- What good are these rewards and monsters to us? We're not here for that.

Damn it, don't ask questions!
- But we won't even have to put in any effort. There's an opportunity to get rich without lifting a finger. The money will help us with our excursion. Maybe you've seen how a crowd of all sorts of riffraff goes out hunting from here? Well, why not stop them and take all the prize for ourselves? - Redram smiled conspiratorially. - And I'll do it alone, without any risk to your lives.

- Dear Ley wandered through the market, trying to walk in such a way that at least one row separated her from me.
- If only there was something to spend on, ha-ha. I wandered around the shops for half a day and couldn't find what I was looking for... Well, anyway, there's nothing else to do here. Let's go, tell me what's going on.

Because it was getting dark and all the shops were closed, Lei Lan decided it was time to go to the tavern. Eat, sleep, eat...
Entering the tavern, she immediately headed towards the table where her new companions were sitting.
She did it discreetly, and before she could make herself known, she heard Siegfried's words.
"What? That's not true! Just because I didn't want to walk next to him doesn't mean I was trying to distance myself from him!"
"Um, hi guys..." Lei Lan said, a little embarrassed, as she was still afraid that some might think she was out of place.

Almost wrote "Ney" >_<.

Schoolboy. If we notice, we'll teach him a lesson. :3

- Hello, - Hostor smiled at the girl, then looked at his friends. - Finally, we're all here. I've rented a room, let's go in.
With these words, Redram entered the room, and when all his companions had entered, he locked the door.
- As I already told Siegfried, I have a task. I want to prevent another group of adventurers, whom we saw back in Deepwell, from claiming the reward for hunting monsters, and instead take the money for ourselves. It's not fair, but it's practical. So, for that, I need to go alone now and catch up with that group. But first, a couple of things. I shouldn't have any belongings with me," the mage tossed a bag of clothes onto the floor, placed all his weapons and supplies except for the dagger next to it, put a map, a book about dragons with Vincent's daughter's note inside, and potions on the bedside table. Also, Hostor took off his cloak and threw his jacket over a chair. - Secondly, I need to look thoroughly battered... Siegfried, um... could you rip my shirt and not hit me too hard in the jaw?
What am I doing?! It's madness! Madness for the sake of madness!

Schoolboy. If we notice, we'll take his hide. :3

Said an equally big schoolboy x) Dream on.

- Hello, - Hostor smiled at the girl, then looked around at his friends. - Finally, we're all together. I've rented a room, let's go inside.

Check this out...
-Hostor, I think this is crazy....

- Are you reading my mind? Yes, it's crazy, but... Did we come here to eat and sleep? Or should the four of us go hunting? That's suicide for everyone, but my suggestion is suicide only for me. I don't want to waste away. Why not shake things up and take a risk? And if something happens, you can easily divide my possessions.

He'll say that a dragon attacked him – I'm 100% sure.

-Um, hi guys... - Ley Lan said somewhat shyly, still afraid that some might think she was out of place.

- Good evening, - Siegfried grinned, baring his teeth. - How was the shopping?

What are you people doing! What are you people doing! I've always said: guys. Just be human. We're all human.
Siegfried listened to Hostor in silence, and with each word, he sensed something interesting was coming. Nix tore his shirt, ripping the fabric in one place.
It's okay, it can be fixed.
Raising his arm, Siegfried thought for a couple of seconds, took off his gauntlet, and only then struck. Of course, he asked to hit without using full force, but if he hit too weakly, what would be the point?
It's okay, not even close to full force.
Siegfried wiped the blood from his broken lip with some rag.
- Aren't you worried about your things? You must have something personal and valuable there.

- Are you reading my mind? Yes, it's crazy, but... Did we come here to eat and sleep? Or should the four of us go hunting? That's suicide for everyone, but my proposal is suicide only for me. I don't want to wither away. Why not shake things up and take a risk? And if something happens, you can easily divide my property.

Okay, give me the rapier, the money, the book, the note, and everything else.
-But it will be much harder without you. We need you. And together, we will definitely manage.

- Good evening," Siegfried grinned. "How was the shopping?

-As you can see, I'm empty-handed," Ley Lan smiled with a sweet, but fake smile.

I don't know anything, I just want the rapier and the money =P

Hostor stepped back a few paces from the blow of Nix, who at the last moment finally thought to remove his gauntlet. A few drops of blood from his split lip dripped onto his clothes. Redram wiped the wound with his sleeve and straightened up.
The rumors about the power of the underground dwellers are clearly not exaggerated...
- Thank you, - the mage said quietly, and spent a few seconds warming up his jaw. - For the items? I don't know. In principle, if I'm dead, I won't need anything. But if I'm not, I'll bring back more money than my belongings are worth, - Redram managed a weak smile. - Wait for me for two days.

-But it will be much harder for us without you. We need you. And together we will definitely succeed.

- Together, we won't fit into the plan. We'll have to fight, not use cunning. And I can get out on my own. But...thank you for your concern.

Alright, get out of here.
It was hard for Ley Lan to watch Nicks hit Hostor. But she preferred to keep her emotions in check and not show it.
-Well... if you can't be persuaded otherwise, you can leave, and we'll wait for you here.

Sit and wait for two days? I have better ideas.
- Alright, do as you planned. Good luck.

Sit and wait for two days? I have better ideas.

I'm already worried about the city.

- Siegfried, if I don't return, kill someone in my honor, - Redram chuckled unhealthily and left the room. He ran towards the Black Forest, trying to catch up with the group of hunters. Thanks to the fact that they had lanterns and weren't hiding particularly well, Hostor quickly spotted the lights and heard the faint murmur of their conversations. Circling around the group in a wide arc, the mage delved deeper into the forest, trying to move as quickly as his caution and prudence would allow. The night forest was quite an impressive sight, but for those who had a goal, that didn't matter.
When the light of the lanterns was to the side, rather than in front, Redram began to mutter curses under his breath, cursing the bounty hunters and their "stinky hunting methods."
