Much as he hated to admit it, Tal's main experience with the Fangs was going over them, not into them. When he heard that he needed to find a diamond in the rocks he had paced and scowled and tried to find another option...
But in the end he'd penned a letter to Sah.
Hey Jester,
I need to hire your hunting services, but not for the usual. I hear you've been into the tunnels in the mountains a few times, and I need to find a diamond down there.
Dierdre made rum cookies last night, so when we get back you can stop in for some.

And, in short, that was how Tal and Boreal found themselves standing at the mouth of an imposing-looking cave the next day. The sled was parked at the base of the mountains in a sheltered grove of pines and now the courier slanted a look sideways to his... rival? Frenemy. Or whatever Sah was. Shit had gotten confusing lately. "You sure this is the right cave?"
