinters flying around. So it should be easy for her to grab the paper out of the air, since only the pike triggered trap.* ``Never leave the herd on your own. It could always be your last adventure. Follow the path.`` *A kissing and winking face was drawn beneath the note. Though finally a small breeze went through the forest, giving off an extreme and even for normal noses scent. The wolf would follow it and Kilitcha could see small footsteps on the ground.*
Gloria
*Kibaru shot the body through the head* "I did sense it, just thought I would humor you. You do seem full of yourself for a coward"
Willard
*Kilitcha's quite relieved by her little maneuver's success, and snatches the note and reads it. Deciding to heed its advice, she casts another Spirit Wolf, and goes to swiftly grab Liklik and move closer to Kibaru. The two wolves would watch their flanks for now, now that KIlitcha has a track to follow.* "Ah the arrogance of youth..." *Follow the track she would, switching to her crossbow once more.*
Craig
"Oh the big boy thinks he is good. Than answer me one question. Why are you killing innocent people? You stabbed someone who was looking like dead to you. You shot the other person through the head, without even checking the body." *The voice got clear on their way, though the wolves are starting to show signs of a possible threat. The shot person also transformed into a stuffed animal, as soon as they were far away from it. The path soon showed something like an entrance to a huge clearing in the forest. Animals were gathered around a pond and in the middle of it was a small woman. From the looks not taller than 160cm and slim. Her back had roses tattooed on it, and was heavily covered in scars.* "Calling yourself a hunter is nothing but a joke." *The voice of the woman was soft, her hair like silk. The feet of her in the water of the pond. The animals were close to the woman, but had fear in their eyes.* "Now let us begin the game." *Yasmin laughed a little, and turned her head sideways to look at Kibaru and Kilitcha with a smile on her face.*
Willard
*...Something tells Kilitcha that that's the woman they're looking for. Hunter's instinct, perhaps, or maybe just her observational skills. Certainly looks like the kind of shady, magically-inclined woman a shady alchemist would send them to look for.*
"...The potionmaker told us to not get violent." *Despite that remark, Kilitcha summons yet another Spirit Wolf, bringing her up to a whole pack. They're on high alert, just waiting for an attack.
She draws her tower shield, holding it in her lower right hand. Something tells her this is going to get ugly.*
Gloria
"The only joke was that I though you were actually worthy enough to be called my prey. Unlike you I actually know what it is to hunt" *He said discussed with her, blood starting to drip from his hands*
Willard
*Kilitcha opens her mandibles to make a remark about how, technically speaking, she's a trained hunter from a tribe that very much valued such things, but...
...Just sort of gives up on trying to reason with these weird people rambling about prey and predators and other such things. She's not a philosopher.*
Craig
"Such big words. Then tell me oh mighty "Hunter"..." *She couldn't resist a short giggle, and held a hand in front of her mouth for a second.* "Tell me one thing. Why are you still moving into my traps like a blind and disorientated lamb? You know nothing, but that is fine. You can get angry as much as you want, but that isn't helping you. Now, what are you going to do hmm? You should listen to the old bugger in his wagon and to this woman." *Yasmin started to walk towards them with a bright smile. Her hands were on her back, and her eyes started to give out a blue glow. The whole clearing was filling with magical energy, slowly but steady moving towards this woman. The wolves would go wild, started to loudly growl at her and showing their teeth. The bodies of them are getting tense, while the other animals fled into the forest.* "So what are you going to do? Attacking me, and forcing me. Or do you actually listen to others." *The tattoo on her back started to glow in the same blue, sadly that was hidden from Kilitcha's and Kibarus eyes. Also they started to open up, and lines slowly build on her body, visible on her arms.* 

"You don't know who I am. You know nothing about me and still you think you can beat me? Jokes all over the place little puppy." *Yasmin stopped moving and looked at them. Gosh her whole body was excited about all of this and she let out a long and satisfied sigh.* "Now do your moves, show me what you are made of. He wants the judgment and he can get it, but everything has a price. It is so nice from him to send two of you to me." *Even her voice was filled with excitement.*
Willard
"...Well I, for my part, heard plenty. If you don't want to come, I'm not supposed to force you, so if you don't mind me I'll just, uhm...
...You want to kill us, don't you?" *The Qua asks, sounding less fearful and more resigned. The wolves stand on attention, ready to pounce and on high alert, but without any snarling.*
"I'll have you know that I'd prefer to live."

*...Liklik seems to certainly agree, his leash slowly slipping out of Kilitcha's grasp. He'd back off towards the forest, keeping his eyes on the odd woman.*
Gloria
*Kibaru looked down at her in both ways, smiling* "I'll keep walking into your traps proving just how useless they are. I'll take what ever you dish out to show you just how far the gap is between you and me." *His smile was a fierce one, his fangs showing while a slight steam could be seen coming from his body* "And then we'll return to the gravy old man without any force used to get you there."

"And true I know nothing of you, but can you say you know anything about me?"
Craig
"Yes you are just blowing out hot air. You are stumbling into everything without being cautious of your surrounding. You are to full of yourself. But you are right on one thing. The gab between me and you is extreme. By the way, look down. There is a little present for you." *She moved one hand away from her back, and pointed down to his feet with her finger. He stood directly into a circle, which started to heavily glow. The circle was half filled with the blue glow, but soon he should notice that it was actually some sort of fluid, reaching for his feet.* 

"Now to you." *She turned towards Kilitcha and still had her smile on the face.* "What are going to do, if I would say yes? I mean my intend to just erase you from this world. I mean you would fit in my collection. I would take care of your preserved body, and you have a spot near the chimney with others the others I liked." *She sighed though and removed the other hand from her back. Daggers formed an half circled around her body, levitating in the air. She tiled her head a bit and looked to the wolves.* "Sadly they need to go. So you have two options now, leave this place and pay the price or die. Sadly I can't allow the other one to just leave, because he needs to have someone showing what happens to people like him."
Willard
*Kilitcha is unintimidated by the idea of being turned into a trophy. Well, no, she certainly is intimidated, though she does her best to not show it.*
"The price being, exactly? Not getting that potion that old man promised me?"
Gloria
*Suddenly an arrow would fly past the woman. His bow was still on his back. She seemed to let her guard down thinking that he'll actually take the liquid with any seriousness. He wasn't treating her, just showing her that he could strike at anytime if he pleased. He did try to avoid the liquid if possible though*
Craig
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Yasmin, bounty hunter, and member of the old buggers group. Working as a bodyguard and scout in a foreign country. I'm able to use high tier elemental magic and combat magic. Trained with a short bow, recurve bow and long bow. Preferred weapons are daggers, like you can see. Oh and don't forget my traps." *She laughed a bit before feeling the arrow flying past her.*

"Alright. I see." *The liquid was immediately reacting to this attack, covering his foot and sending out an extreme shock, with a move of her fingers. (We are talking about a tazer here on maximum power) There were more circles getting activated around him, each for every limb and a big one behind him.* "See, only a fool would just attack out of the blue. I bet you don't even have a plan. You are nothing compared to me." *Well, it only looked like she was letting her guard down. The other circles are already half filled with the fluid. She then started with a smile to rush towards the wolves, the lines on her body are heavily glowing. She would dodge two and kill one if they are jumping directly at her.*
Willard
*Well no shit they don't have a plan, Kilitcha thinks in that split second she has. It wasn't supposed to be a fight.
Either way, no. The wolves don't rush directly at her. The middle one stands his ground, snarling angrily, while the other two go to circle around her. Kilitcha, for her part... Pulls the teddy bear out, hiding behind her tower shield, keeping her eyes, her crossbow, and the bear just above its edge.*

"...Want this bear?"
Gloria
*He would seem really unamused as he stared at the liquid trying to shock him* "Sigh... You know nothing of me" *He wasn't effected at all. He then took out his katana and decided to play with it instead by slinging directly at it, but fast with a higher amp and voltage then the liquid*
```Lightning armour used.
Cost what ever it costs
5 turns left```
Craig
"Eh just give me a second." *Yasmin was annoyed, and with the max speed and movement speed, and extreme strength, she gave Kibaru a straight punch beneath his ribcage. Actually she lifted him up in the air a bit, not even flinching from his armor. After all she herself is still a high tier elemental magic user, and used a barrier to go against his. This would actually put Kibaru down, because she would hit directly the solar plexus with the extreme force.* "When do people actually use their brains a bit... And swallow their wanna be pride." *She sighed and let the unconscious Kibaru drop on the ground.*

"Now to you, you... Youuuuu little bug!" *She looked really angry and stretched out a hand towards Kilitcha.* "Give me Mr.Pebbles! Now! I was looking for him all the time, since he vanished from my home! God damn I will beat the old man up!" *She didn't cared about the wolves anymore, and directly stopped in front of the tower shield. Her tattoo slowly went back to the normal lookin Lotus Flowers and the massive magic in the area went down to a normal state. The animals finally and slowly started again to sing and talk.* "Please..." *Yes she actually said please, and slowly but steadily calmed down. Her eyes not moving away from the old stuffed animal.*
Willard
*...Well Kilitcha is in no position to negotiate really, considering she just destroyed that guy, buuut...*
"...Promise you'll come visit the old man?" *She requests, momentarily putting her crossbow away... And hugging the bear with her now free upper arms.*
Craig
"Yeah yeah... Now give him to me! Also put this guy on the horse, the old man should have an elixir for him..." *She still had her arm stretched out, desperately wanting her beloved Mr.Pebbles back. Also some real wolves came by with two other stuffed animals and dropped them at her side.* "Gosh now I need to stitch them too... Poor Mrs.Fluffy and Bobby. Mrs.FLuffy was a fluffy pink sheep and Bobby a small donkey. Both were damaged from Kibaru's actions, and Yasmin picked them up.* " Eh... At least the animals acknowledge a person who treats them with respect... Never kill out of lust. Only to provide yourself with what you need and pay the dead animals respect." *Anyway, she quickly grabbed Mr.Pebbles out of the hug and started to walk along the path which Kibaru and Kilitcha came from. The horse also came back, and Yasmin only yelled.* "We will see us in the town." *Then she vanished out of sight, with waving her hands.*`

**Quest done: 1,5PP because of using the given help. 1 Gold for each because of solving this without injuring Yasmin (Yes this was possible, because she also has weak spots.) Also 1 potion from the list in the
Willard
*Kilitcha watches her leave... Then looks at the scrub who tried to pick a fight with her.
...She'd just have the wolves drag him back to the cart. Then, time to ride back into town.*
