"No, not almost. You failed - you were defeated by a puppy."

"You ever hear of the Ranters? We're not even their ..." Suddenly she hears Dagmar's comment and lunges for her "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Snarling!

"I'll kill that kid, I swear I'll SKIN HIM!"

Sylvi gives Dagmar an alarmed look, and then the 'cap starts moving, She aims a shot at the head with the butt of her spear.

Dagmar glares. "You won't touch him." Her voice is steel. No lies there.

And those are the last words the redcap girl hears before she's knocked out cold

"Well," Colton says "We got one of them"

"Ranters." Sylvi looks around. "Here. Great."

"CLearly the lowest of their rung. Maybe trying to make their bones?" Colton asks

Grunt. Glare.

"Maybe. Dagmar, can you haul her to wherever you can find guards? There's two more out there, right?"

"Or we could help you" Vali says , his.. weapon is being cleaned with blood "We got the other two"

Beside him an English Springer Spaniel with blood on her fangs wags

"You got them?" Sylvi relaxes gratefully. "Cool."

"Well, when I heard that Connor sniffed out Gerd, I thought, where can I find a talented Dog pooka to help ME" Vali says and pets his fiance

"She got their scents, and well, then we got them period. " He says "Alive, of course"

"This one ain't dead."

"I'm not sure about that. She said there was poison on the star, but she might have been bluffing."

Tiffany walks to the star and sniffs

she then barks out the tune to I will survive

Vali says "Sounds like a bluff but we'll get her to a healer and thanes."

"Okay," Sylvi nods. "I'd help her myself, but...I really kinda don't want to."

Vali nods "In case she IS envenomed" he bends down and touches the Cap"As hard as your heart, as cold as your cruelty"

And she freezes solid

Tiffany has wandered behind Dagmar

And then Tiffany says "Geez O petes, she gets bigger every parsec"

"Smart. That one's probably bitey."

"There was a thane, back there...she hit him with another star. We should check on him," she says to Colton.

Colton nods "On it" And he moves that way "Good team work, Dagmar and Sylvi. Classic flanking"

Sylvi gives Dagmar a grin and a thumbs up, then follows Colton.

"Thanks."

Tiffany looks at Dagmar "Thank you for the new Corvette"

"I.. what?"

"Nothing nothing "Vali says "She's rabid. Ignore"

Tiffany sticks her tongue out, then says "You clocked the Bridge tromper! "

"Tiffany... " Vali winces "Don't do this. She's a Gwydion. She'll ask. I can't lie"

"Ask what?"

Tiffany beams "Waht? Ayou're REALLY getting me a Corvette?"

"Oh, Tiff, you bet on me?"

"Whats his is ours and what's mine is mine two"

"There .." Vali facepalms "MIGHT have been some wagering"

tiffany takes this moment to buff up the Beaumayn symbol on Vali's sash "Shiney"

"I didn't CALL on it it just happened" Vali explains when Dagmar didn't ask

Eyebrow.

"Little red corvette" She bounces

"We need to get this Cap Sicle to the authorities"

"Well... good luck."

Somehow, Vali doesn't think Dagmar means luck with the cap.

"Thanks" He says a bit dryly

Tiffany pats her engaged's buttocks excitedly
