I have a need of certain items as well as assistance with something...something you can speak to me privately about, I don't know how to stop everyone hearing things on this yet. I'm willing to trade services of my own or goods for these; I'm a talented smith of many years from hide and leather through any metals, glass, bone or tusk - the last two are best for bows, we're known for making the finest bows you'd ever have a hand on. I've hunted since childhood so if it's meat for your own larder or a pelt to do what you will with or whatever other parts, I can supply those.

The assistance would need to be somewhere not the city. Somewhere private. Quiet. There's no danger to you, I only wish to see how greatly arriving through a rift may have changed me. The second is where I might come by a still. [And there's a pause, verging on awkward. She knows.] For milk. And somewhere the still might be put to not offend or be disturbed.

Until the frost trolls or the ice wraiths came. Other creatures I don't mind so much but those things...

[You can almost hear the snarl. Fucking lying bastard you are Klimmek. Watch for wolves will she? Watch for a troll windmilling itself in her direction more like.]

They sound lovely. I take it my blade wouldn't be much good against them? But you've survived them, so there must be a trick to it.

[earthbones]

If you want to get that close. Trolls heal while you fight so if you're not fast enough they'd beat you to death, and they're big. Ice wraiths move fast, hissing, hard to see, only one place to hut and that's where the teeth are. The more they bite, the slower you move.

[iceblade]

So, a powerful and fast enough offense for them both, before they've the chance to wear you down. I think I could manage that, and it'd be interesting to test my abilities against them. That cloak might protect against the teeth, enough for me to get a good strong blow.

[earthbones]

Or you could hunt silent as if you weren't there at all, an arrow that stops them dead to take the fat and the teeth.

[iceblade]

I bet it does, but ranged combat isn't my style. I have to be there in the thick of it. Though I'd never say no to a hunting partner that sniped from afar.
