Shrunken women board

"Hm, my gut says the Koi might be easier, especially with my skill."

"Then should we check in with the guild, see where we might've find some and no on our way"

"That sounds like a good idea: I'm not sure if there's any sort of Luck skill here..."

I walk back into the guildhall with Chocolate and Audrey in tow, Fluer still in my arms and approaching the built Scottish woman from yesterday.
"Excuse me, we were looking to take the herb gathering and koi fishing quest's. I don't suppose you could point us in the right direction for these?" I ask kindly

The scottish sounding woman smiles and nods. "Of course! The lake should be around the fields you checked yesterday, and the herbs are in the opposite direction. It should be a few hours walk from here. Though be careful, there are a few aggressive bugs in the herb fields."

"Well, I feel more comfortable killing bugs than I do rabbits. Let's get a move on!"

"Definitely, bugs over rabbits anyday" I reply to Chocolate.

"Thanks for the advices again, see you later" I return to the Scottish woman as I make my way back to the door, holding it open for Chocolate and Audrey.

As I reach the door, I take a quick bow and allow Audrey to go first because I'm a gentleman.

"Shall we go to the lake first, since we've already been to that area?"

"Sound's good. We might be able to get another companion to help with the herb gathering" I reply with a grin

"True, true... though do herbs grow in lakes? We might need to explain to them a few things when the time comes..."

Your party follows yesterday's trail back to the fields, and from there navigate to the koi fish lakes. You stare into the waters and find that there are plenty of koi fish you can catch and submit to the guild.

"Wonder if it's an overpopulation issue, there's a BUNCH here." I muse to myself. "Guess we should get to work."

"Must be something like that. How should we go about rounding these fish up? Any ideas Chocolate, Fluer?" I ask looking puzzled at the swarming lake.
"Maybe we could use your befriend skill to bring the 20 we need close together at the edge and use Fluers ice skill to freeze them into one big block we can bring back to the guild before getting the herbs?"

"Okay, let me try:" I stand up and activate my Befriender skill.

I place Fluer on the ground at the water edge.
"Fluer, I n ed you to do me...uhh...your master a favour and use your Ice skill on the water once a bunch of fish get close to Chocolate if you can"

(Are there any particular fish that stand out, I'm thinking of trying my tamer skill out on one since it'll recharge by the time we get back to the guild and get out to the herbs )

"Sure thing master!" Fluer grins happily as she kneels down at the water's edge, getting ready to freeze it over.

When the fish gather at the water's shore, a mist gathers around Fluer, and the ice expands outwards, freezing any unfortunate fish that happen to be caught in the radius of the skill. However, Underscore notices one that seems to be speeding around, dodging the skill, water rippling around the fish.

"Hehe, look at the little runner!" I muse at the one fish swimming about rapidly. I look over at Score, and notice a certain look in his eye, "I think we all know what you're planning, so let's cut to the chase."

"Hahaha yeah, look at it go" I reply as I watch the koi dodge and weave avoiding the touch of the ice.
"Ok Fluer that should be enough, we still need to be able to drag this chunk of Ice out the water and back with us." I pay Fluer on the head and look over to Chocolate.
"Was it that obvious?" I joke turning back to the speeding koi beforehand closing my eyes and focussing on my tamer skill
'Cmon, cmon please work' I mumble under my breath

Underscore watches as a popup appears in front of him that reads -50SP Successful tame!

A familiar swirl of bright energy engulfs the fish within the water, before it flies out and deposits a small woman at the water's edge. She had pale skin, and silver hair with orange highlights. She had a quite curvy figure, and upon closer inspection, Underscore noticed a pair of gills on her neck. He also noticed that she was considerably smaller than Fluer, about 6 inches tall.

In a similar fashion to Fluer, she smiled up at him and greeted him. "Hello master!"

"Yes, test succesful!" I declare with massive grin as I twist away from the water and hunch down my face directly Infront of this little creature and my finger outstretched towards her, just to check she was definitely real running up and down her tummy and chest.

"Well hello there spry one, aren't you adorable... So tell me, do you have a name, any abilities and...do you need water to breathe?" I ask, my eyes narrowing on the gills on her neck

"Careful there, you'll start looking... FISHY like that."

Somewhere, a *ba dum tsh* can be heard for seemingly no reason...

My head drops as I scoff and then sigh at Chocolates pun, both disappointed in the pun itself and the facts I laughed at it

"Hello Master! I... I don't have a name, I don't think... I can control water, and I'm amphibious!" She declared proudly, waving her arms about.

I perk up when I hear say she can control water. I'd always had a soft spot for water as an elemental ability. "Hey, maybe put her in the water and we can see what she can do!"
