_Almann grins_

"Let's go then."

_Almann would follow the noises of an axe swinging and hitting wood._
Larry
A couple hundred feet into the woods they'd find a man of large build, standing at about 6 feet, clearly defined muscles as he swung his large axe into the trunk of a tree. As the two would see him they would see as the tree fell. He smiled and wiped his forehead, stretching his arms, not noticing the two just yet.
Sharon
*Alarise was right behind Almann, her little footsteps proceeding rapidly. She got quieter as they neared.*
Zelda
_Almann could risk this man getting away, he knows he's fast, and he either has to prove he isn't, or is the beast._

_Almann would cast 'Bronze Heel' on both of them before they would be spotted by Cole. This way if he bolted they would be able to keep on his heels in the woods. Almann suspects Cole is complicit or the man who is the beast._

```Almann's speed increases from 21 mph -30 mph using 6 mana, and Alarise's speed from 24 -33 mph also using 6 mana. This cost 12 mana out of Almann's 100, leaving him with 88 mana left. This effect lasts two turns after casting.```
Larry
As they entered Cole's line of sight he gave a friendly smile and waved at them, "Well hi, how are you two doing?"
Sharon
*She waves back energetically;* "Hellooo!"
Zelda
_Almann reaches into his pocket and immediately grabs a silver coin._

"Hello there!" _He waves with his alternate hand_

"I'm sorry, but we don't have much time. I'm Almann, this is Alarise. Ferin back there said you were cutting wood. I figured I'd want to test something. Hold out your hand please, this is a quite urgent matter."
Larry
The man chuckled, "Not sure why but sure." He said holding his hand out for the man, "So what do you need?"
Sharon
*Alarise tilted her head, staying quiet again.*
Zelda
_Almann would place the silver coin in the man's hand waiting for a response._
Larry
The man would take the coin and look at it, flipping it in the air a couple times and then holding it out to Almann, "Why are you handing me a coin?"
Zelda
_Almann would shrug_

"Keep it. Seems like you're doing a good share of the work around here. Others thought it would be a good idea to make it known that you're appreciated. Figured I chip in after others described you as dependable. Hard to find good friends like that these days."

_Almann would turn to walk away, with the intent to head towards the tent that Ferin went to, that also contained Elica._
Sharon
*Alarise followed, waving to the man.*
Larry
Cole waved happily to them as they walked off. As they arrived back in the clearing everything would seem normal. Although Elica would be walking around pretty calmly.
Zelda
_Almann turns to Alarise before they engage in a conversation with Elica_

"The only option now is to give Elica and Ferin a silver coin each and see how they react. As of now I have no idea who it is. My best bets are Ferin being the beast and Cole being the conspirator. Other than this, perhaps Elica could also be complicit some way. Got an ideas other than that?"
Sharon
"Nope! We'll go with your idea. I never would've thought of silver coins.."
Zelda
_Almann nods and walks up to Elica_

"Hi Elica, I just need you to do something for me. Hold out your hand please, just for a second."
Larry
"May I ask why?" She said turning to look at them. Head tilted in confusion.
Sharon
*She let Almann do the talking, shuffling behind him energetically.*
Zelda
"Just to test something."

_Almann holds up a silver coin, looking for a reaction_
Larry
She looks at him confused, "I don't see what a coin has to do with any test. You'll have to give me more info." She said chuckling lightly.
Zelda
_Almann sighs_

"Lykos was attacked by the aforementioned werewolf, werewolves, even in their human state hate silver. This is simply to eliminate an suspected people. All you have to do is take the coin in your bare hand, it makes it easier for us to narrow it down to who exactly attacked Lykos, and the other hunter. Please don't misunderstand, we're really appreciative of what you've given to us in regards to information so far, it's simply a precaution."

_Almann rolls the coin through his fingers waiting for her response_
Larry
"Ya know, it ain't nice to just suspect everyone." She said taking the coin and holding it in her hand to show that it didn't hurt her. "That make you feel better?"
Zelda
_Almann nods_

"I deeply apologize, but you must understand what's at stake here yes? Now if you'll excuse us, we'll go talk to Ferin now. You can keep the coin if ya want, as a token of apology from me to you."

_Almann waves and walks towards the tent where Ferin was last seen_
Sharon
*Alarise follows him, humming jubilantly.*
Larry
Upon reaching the tent the two would see signs of a quick leave. Things strewn about wildly and no sign of Ferin.
Zelda
_Almann turns to Alarise_

"Ready to go werewolf hunting? Should've figured, the bastard is already gone, and I can assume who helped him before he left. We have two choices, tie up Elica so she can't run, assuming she isn't gone already, or go after Ferin immediately. I'm up for going after the werewolf, he can cover ground more than the woman."

```Almann's speed increases from 21 mph -30 mph using 6 mana, and Alarise's speed from 24 -33 mph also using 6 mana. This cost 12 mana out of Almann's 100, leaving him with 88 mana left. This effect lasts two turns after casting.```
Sharon
"We need to go right for the werewolf. I'm sure the woman was under duress by threat from the werewolf.."

"...Or they were getting freaky in the night. Either way, the werewolf is what we came here for!"
