"I am glad that they were not expecting us to be so well armed. It would not have made a difference either way, but those idiots actually ran at what looked like a living hydra." Drassisa said while laughing at how stupid some people could be.

"That is why we prepare and set ourselves up for victory. They will not always be so easy to beat. If we fail to plan then we are planning to fail. Best to account for everything that might come our way." Smithy said having tossed out some landmines in the path of a bunch of running bandits earlyer.

You need to expect victroy and perfection of victory until that becomes the only recourse to take. That is the motto that they had come up with on the road after getting ambushed. Though it may seem like they were taking it all a little to seriously they each knew the truth. It would only take a single dagger from the back or an arrow to the head to kill them. They would die like anyone else even if they could kill hydras in half an hours time. They would die like anyone else.

"Let's just get all this gold into our home and stash it away so that it can't be found. I trust that the cabin is shilded form scrying spells right?" Embrda asked Sasha while tapping on one of the chest they had looted.

"A god would have trouble getting throught the wards, my father made sure of it personally." She told them in response.

While Teamasa was getting all of their new found wealth unloaded with her undead skeletons the rest of the group was finally getting around to taking apart the hydras corpuse and removing everything of value from it in the safety of their home away from home.

They would need one of its three hearts for a ritual to the Lady and the rest was going into products for Smithy to play around with. The skulls would act as proof of it being killed.

They also had to break whatever tracking and spying spells were still on the chest instead of just blocking the effects. After everything was said and done they had decided to use most of the wind fall getting their own personal dungeon set up, the back up cavern ready to go, and the cabin set up to accomidate each of them.

The cabin would have a morgue for Teamasa.

A garden for Tess.

Outfitting the alchemy supplies for Smithy and Sasha, along with getting all the supplies ready for if Drassisa had to use emergancy medicine on the team.

Some of it would go to opening several small businesses in town to allow them more access. You would be suprised at how much info can be gained at a tavern. It would also be a source of revenue to distract form Embrda's more illegal pursuits.

The rest of the profits from this grand advneture would go into getting them up to their standards. They would have protection charms a plenty and from there they would each go for a Ring of Regeneration. Being able to survive until a healer can get to you or just get back into a fight faster is something that they wanted very much.

"Great, now that we have the heart you to can pay back your debt to the Lady. After that if you never want to have anything else to do with her that is fine. She does not judge!" Sasha told both Drassisa and Embrda.

They stood around a raised pit filled with flowers that they had picked on their journey. For the Lady of Bargins it was less about the value of something and what it ment to you. She coveted things that had a deeply personal conection to be offered to her. considering what they had used some of these plants for during the raid on the mine, personal was the right word for it.

"We offer what you have asked for in the form of a hydras heart. We gift you some plants that have brought us great wealth and great ruin to our adversaries." Drassisa sang out loud for the world to hear.

"We have gone to the wilds and brought back victory and wealth. We have called on you for your services and offer what you disire in fair exchange." Embrda chanted to the heavens.

"We thank you for the good fortune that you have given us and the health that you have ensured. For interceding on our behalf and ensuring that our hunt was profitable." They both told the small alter with the heart setting on top of it.

With a flash the heart and the flowers burn up in fire. They are first consumed with by the fire and then burned up to ash. The ash then rises up into the air before swirling into nothingness.

"Thank you for honering the debt that you incured, not everyone does." A voice told them.

Coming out of the place where the ash disappeared is a shadow that quickly takes form.

"Fools are the only ones that do not pay what they owe." Embrda told the shadow of the succubus while looking her in the eye.

"Why would you look at me and not bow you head?" She asked him.

"If I delt with someone that would not look me in the eye I would never trust them." He responded.

"Good, then I do not have to teach you the basics of business it seems." She said back to him with a smile.

"If you wish to keep our relationship at the point it is now that is Ok, turning your back on me is also acceptable. If you with to be a warlock either now or in the future just ask." She told the siblings before looking at Sasha and announcing, "dear child how have you been? You have done well for yourself or so it seems. Find a way to better chanel that power over luck I granted you and you will grow stronger."

"Now for you two, a certin set of gems filled with demonic power shall be brought into the city soon. You will know the signs if you look. When they are I would like for you to take them and offer them to me. I would owe you a favor if you achieve success." The Lady bargined with them out of the blue.

"What will they be used for if I might ask." Drassisa said while looking at the Lady.

"All I know is that intrested partys are planning to use them in a heist. Others would want to avoid it ever becomeing an issue." She told the Darkelf female and Dragonborn male.

"We shall try." They told the Lady after looking at each other.

"That is all I can ask for. Thank you!" She says with a happy smile on her face.

"You three done with your devilry or what." Asked Smithy when they returned.

"All finished and ready for what comes next. So what are we doing?" Embrda asked them.

"Planning on what we are going to do with the wind fall that has come our way. All in all it comes out to about forty thousand extra to do with as we please. Don't know what it was for but it is ours know." Teamasa told the group while playing with the pups that were running around the feet of Tess.

"Damn, that is a lot of extra money that we are going to have to transport. I say we leave it here and take from it as needed." Tess told the group.

"Agread!" Everyone stated at the thought of getting robbed and if they took that much money to a town it would happen immediately.
