Tricks of the Trade

"Would it be possible for you to transport this man to Kaer Morhen? Tied up and bound snugly would also be recommended Solaire asks the small creature.

Hinky nods and snaps their fingers, causing ropes to materialise around the man, constricting and preventing any movement from him. The man tries to shift a dagger from the back of his trousers by Ves gives him a kick in the leg and removes it swiftly, "Not so fast."

Hinky "Hinky will take man to masters prison!" they say as they pop away, the man whimpering before he's whisked away.

Lambert "Wait, Reima has a prison?"

Solaire "I can think of one place in his possession that would serve as a fine prison." he mutters.

Kuretz "Whatever, let's just continue. We can talk about Reima's sex dungeon when we get back!"

The group continues south, clearing up any nests they come across, the monsters they're fighting are mostly Drowners, though Hags were more common than you'd usually find. As the group are walking next to a river Kuretz notices a few figures resting on a rocky outcropping hanging over the water.

He walks towards them and his pace picks up when he's able to see the people properly, those behind him being left behind as they slowly follow.

He climbs up the rocks and looks down at the three naked women sitting nearby, their lowers halves a large single tail covered in multicolored scales with the addition of two large wings. They smile at him and wave him over, his eyes not even noting their inhuman features, instead being firmly locked on their breasts.

Kuretz "Hey ladies, you new around here or what?" he says, a wide grin under his mask.

They smile at him but don't say anything, however as soon as he sits next to them their faces and bodies shift from previously young and beautiful to scaled, horrific and monstrous. Their faces turning scaled with huge fangs with their arms getting a similar treatment. Kuretz is too shocked to react properly as he stumbles backwards, a claw raking across his neck and barely missing a vital artery.

From behind him he hears Lambert's voice, "You fucking idiot! Did you not hear us shouting to come back!" he exclaims as he leaps forward with his sword drawn, the Sirens flying off when they missed their surprise attack.

From below the rock Ves, Solaire and Anastacia start firing at them. Ves's arrow grazes one while Solaire's lightning bolt makes one explode into a fine red mist midair. Unfortunately, Anastacia's black lightning misses, allowing two to gain a lot of distance from them.

Solaire isn't perturbed by the distance however and draws the Sun's Sword and points it at them, causing the blade to light up and almost blind those watching. Suddenly a white beam is released from his blade, striking a Siren. He slowly points his sword at the other, the beam following as the frantic man-eating-monster attempts to dodge it, her attempts are futile however as she's unable to move faster than light.

Both fall from the sky smoking, if not already dead from the beam then the impact most certainly will finish the job.

Solaire releases the magic from the sword and sheathes it, turning around and giving a bright smile to everyone. "Fantastic cooperation everyone!" he says with a thumbs up.

Roche and Ves aren't really sure how to react around this man, every display of power only makes them more reverent towards him.

Lambert rubs his face and focuses on Kuretz, "Stupid, don't do that again!"

Kuretz "Bro, any holes a goal right? As a man you must understand!"

Lambert growls, "The only hole those Sirens will be forcing you in is their gullet! Do you understand? They. Will. Eat. You."

...

Kuretz "Hmm, any woman wishing to eat me is welcome to." he jokes, which has Lambert at a loss, wondering how someone more shameless than himself had been created.

Lambert "Whatever, let's continue... If you want to try fuck a Siren then who am I to stop you? Just don't complain when you come back to life without a cock." this causes Kuretz to halt mid-step, a grim look under his mask.

The group sweeps most of the land south of Kaer Morhen, making sure any nests they come across are burned and buried. The hardest monsters they actually come across are a large group of Foglets that'd claimed a swampy cave for themselves. However with smart use of the Pyromancers it was easy to flush them out, by the end of it the swampy water in the cave was boiling and steaming... However the steam allowed the Foglets to escape and ambush them, without Lambert's medallion giving them a warning and Solaire's quick reflexes they might have lost a Pyromancer to their claws, luckily any injures sustained were quickly healed by Anastacia.

The Foglets themselves were quickly dispatched, their mist forms not being immune to Solaire's lightning and the armoury of Silver that was thrust at them after they were revealed.

Eventually, though it was time to return to Kaer Morhen, the sky dimming cutting their task short despite it not being entirely completed yet.

Lambert "We'll have to continue tomorrow, even experienced Witchers would hesitate to hunt at night. Plus, I need to hand in this Foglet contract to Mirfield..." he adds with a smirk.

Kuretz "Wait what? You're using us to complete a contract for you?"

Lambert shrugs, "What's wrong with that? You guys need the monsters gone and the village wants the same, what's the problem with me getting paid for it?"

Kuretz "The fact that we aren't?"

Roche "Let's just leave it, I can understand why you've done this... But you owe us all drinks for it."

Kuretz nods along with everyone else, making Lambert realise he'd be making a loss from this venture...
