First Quest

In the Pagobas village. The group went to the leader house for more information.

"Hello, we've come for the extermination quest." said Bron while entering the house.

"What might I help you with adventurers." responded an old man with a hunchback making him look no taller then Leo.

"Hello sir, we would want to know in which direction is the wolf." said Kaly with a happy smile.

"Oh, sure. A few local hunters have followed it a few times, they couldn't find it's nest but we know that it always goes up north, deep in the woods."

"That would bring some problems. It would take to long to search for it."

"We could wait for it to attack and ambush it." said Kaly.

"Does it attack daily."

"Thankfully it doesn't, it comes once three or four days and takes a few animals and any unlucky person that saw it."

"When did it attack last."

"Yesterday night, it took two cows and their owner that tried to protect them. Poor man was only able to attack once, some blood and a a clump of hairs fell of the beast before he was put down."

"It will take at least a few days to come back and we can't stay here that long. We might have hit a wall with this one." thought out loud Bron followed by "Let's go search for it."

"Wait, have you saved the hair from the wolf." said Leo.

"Yes, we thought of using it for a talisman to ward of the beast."

"Can I get it."

"What are you going to use it for?" asked Kaly.

"I have a good nose."

"And you think you can smell it from here?" asked Bron sarcastically.

"I have a good nose!"

"Fine then, might as well give it a try. Can we take the hair sir."

"Anything as long as it helps with slaying it."

The old man opens a drawer and takes out a small leather bag handing it to Leo.

"Ok then, we are going now."

"Have a safe hunt." said the old man while the group exited the house.

At the northern entrance of the forest.

"Ok Leo, do your thing."

Leo nods and takes out the wolf hair giving it a few sniffs, he lowers the hair and takes a few sniffs of the air.

"I found a trace. Follow me." said Leo before taking of running.

The two others follow quickly trying to keep up. After 20 minutes of running they reach a cave with dried blood marking it.

"I will be damned, you are a wolf in human clothing."

"I guess that solved the problem, just warn me next time." said Kaly while beathing heavily.

"I will try to remember next time."

"Is it inside?"

"No, the smell is strong here but I feel another one a little farther away."

"Well then, let's move away from here and wait for it to come."

"Shouldn't we go take it down now?"

"This place is more open, we would have an easier battle. We don't know how open it's where the beast is now and it might escape."

Leo looks to the ground after hearing that.

"Don't worry everything will go fine if we just wait." added Kaly.

"Fine then."

The group moves out of view of the cave and take a sit on the ground.

"How many mana potions do we have?" asked Kaly.

"Four on me and half a kilogram of mana moss."

"I don't have any." said Leo.

"I guess you are really new to this kind of life, here." Bron hands him some green moss.

"When you are low on mana chew some of that, it will allow you to last a little longer."

"Thank you."

"No problem, what about you Kaly?"

"Five, that should be more then enough for the battle."

"Leo, can you use ranged attacks?"

"Yes."

"I will take the aggro. Kaly will stay near the trees and cast her protection spell on all of us while healing us when needed. Leo you will wait for an opening and kill it as swiftly as possible, if any attacks pass by me please try to stop them if they will hit near Kaly. Anything to add?"

"It sounds good." affirmed Kaly.

"What if Kaly is down."

"If the beast would still be up for a fight, we take Kaly and run as fast as we can."

"Understood."

"Ok then, that's the plan. Now we wait for it to come out."

"Leo how have you thought of becoming an adventurer?" asked Kaly.

"My brother told me to try it if he isn't around, to find friends he said."

"I guess that answers many questions, is your brother an adventurer?"

"Never asked him, but he was good at fighting."

"He sounds like a good brother."

"I guess never had another before. What about you, what made you two join the guild."

"I wanted to become the strongest when I was the same age as you, still want but I have a long way." said Bron while laughing.

"I thought of trying new things, seeing new places. Now I can do it while helping people in need." answered Kaly with a smile.

"For how long do you know each other."

"For about 2 years, she joined the party I was part of at that time, at that point I already was an adventurer for about a year and a half." answered Bron

"The two grade 4 adventurers that were in charge were searching for a healer while helping some rookies and I was both a rookie and a healer." added Kaly while giggling.

Leo smells the air and then turns his head to the cave.

"I think it's back."

"Let's prepare, as we planed."

They go back to the cave and take their places. Kaly in the back next to the trees, Leo in the middle waiting to attack and Bron a few meters away from the cave with his shield and sword out.

"Lord of Luck, Lord of Clovers, make experience luck and luck experience, TEINE DION." Kaly casted her spell.

All three of them are covered in a reddish green light.

A strong howl exits the cave, a strong light following and three fire balls the size of a football behind. One comes need Brom who bashes it with his shield, a strong clang being made and the fire ball being redirected to the left wall of the cave. The other two hit some trees which start falling as soon as they are hit.

The giant blue wolf comes out, slowly. The giant beast with a reddish crystal on it's forehead stands still for a while, taking in it's surroundings.

A crystal, it shouldn't have a crystal, it's something else. Thought Brom before charging in and slashing on one of it's left leg.

The wolf moves it's leg, following with a bite.

Brom lifts his shield, stopping the bite. He follows with a stab to the nose.

The wolf steps back in pain howling once more.

"Now!" yelled Brom.

Leo moves in, Brom following behind. Leo attacks it's neck with a lightning blade, Brom slices it's left leg at the joints.

Five fire balls are made, three hitting close to the boys while two were directed to the girl.

The two man move away from the blast while Leo throws two lightning bolts at the astray fire balls which explode. They escape with slight burns

"Kaly heal." orders Brom.

"On it. Lord of Luck, Lord of Clovers, grand me warmth of a sunny day, LEIGHIS."

The beast, unbothered by the damage, tries to bite Leo, before starting to heal.

Leo lightens up his dagger blinding the wolf for a few moments, stabbing one of it's eyes.

The wolf stumbles falling to Leo's left.

Leo prepares to attack again but the wolf, now with it's neck mostly healed, starts howling.

Two giant fire balls appear. One moves towards Leo, the other towards Kaly.

"Leo, move back!" yells Brom.

He jumps in front of Leo, bashing the attack which is sent to the sky.

Leo takes some of the moss from Brom and chews on it. His dagger lightens up once more and he throws it at the other fire ball which explodes just a few meters away from Kaly, pushing her down.

The dagger is thrown at huge speeds and hits the wolf right in the forehead crystal, killing it in an instant.

Everyone stays in a deep silence for a few seconds.

"Is everyone alright? Kaly anything broken?" asked Bron.

"Still in one piece, but I will feal it tomorrow." answered Kaly while trying to get up.

"Nothing hurts so far."

"Ok then, I guess we were a little unlucky with this one, or maybe lucky." thought out loud Bron before saying "Anyway, nice throw." Bron shows a thumbs up.

Kaly gets up and comes to the two boys.

"This one should fetch a nice price."

"Yeah, who thought that it had two magic abilities, if left uncheck it could have become a grade 5 beast, probably at least."

"There are two other similar smells inside." said Leo while looking at the cave.

"Adults?"

"No, they are small, probably babies."

"No can do then, we should finish the job while we are here."

The three of them go inside the cave. The remains of about 10 pups, two small wolfs waiting in a corner shivering in fear but with a defiant look in their eyes.

"I guess this is why it fought so hard. Something attacked it's pups." said sadly Kaly.

"Nature can be a bitch sometimes." added Bron "Well, let's not make it any worse than it already is."

Bron takes out his sword and prepares to swing at them.

"Can't we keep them?" asked Leo out of nowhere.

"The guild does allow tamed beasts, but it's hard to get a permit." said Kaly.

"What do you need for a permit?"

"A magic contract with a teras and to show that you can control the tamed beast." answered Bron "I guess you might qualify with the contract part but can you control them? They are still babies."

Leo looks at the puppies intensely for a few moments. The pups put their heads on the ground submisivly.

"I guess you are a real wolf boy." said Bron sarcastically "I guess we will ask for some rope or a bag in the village to hold them until you can get your permit."

"So we will have small puppies with us in adventures." said joyously Kaly.

"Yeah, we will. But only if he promises to take care of them. Why do you want them though?"

"The children of a grade 5 beast should get about as powerful as that, it can be helpful in the future."

"Fair enough, now let's go loot the body before we go, just the forehead crystal should sell for 2 midi, the mana crystal should fetch almost double that.

The three finish their looting, go back to the village and finish their quest.
