The guildswoman waved to the huntresses as they departed before settling back onto a stool with a sigh.  "Three new huntresses at once..."  She watched as the women retreated towards the island proper.  "They're going to be a handful..."<br/><br/>It was only a matter of steps across the village square before the three huntresses were setting their feet onto the stone steps leading up towards where the craftsman's hut stood.  It was the only building in the village that was built on the island itself rather than perched above the ocean, a feature brought about by the need for a solid foundation for the forge set into the side of the building.  The craftsman was standing at the forge as the huntresses spoke, hefting a hammer that seemed far larger than a person his size ought to be able to lift and a gunlance in the other.  "Just in time..."  He murmured to himself as the he saw the trio moving towards him.  "Looks like I'll finally be able to get to proper work with hunting in full swing."<br/><br/>Beyond the stone hut and forge a solid fence interrupted by a wooden archway perched at the peak of a small pass leading inland beckons towards the first hunting zone marked on the map.
