Traps

"Now Will, you need to watch out for the traps people might have set. If you're caught when you're sneaking around then you very well could endanger the mission. So, we'll practice in these woods." Halt said, casually as Will inspected his knife.

Will nodded and sharpened a small nick out of the edge as Halt rambled on about the traps. Halt eventually noticed Will's systematic nods and grunts and stopped. Will took no notice to this and continued with the system.

"Excuse me Will while I go and fire an arrow at the Baron and run around cutting people's heads off." Halt said, and Will nodded.

"Would you mind shooting an arrow through my skull, I have an itch back there," Halt said, and again Will grunted.

Halt mumbled something under his breath before realizing what he could do. He smiled deviously and got some rope and set up a simple trap for Will. Then he got Alyss out of the castle and told her to stand at a direct point on the shooting range.

"Will I hope you don't mind it, but Alyss is in my way, oh well, I think I'll just shot through her then." Halt said, as he stood directly in front of his trap and Will.

Will snapped to attention and darted forward as Halt dropped his bow and pulled a rope that Will hadn't noticed. The rope loop snapped around Will's legs as he was hoisted up into the tree with the help of Horace.

"That should teach you to pay attention when I lecture you." Halt said.

"I'm glad I had a part in this, "Alyss said.

"I get payback." Horace said simply, pulling out a cream pie from somewhere.

"Oh dear God!" was Will's reaction.

The Halt, Alyss, Gilan and every other Ranger all came out of absolutely nowhere, all holding at least one pie each. Will groaned and muttered that he would never use pies as torture every again. Then he got a pie in the face, again, and again, and again.
