The trio had to wait for an hour before Adrian showed up. At that time Radley explained the situation to Adrian"s wife. The news. .h.i.t her hard. He finally arrived covered in bruises and cuts. He saw Radley standing there with two girls by his side, "Oh? You got two new lovers?"Elita was the one to continue the joke, "Yeah, and you are not going to take him away from us."
Adrian raised his hands defensively, "Heavens forbid, but I am not so sure about my daughter though."
"She can try."
Adrian laughed it off when he suddenly turned serious, "I got the b.a.s.t.a.r.ds who did this. We got into a little spat but I still got them. A few friends of mine are holding them prisoner. We will do a public execution momentarily. I just need to speak to my wife first. What about your front."
Radley gave the floor to Elita. Elita spoke, "She said she will speak with you, but try and bring this up. What if it was your daughter in those photos? I promise you, you will have an ally after that."
"Thank you, young lady. Will you be joining us?"
"For what exactly?"
"When I go talk to Adira."
"Yeah." Radley looked at both the girls, "Yeah, we will be there."
"Excellent. Just hold for a bit."
He went to his wife and hugged her. She started to cry pretty badly. After a while she let him go. They covered what was going to happen next. After that Adrian beckoned Radley"s party over.
They followed him to Adira"s room.
Adrian was the first to enter. Adira put on her best fake smile and said, "Ah, Adrian. Just the man I wanted to speak with. I am hearing some stories and happen to see some photos."
Adrian smiled back, "Yes, and please hear me out." He told her his plan. She sighed deeply, "I can agree with the first part. Not so much the second. Even with the help of another magistrate, you will be bringing the wrath of the council on yourself."
"And you are telling me to pardon them for their crimes!? Not happening."
An idea formed in Radley"s head, "Diff, is there a poison in this cave that can fell a level twenty."
"Affirmative, a rare flower called Mortiferum Cantet Pedes, or colloquially known as Deadly Crow"s Feet. It"s a poison that is used by many hunters to have an edge in combat. Also a very expensive plant. One could fetch the user as much as twenty thousand dollars."
"Heh?...alrighty then. Would you set up a waypoint to the said location?"
"The user is recommended to buy the ingredient locator perk."
Radley quickly went through the list of abilities. He found it. It cost fifty points and this wasn"t even the rare ingredients locater perk, which was one hundred points. Well, there went that idea, "diff, is there any other way to create a poison strong enough to face a level twenty or higher."
"The venom of a Bugratooth. A rare species that usually level twenty or higher. Considered docile, but do not approach."
The more he thought about it the less viable the idea becomes, "Diff, could you at least tell me the identifying characteristics of the Deadly crow"s foot?"
"Part of a superorganism. It uses a sweet smell to lure a lesser creature. The creature consumes the flower and dies within minutes of consumption. The superorganism erupts a spore into the air settling down on the creature where it forms a new connection and by growing new root from the dead creature."
Radley pulled a face in disgust, "How dangerous are these spore to humans?"
"The spores only affect the decomposing, but it is suggested to shower if the user comes into contact with the spores."
"Wait, if it"s a superorganism would it have a level?"
"While the organism is way too large to be spotted by a detection ability, the flowers tend to be level one."
Wait, what! He can actually locate it that way. He finally decides to speak up, "I might have a solution."
Adira sighed, "Go on, let"s hear it out."
"I suggest poison."
"They are level 20. There is no poison capable of taking out a level twenty."
"There is one. The deadly crow"s feet."
Adrian spoke up, "Aye if we had any, but the stuff is so d.a.m.n rare. It would cost an arm and a leg for just one. Besides, there is none here, or anywhere around for that matter."

"Doesn"t deadly crow"s feet crow in caves?"
"Yes, if you are suggesting to find one then don"t bother. It could take weeks to find just one of these b.u.g.g.e.rs. We will need two and time. We don"t have that luxury anymore."
"What if I told you I would be able to find two before by tomorrow?"
"I would kiss you on the mouth."
"While I appreciate the thought, I don"t swing that way. I prefer my ladies."
"No offense, but what makes you so special?"
"I have a unique instinct. Just please trust me on this."
"Fine, but no later than tomorrow. First things first. What to do with my brother"s murderers?"
Adira shrugged, "That"s up to you. I will preside. If anyone has a problem they will deal with me. So you have the backing of a Magister."
"Thank you, Adira. Radley, my boy. Are you going to stay or are you setting out immediately?"
A malevolent smile formed on Radley"s face, "I will stay and watch. If you want I can give you a hand."
"No. it was my family. I will deal with them."
Radley nodded. Radley turned to face the girls, "You guys better stay behind. This isn"t going to be pretty."
Elita shook her head, "No, I ain"t letting you out of my sight."
"You have been warned. What about you Rita?"
"If Elita is going, so am I."
They all moved towards the door. Adrian took them out of the B&B and made their way towards an old decrepit looking shack. One guy was standing outside with weapons in hand. They made their way in and saw a group of guys only in their trunks surrounded by a bunch of well-armored guys. Radley looked at all the people. He found who he thought it might have been. Jared.
