Davos glanced down at the extended hand and briefly considered not shaking it but ultimately chose to deal with that simple formality of agreed alliance. Firm gripped, they shook hands. Donnels concern about payment was precisely why he would be an ideal partner in the hunts to come under the guilds authority.

A fish creature, far smaller than the one fought on the beach the day before, ambled out of the bushes with a wail as it threw itself upon the group. Lacking the same imposing physique of its older equivalent the will to slaughter what could be considered an inferior or immature threat was at an all time low, the trapper choosing to watch his newly made accomplice in action. 
The man was strong, stronger than Davos as he took the creature head on with matching ferocity and a deft display of skill with his hook. A true angler would be proud of the catch as it was reeled in. The ensuing struggle and subsequent execution of the fish spawn served as a fine interview.

Davos had watched with arms crossed observing man and beast alike with a burning intensity to his stare, making note of Donnels honed reflexes at work mid-fight. Had they not proven themselves it was likely the trapper would have helped after the fish man had gotten a fresh kill.
Such was the way of trust in the mountains. 

[b] ”Yer a trapper ain’t ya? Let the others play with the big fish for now. We should set up a nice lil ambush for it.”[/b]

[color=f26522]"The big one is coming. There are still others on the beach. These lesser creatures cannot be the only spawn thus far, I'd wager. Better we finish the real threat quickly,"[/color]

A quick glance over his shoulder gave him a good view of the unfolding scene on the beach as the other hunters circled the adult monster, Drystan proving his worth at avoiding the razor sharp fins and the maw of his prey all at once while armed with a mere dagger. To Davos it seemed like every other player here was ready but that nagging feeling of doubt at the pit of his stomach was growing bigger by the moment.
Could it really be so easy for something that claimed so many victims?

If it had born children, did that require a mature partner?

Other questions bubbled to the front of his mind but were pushed aside as the trapper glared off into the distance, unbuckling a leather strap from the front of his coat while his free arm freed it from beneath the folds of his cloak. Obscured by the cloth was a large pair of metal teeth, a metal plate located across it with a large spring on the bottom.

Setting up the trap was easy. Snap it open, lay it down, lure the monster over it. Simple. Problem was the monster stepping onto it could be troublesome if it wasn't baited properly or missed the trap making it an unreliable strategy.
The shield from earlier stuck in his mind as a new plan was formulated. From the side, an archer stepped into the open waving a bottle marked with a skull and crossbones.

[b]"What 'ye thinkin'?"[/b] Marauders voice cut through his thoughts.

Davos thrust the bear trap into Donnels arms, the leather strap dangling down to the ground.

[color=f26522]"Strap that to your shield. Whoever you are, coat the trap. Once it clamps down its not coming off easy."[/color] To Donnel he continued. [color=f26522]"Bait out an attack and get its hand crunched in the jaws, or see if you can snap it on a leg. Poison will do the rest. Myself and, I assume the archer girl, can back you up from behind. Not enough time to make a proper pitfall anyhow."

With preparations done, the trapper advanced on the scene with the mature fish creature. A tap of his wrists felt the reassuring metal of his contraptions in the event they would be required. At his hip was a sharp dagger and a bladed whip should the need arise. In all, there was a good amount of confidence that they could pull this off. 

[color=f26522]"Marauder, lead the charge would you? Bow girl, behind me. Try to get its attention on us would you. If it remembers me it might just try to charge past the others."[/color]
