"Gil, honey, can I see you for a bit?" Shouted Gilfort's wife. Gilfort walked in and sat next to her. "What do you need, Margret?" He asked. "I just wanted to thank you for doing such a gruesome task in order to bring us what we need. Though they may not show it, the kids appreciate it very much," she replied. "I know what you mean, Margret. I would go to the ends of the earth to provide for you. Especially in these dark times of crime and invasion," said Gilfort, "I couldn't imagine what I'd do if any one of you were taken from me."
After a month or so of living off of that single bounty, it came time for another task. He kissed his wife, son, and daughter goodbye and left. His next assignment was to take scout the house of a suspected witch. If she was practicing witchcraft, she was to be immediately killed.
Gilfort readies himself by dipping his dagger in poison and sharpening his sword. By the time the sun fell, Gilfort was more than ready for his next task. Slipping into the shadows, he makes his way towards the witch's cabin. Very quietly, he approached the house and slipped in through an open window. No torches or candles were lit, making it the perfect place to sneak around.
In another room, Gilfort heard a female voice. "-and just a drop of dragon's blood should do the trick!" Gilfort knew for a fact that dragon's blood was only used in potions and other magical concoctions. Carefully, he opened the door just a crack and slipped through undetected.
Swiftly, Gilfort emerged from the shadows and bashed her skull in with the hilt if his sword. He then picked her up by the throat and growled, "Practicing witchcraft, are we?" Then put her down, slashed her jugular vein with his sword, and ran off carrying a vial of her concoction as proof to justify her killing.
Gilfort's boss was extremely impressed with how quick and clean his kill was. "Astounding! That's twice as much pay as your last kill, Mr. Baxter! Bravo!" Handing Gilfort the sack of gold, the boss also gave him a new recipe for a faster acting poison to put on both his sword and his dagger. "Look, Gil, says here that it paralyzes the target and eventually kills them. Even better, you live right in the middle of an abundance of the main ingredient," he says. "Thanks," replied Gilfort, "I'll put this to good use." He ran off to get more essential things for his family.
