There was a house built on the way through a steady trail towards the top of the mountain. It looks as if it was going to rain... Or at least snow, the winds were howling aggressively as they made the treck. A good question would be, just who was this woman? What kind of grandmother lives on the dark side of the mountain, where it is still mostly dry with a lack of forest? 

The house itself was just a small shack made of wood. It had a water well, a fire pit, and well... Some fortifications. It seems she had her fair share of raids! Of couse she would, this place was a pretty popular route to the mines of unknown materials. 

It was currently dark, but it was lit by some torches as a woman, most likely the old woman, hacking up some firewood and a pigs! She needs her food of course! Approach the woman to interact!

She seemed to be quite strong, lifting the axe high into the sky and driving it down with a strong crack! The wood split in half, flying off to somewhere!

*Little Amsu would have made his way out of the capital city so he could go off on this quest... He heard from a few fellow adventurers at a inn that an old lady was looking for some help. Something about how she used to be a adventurer herself, and wanted to go out on one last journey? Sounded like a nice person, and he liked to help nice people, so he set off once he was finished healing some wounded commoners.*

*Now that he got here, however, he didn't factor in that it would get this dark. It was a good thing he had dark vision, but it would be bad if his potential allies couldn't see what they were doing! Well, whatever comes will come... He must do his best to support everyone.*

"Hello? Miss? Are you the lady that posted that request at the adventurer's guild? I'd like to help you out if that's the case!"

*His two tails coiled around each other ecstatically as he approached the old lady, then stood at attention once he was about six feet away... His blue and orange eyes looking at hers.*

Gabriel had checked the letter and the meet up location multiple times, trekking through the trail up the mountain to where the lady calling herself their kind-of grandma lives. He was accompanied by a wolf. Unlike wild wolves though, this wolf had dark red fur. It looked almost like dried blood. It bears a collar made of rope and blue feathers contrasting the fur. Hopefully so grandma won't get spooked and kill it thinking it's wild.

Upon reaching the grandma's little house, he made sure to place a hand on his wolf before approaching her and another who has arrived before him. 

"Hello, good evening! I got your request, grandma. Ah, I assume I can call you grandma?" He nods to the Oriate nearby. "And I assume you're also here about that same request?"

`Gabriel had cast Ognen Vulk. He currently has 120 Mana capped at the same amount.`

*Amsu turned to greet the new ally that had just shown up, but then rather quickly jumped back almost three feet upon seeing the wolf. He didn't quite like canines... Running into dire wolves a few times, caused him to get a little bit of a disliking to any canine larger than two feet. Slowly regaining his nerves once realizing the wolf was particularly well trained, the Amsu responded.*

"Hi-***HEYOO***... Uhm, excuse me. I got a bit startled there... But yes, I'm here to help out the miss, too. Quite a large... Dog... You have there."

*He awkwardly chuckled to himself while staring at the wolf, his tails standing on end as if they were frozen solid... His cat ears having decided to collapse in on his head.*

`ye I just wanted to yeet that in, w8ing for dracul now`
Karen
Dracul found a letter on his pocket which somehow got there. How, that was a mystery. But it said there was an old lady who needed help with a quest and being the adventurer who likes loots how can he refuse? 
So he traveled to the place mentioned in the letter and saw and old lady cutting wood vigorously and two more people standing near her. "Umm hello? " He said softly as he got near the lady.

The woman turned to the group, silently beckoning them to follow. She seemed silent... But it was mostly because it was very cold... Or she just didn't like talking! She seemed extremely old, hobbling around with a walking stick. She seemed nervous though... She looked around, staring at the road... And back at the group as she walked to the house. 

If they followed, they'd be greeted with a nice and warm place. It was heated by a fire, a nice meal of... Beef steaks prepared on a large wooden plate. There was a lot so they were welcomed to eat their fill. In comparison to the other grannie, this person was... More silent! Wonder why

Dracul followed the granny without a word. He was expecting. Lively old lady but perhaps he was wrong. Whatever, it didn't change anything. When he entered a carefully studied the room and waited at the door.

~~no one pinged me REEEEEEE~~

*Well... With the not-so-warm welcome, Amsu felt like he did something wrong and walked with the two into the home. Maybe he scared her with his sudden shouting? This wasn't quite what he was expecting, but he will still try his best at the quest that he was gathered for. Having done his besto politely squeeze through the door and the random fellow who was blocking it ((flexibility perk is kewl)), Amsu looked around the home and felt a bit better.*

"Pardon me for being a bit unprofessional back there, I just got scared unexpectedly and all. So, for the quest, what's going to be expected of us?"

*He didn't wanna be too intrusive, so Amsu just stood around... His tails having slowly begun to move again, now that he wasn't focusing on the whole dog situation. The lady seemed to be rather strict? Probably didn't like anything that wasn't related to the job, seeing as she didn't want to speak about anything when they arrived. Hopefully she'll start talking now... That'd be nice...*

Gabriel followed the granny in. His wolf tags along out of habit. They were summons after all, so Gabriel never really sees a reason to leave them outside the house. Like the others, he was taken aback by how quiet granny is. From the writing, he expected a granny more... Well more upbeat he supposes. 

"Ah, are those for us? Thank you, grandma but pardon me if I'm overstepping boundaries here... Are you perhaps mute?"

While Gabriel doesn't immediately seat himself, his wolf comes up to the steaks to sniff it. After all, meat is a wolf's favorite food!
Roselle
"No no. Completely not... I just... Feel nervous Talkin outside about such a personal request. Please please, you all, eat! You need food. It would be very crude of me to... Not feed you before a potentially dangerous quest you see?"

She said, clasping her hands together. Under each plate was a sheet of parchment, which detailed everything they could expect... Zombies... Bandits... And... Puzzles? Interesting. You may ask what these were! 

The steak was quite well seasoned. Salt and pepper. The basic seasoning. It was juicy, served medium rare! Don't worry, it's completely safe to eat. But... It was practically a waterfall of juice! Super tasty and yummy! 

"Once you all are done, I shall tell you what you will be doing for old granny here"
