This time the job was certainly straight forward. Aagha was going to be causing trouble for a bunch of hoity toity nobles. The idea of causing trouble for nobles was a breath of fresh air for him. He had been through quite a bit lately. First in the desert he had met the odd girl, then in the mountains he met... it, and finally he ran through the plains of lightning nearly roasting himself, Boromir, and Cane! Not to mention they met... him. Aagha was still trying to wrap his brain around what exactly he had signed himself up for. Everything in the plains was still just a mess of him wishing he hadn't ever set foot there. Just thinking about the plains caused Boromir and Cane to stir slightly as well. That job had definitely been way to big for the three of them right now. The two could smell the anxiety coming off of Aagha like he had just rolled in a bed of spring flowers.
"What are we to do with you?! Just stop thinking about it so much! Everything will work out fine Aagha!" The wolf snapped, though as low as he could possibly manage. Boromir was currently in a tightly sealed crate so as to avoid sending suspicion through the roof. It wasn't often the people around here witnessed the might of a Dawn Lion, and right now it was the dead of night. Even a small slip up could prove fatal this time around. Their job was to steal from this warehouse that was barely guarded at all. The plan they had come up with was that the two of them would sneak up and then call for Boromir for exit. Supposedly they would have some semblance of assistance, but from who or where was not noted.

Sarris had just delivered a package to one of the noble merchants. For her efforts she was unceremoniously thrown out of the establishment as an “Uncooth Street Rat.” She landed on her rump as the door slammed shut. This had to be delivered at night and people always cheated the courier when they got nighttime deliveries.
“You own me for the delivery!” She shouted at the door and the people inside as the candle light went out. Fireclaw landed snorting contempt at the whole silly human endeavor.
Not wanting to be out done she dragged the end of her broom in a circle around the building in the dirt. Then waving her hands in weird gestures she yelled, “May your goods rot! May your wife and daughters have triplets! and all the cats in the neighborhood make love under your bedroom windows!” With her Druid abilities she could encourage the cat problem to happen. With the Fae connections rotting goods was also not a problem. She doubted the noble even had a wife. It would mean he would have to part with his money.
Wiping off the dust from her bottom, Sarris looked at the Drake and started to walk down the street still muttering.Most people would not mess with a red headed girl and her pet dragon.

Aagha noticed a bit of a disturbance among the nobility in the warehouse and did his best to remain quiet and hidden, but he wasn't specialized in being stealthy. There was a girl approaching with red hair and from what he could tell a dragon..? He quickly looked around for a place to hide and so he ducked himself around the opposite side of the warehouse beckoning for Cane to join him silently. They both sat in the corner shielding themselves the best they could, but Aagha audibly gulped. They didn't want too much conflict. If the goods were delivered successfully as this girl said, that meant Boromir was in position and their time to move was coming. Aagha shut his eyes to listen for the oncoming commotion. It wouldn't be long now.
Meanwhile within the warehouse there was the bustle of business as usual and transport was pretty constant in and out. Getting out of here quietly like Aagha had hoped would be near impossible. Boromir let loose a small huff as he considered his options. The moment they opened the crate he would have to spring into action and a mighty roar would be the signal he let loose that the commotion was beginning. It went silent for a few moments, but then suddenly, the noise of the crate being fiddled with occurs. The side of the crate was popped off and out charge Boromir letting loose the loudest roar he could muster.
Aagha knew he and cane needed more time to let this stranger pass, but it was too late for that. Instead of maintaining their poisitions, they booked it as quick as they could, which for aagha wasn't very. "Cane, go! Forget subtlety the chance for that is out the window! Grab everything, destroy what you can't. Those are your orders!" Cane took off quick as he could to go assist Boromir while Aagha simply hoped the girl walking with a dragon would choose to ignore them. There would be a lot of commotion and it seemed a bit clear her current stance with the nobility was irritation, so maybe this could be their saving grace.

Sarris was tempted to use some profanity as she muttered about the cheapskate merchant as a crate moved and a lion came charging with a roar. She understood a battle cry when she heard one. It was not hard to understand. it would have the effect of setting the guards on edge.
“Fly,” she shouted and she lifted her broom and rose. Fireclaw lurched forward and the power of his wings sent dirt, sand, and small pebbles flying. They moved out of the way of the young thief and his animals as they made their charge for the warehouse.
“This could be interesting,” Sarris said as she perched herself on her broom as they flew above. The young man had not learned the art of sneaking yet. But he made up for it with enthusiasm. Sarris could respect that.
She could fly high cover for him, she had a bow and arrows. If started to go bad, she could always capture him and turn him in for a reward. She really wanted to meet this lion and see it in action. She loved cats, as long as they were not trying to eat her.
She circled above watching for guards that would be responding when the fighting started.

Aagha and Cane made it quickly over to the warehouse. As they made it to the entrance, all hell broke loose. There were shouts, hollers and woahs. Aagha quickly ran up to the door and banged on it. "Guards!" The trick, with all honesty, shouldn't have worked. Aagha sounded a bit too young to be one of the battle hardened guards, but in the panic the Dawn Lion was causing, the door was opened. Aagha and Cane both took out a respective door keep and Borormir charged for the open door. Nets were thrown, but Boromir brought them and the people holding on with him until they let go.
What Sarris would see come charging from the warehouse was a Lion glowing bright as the morning sun. He was absolutely massive and he was covered in jewelry so the light shining off him was being callously amplified and colored. He was running, a bag of jewels in his mouth. Aagha had quickly managed to grab anything on the ground close to the door and hop onto the Lion. Cane rushed in grabbing and donning whatever was still there to be taken. The three of them then were headed off toward the approaching group of guards.
Aagha at this point was barely even breathing. His hands were gripped onto various things hanging around boromir. There were sacks of jewels and jewelry, some sort of weird coins, a sword.. wait. A sword?! Cane was running to catch up holding a menagerie of his own. More norably in his mouth was a torch. The road they ran down was being littered by rays of colored light. Aagha could barely keep his hold on. Cane had listened well as fire began to spread in the warehouse. Aagha started to slip from boromir, but a bump from Cane kept him aboard his Lion.
"For the love of the gods please dont stop for anything. Just go. Go. Go. Go!" Men were trying to put out the starting fire, but apparently cane had found some sort of flammable liquid in the warehouse and they weren't having a good time. "Weve got to stop just taking any job that pays money! This is not a good plan. This is not fun! I am not okay right now!" Cane let go of the Torch. "You're the one who said we shouldn't be too picky! Besides the Lion looks like he's having rhe adrenaline rush of his life!"

Sarris found herself in a moral quandary. Did she help the man that cheated her or help the young. She looked at Fireclaw and told him, “Fly.” As she turned invisible.
She was not worried about the glowing lion, it had its proverbial hands full as it ran. The glitter of jewels made it clear that helping the young thief was going to pay better than the reward she would get for turning him in. More guards approached this time from alley ways and from a few other buildings. These were night watch and other people guarding other warehouses. Quietly Sarris concentrated and made mystic patterns with her hands. When she finished explosions like fireworks exploded various places down the street, rockets, whistlers, and smoke bombs started going off buying the fleeing thieves a little bit more time.[1] Guards ducked and scrambled back and ducked for cover.
Sarris mounted her broom and took to the air. She would follow them and pick up items being dropped and throwing the guards off their trail.
If a few of the trinkets stayed in her pockets, who would blame a girl.
Sarris weaved as she flew, swooping down to grab something dropped then climbing to stray after the thieves.

Aagha pulled the reins on Boromir and ducked low holding tight. Boromir was simply rushing through the smoke and fireworks with no heed to what was in his way. Aagha was breathing hard and holding tight praying for them to reach the point where they could manage to slip their captors. They had been given an extraction point. As Boromir kept running, a net was cast, but he quickly ducked and they slid forward a bit barely avoiding the net, but managing to do it.
Cane tackled a guard waiting on them a bit up ahead and let loose a loud victory howl. The cover created by their aerial support certainly made this job easy for the three of them, or so they thought, but it looked like they were going to run into two soldiers on horseback looking to give Boromir, Cane, and Aagha a run for their money. The two soldiers were both wielding spears and attempting to get discernable blows on Boromir or Aagha. Boromir would quickly throw himself to the left to knock one of the soldiers from the horse. The other soldier began to make his way toward the Lion and the man, but Cane charged forward chomping down and pulling the second soldier down as they ran. They kept going trying to reach their extraction point, but now they were getting a following.

Sarris watched as the trio moved to their escape. As they attacked the guards, Sarris was not sure she had chosen the right side. It was one thing to attack that pick of a merchant's men. But the city guard was a different matter.
"Beginners," Sarris muttered as the trio rolled through the city like a flaming wrecking ball in a cotton field. They were drawing a crowd of followers as more joined the pursuit. Sarris had a rule, get in get out, and do not be seen.
Sarris almost swore as a mage on horseback started to cast a fireball at them. "You kids are going owe me," Sarris said as she prepared to cast a spell to give them some cover.
As Sarris concentrated a wall rose from the ground behind the fleeing trio as a Fireball smashed into it.
Sarris was envious of the fireball, Fireclaw was far less impressed.
