Nanashi
Her ruse had worked. They figured that as long she was heading to town, she'd be no threat to them, nor to Larry. The fools instead had provided her with a fresh scent trail straight to him.
She was wary of the wolves in the forest, keeping a watch for her, so she made sure to hide her scent by triple back-tracking, taking to trees and streams where possible, and finally coming within sight of the encampment. Her expert powers in the hunt was far superior than her brother gave her credit for, else he would not have allowed this to happen. It seemed that his mind was not as alert when the prospect of a loved one being hurt came into play. She had to remember that one. She also had to remember that the wolf-lady was allied in this bunch and it seemed that she had a golden dragon on her side as well.
Larry was surely keeping himself protected from trouble and making alliances with powerful friends...as was expected from the former Lord of Darkness.
Now she needed a plan. Her Lord would not approve of her blindly rushing in and slashing the throat of Larry, leaving no room for escape. Sure, the deed would be done, but there had to be a more safe way to do so.
She decided to hang back and observe the area, and let the plan come to her in its time.
