"Hay Tea? Why are you rolling around on all that gold?" Sasha asked her friend after walking into the living room.

"Because I can, that's why." She pronounced for all to hear.

"And because I am filthy rich and this is what filthy rich people do, right?" She added.

"I don't think it is." Smithy said while looking at the sight before him.

"What about Dragons, I hear that Dragons do that." Tess told the group while watching his pups jump on Teamasa.

"Dragons don't count." Embrda told the group.

"Let's all have a cup of tea shall we." Drassisa told everyone trying to change the subject.

"Don't worry, you can have a cup of me anytime." The strangest member of the group told the Dark Elf.

"Really, did you really have to make that into a joke? Really." Drassisa asked while looking at her friend with a raised eyebrow.

"Couldn't resist." She said while laughing jovialy.

After everyone gets some tea and Teamasa puts all the gold back into the chests they sit down to disscuss what they are going to do with the gold in more detail.

"We need charms to prevent sleeping effects, poisons, and forced teleportations." Embrda told everyone about what he considered to be the most basic prevenative measures he could think of.

"Why forced teleportations, what use is that in the everyday setting." Tess asked with a pup on his lap.

"Ever seen anyone teleported up two hundred feet and left to fall." Smithy said with a grim look on his face.

"Splat!" He said while slaping the table with a hand. Looking around he could not help but to notice that his point had gotten across.

"We are going to need to stock up on poition ingredients. Probably be simpler to just pay for some low level adventures to get the rare stuff. Not dealing with it ourselves will be cheaper if we factor in the time it takes do get the damn things." Sasha told the group.

"Something to prevent scrying spells will also be useful. Maybe a ring of fireballs or the like. Something that can do damage with little effort." Drassisa added thinking about both herself and her brother.

"Agread, that will be the basis and we can add anything else that we decide on later. Maybe something to avoid death magics." Sasha told the group.

Teamasa was floating around the room in lazy arcs while controling some of her undead. They were scouting out the area that was reported to house the ogre and chimera.

The scouts were of her own design based off of the dire wolves that they had hunted earlier. Thay had the influence of the hydra and it's multiple heads tacked on to make it more observent but less agile. Because of this they would climb up to a high point and use their enhansed eyesight to observe a massive area at once.

She had made two dozen of the horrible things and lovingly named each one. She had then started calling them different names just to mess with people. It was not like they had fealings or emotions and she controlled each one with her mind. They were made to be able to see mana, heat, magic, movement, life and death. They were her greatest creations in the field of spying and would serve her well if she could figure out how to mask their presence.

They had been finding good points of view over the mountain pass and could now watch over half a thousand leagues combined. In that field of view they could now see both the chimera and the ogre. He was riding the chimera like a horse. It even had it's own saddle and everthing.

Riding over the rocky ground and waiting for the right time to strike he could not help but to love the feel of wind in his hair. It blew hard in the hight's of the pass and he knew every inch of the terrain around here. Every sping had watered him and one of every animal had found its way into his cooking pot. He was the last survivor of the tribe that had challenged the Lord of all that Glitters. He was the last that had dared the oldest Dragon in the world.

He kept the treasure from that war close to his heart. A single gold coin that had fallen off of the Dragons scales when it had taken flight. He had caught it and it in turn had protected him from the fire or so he believed.

In truth he suspected that he had mearly gotten lucky. He had survived and found his way here. He had found his friend on the mountain pass and had made it his home. Without the chief he had no one else. She was the one that decided where the tribe would go and this had been her last decision and so here he would stay.

He had killed all the fools that had come to challenge him. Those that had come with steel and fire. Those that had proclaimed to be his death. His people had died to Dragon's Fire, how could anything less take him. How could anything less then the Oldest and Grandest of Dragon's end his reign over his mountain pass. It was his and he had stood up to a Dragon's might. He had lived so nothing less could take him. His gods would not allow it. He would not allow it.

His mount would feast on the best cuts of tonight's dinner. She would diserve it for they were hunting something no ogre could hope to take down alone. They were hunting fire carabo. A beast of six legs and two tonnes of muscle at its back. It could kill him alone but he was never alone. Not as a beast tamer. It was his passion and why he had survived so long.

All his monsters had been lost to fire and calamity but he would rebuild his monsters and grow them stronger then ever before. Chimeras were adaptive, it was in their nature to do so. All he had to do was find things for it to adapt to. He had already fed it the strongest poisons he could find and it's own poison had grown stronger as a result. Now it would grow resistant to fire. Now it's muscles would grow stronger. Then he would start on something far weaker then a fire carabo. He was thinking of a bug or a rat. Something that would not ever be able to get that strong on it's own but with his help. It would!

"I think that the ogre we were sent to kill has tamed the chimera we wanted to kill. He seems to be good at it." Tea relayed the information that her undead had given her.

"If I remember correctly was the request not to kill the savage ogre that was terrorizing the pass." Smithy told the dangerious people that were now wondering if they had been lied to.

"It was, I remember it had those exact words but if you do not believe me then here is the request." Sasha then handed him the request.

"Well looks like I have not gone crazy in my old age. Let's look into this a bit more shall we?" He asked to agreement from all sides.
