"Okay, we wait until he's asleep."

"I'll use my shadow Staff to get us in." Claire portals us into Stickler's office.

"And I ever so gently remove the ring from his finger," Jim says as he tries to remove the ring from Stricker's finger.

"Hold up there, Mr. Storyteller: Do changelings even sleep?" Toby questions,

"Yeah, good point Toby. We don't really know his exact intentions he's going to bring up here." I add on,

"Yeah, good point guys. New plan." We restart our vision. "We spike his coffee with extra strength cold medicine, making him out cold."

"I use my shadow staff," Claire repeats,

"And I bring my Warhammer in case that doesn't knock him out."

"And I'll use my powers, in case all that backfires,"

"And I ever so gently-"

"Wait." Claire interrupts. "What if he's not alone? His office was guarded last time!" We start to hear a goblin on the shelves aiming to shoot an arrow at us.

"Okay, fine. We spike the coffee." Jim groans in annoyance,

"Shadow staff."

"I and Y/N use our weapons to take out his goons."

"Then, I ever so gently remove the ring-"

"But what if it doesn't come off?" Toby says,

"Toby- why wouldn't it come off!?" I exclaim,

"I don't know. Maybe it's glued on, or he added a few pounds!"

"Why would it be glued on, you dingus!?" Claire panics and hits the back of Toby's head,

"You said to be ready for every precaution!"

"He's walking up!" I warned,

"Oh, how is he walking up, this isn't even really happening!" Jim exclaims,

"Quick cut off his hand!" I exclaim,

"What!?" Jim turns to look at me,

"Use your sword, hurry! Do it!"

"No, I'm not gonna cut-"

"Do it! Do it! Before it's too late!"

"I can't-"

"Fine, then I'll do it!" I budge in as I aim my staff at the hand, ready to blast some power.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Toby exclaims and we all turn to look at him, now in Claire's room. "If you chop his hand off, you chop your mom's hand off too, remember?"

"Ugh, I forgot! Angor Rot's binding spell!" Jim sighs as I put my hand on his shoulder. He takes his hand and puts it on top of mine, "We're not ready. There's too much risk."

"But Angor Rot said if you don't get the ring, he's coming back for you," Claire mentions,

"Claire's right, if we don't get the ring back, you're in big trouble, Jim..." Jim frowns a bit, "But we do still have time to be ready for this too. We can still be stronger. Together." I say as I move down to the ground besides Jim and place my head on his shoulder.

"Yeah, we'll figure this out, Jimbo." Toby smiles. "It's not like we don't have a secret Trollmarket right under our feet filled with crazy magic." Jim pauses for a moment and then smiles looking at me with an idea. I tilt my head a bit and then got the idea. I look over to Claire as she gets the point as well.

"You sure you don't wanna come?" Jim asks as he still holds my hand as we lead them out the door.

"Sorry. Parents are on a weekend trip." Claire says,
