A Wicked Plan

"Fair enough. So just to make sure we got it now Auriel is the warrior Elthien Talagar ........I am Ikan Keekbutay a merchant from Kurst and LeLu will be my wife Iarlas Mia Keekbutay a merchant noble of Nuna-Bihnys and we are looking to improve our trade routes. How does that sound sis?"
Auriel smiled. "Sounds perfect to me."
The group rode on in silence for a bit as Auriel led the way. She really wanted to ask Jack about himself, but she had learned that talking to someone about their real identity when they were going undercover was usually a bad idea. She sighed. Oh well, might as well talk business. Hopefully, she would have time to talk to Jack and LeLu about personal things later.
"So, I'm thinking we'll go to Radogast first and meet up with an associate of mine that can forge your identities. From there, I'll show you all of the safehouses of our's in the area. These are good places to lay low and resupply when needed. From there, well, I want to see how you two fight. I'll meet with some of my spies in the city, and from there we should be able to track down a band of slavers and free another group of captives. Do you guys have any thoughts or worries about that plan?"

Jack pondered for a moment as he recalled the last time he killed a bunch of slavers. He was hunted beyond all manner of reason like he had tried to kill the queen. So he wanted to try doing things a bit different this time. A wicked smile appeared on his face as he had a naughty idea to get revenge on his last two pursers.

LeLu: Jack? Are you thinking of doing something bad?

Jack: Actually I am. I guess you are picking up on my body language already.

LeLu: Well you have the creepy grin on your face again.

Jack: Well I was just thinking of the best way to deal with the slavers

LeLu: Are you going to kill them again?

Jack: Would that bother you?

LeLu: I care not for those brutes, but I do worry they will hunt you again like before. I.......I don't want to see you hurt Jack.

Jack: Don't worry LeLu I got a better idea. Check this out sis on our next mission to attack the slavers, how about I take the form of someone else when we attack the slavers and instead of killing them we just wound them very badly. We will let them suffer the losses of the revenue and medical costs and lay the blame on a noble who managed to piss me off before. Her name was Kalena Valade and she is a holier than thou noble who abused her status on those who she looked down on. I think it would be amusing to see her get taken down a notch or two. I also have a beef with a dark half elf named Oruvand who thinks himself a lawman. From what I have seen by the way the "Failure is not acceptable" standard the locals have, it would easily cause internal strife and make our job easier to disrupt the slaver business since trust will become an issue for them. All I will need is the proper clothing and horse. So what do you think sis?

Jack had a wicked smirk on his face as he looked at Auriel. Ironically it was the same smile Aello had when she was up to no good. LeLu was a bit concerned but knew Jack was her priority now and she would support him.
