You Lack Skills

Arad looked at the fairy with a passive face, neither she nor the hunters could see his face thanks to the cloak. "Can you use size magic? I want to learn it."

"Yes, I know it. But sadly…can't use it while locked here." She tapped the cage and her eyes shifted toward Balon, "Can you convince him to let me go?"

"This little one was supposed to lead us into the den of an earth tyrant, she instead lied to us and led us into an empty pit with nothing but vipers and death." Balon looked at Arad, "We had paid the fairies first, and she is our insurance."

"Yeah…" The woman wizard sitting at the side sighed, "We needed to kill the tyrant and get some material, now thanks to that disappointment we're in the red and need money to feed our members. People have families and mouths to feed, you should know that."

"We'll sell this little lying gremlin to recoup our costs." The other man sitting on the opposite side of the table to Arad added.
