Yes.

"What are you gonna do Tim? Say no to the sexy ass evil chick? I think the fuck not." the Dragon is cackling again, swirling through the sky in lazy circles.

"What's in this for me?" you ask the lady. The woman looks you in the eye and flares her Aura. In an instant you feel wave of anxiety and your body dumps adrenaline into your system in response, the woman lifts her hand in a slow precise movement. The strike is so fast you can't really explain just how you got fucked up. Your feet come up off of the ground and over your ass as you go tumbling into the dirt. The woman holds up her index finger. "First. I don't kill you. Second. If you do this for me and you do it right, that means following my commands to a tee. I will personally vouch for you and establish your position in the Sect as a member of the Crow Family and protect you from the Law."

You rub your jaw, which is bound to be in all shapes of fucked up by tomorrow morning. You're still not too sure if this is a great idea but you're all in now and you can't give up. "Fine. I'm in. Who do you want dead." The woman gives you a lazy smile. "Hold my hand." she tells you. You grasp onto her left forearm, it might as well be the branch to a hundred year old tree, her muscles are tight and well formed. "I said hold me not grope me." you loosen your grip.

The lady teleports the two of you into a wheat field on the northern outskirts of Abundance City. The wheat field overlooks a small stretch of road connecting Abundance City to the Prosperous Halls. A vital vein in the network of trade between the two cities. Caravans and traders packing their carts and bags with as many precious materials as they can hold. "My name is Scarecrow. You can refer to me as such from now on." Scarecrow unsheathes two wicked silver knives. Both hold a slight curve and glint in the moonlight. "From now on you obey my every order. Your test starts now." Scarecrow moves into a position where she can see the road clearly. You stick close to her, eyeing the road for yourself. You see three massive black caravans, stamped with the Imperial Seal. This is the good shit, artisan wine, foreign drugs, and even a chance for magical artifacts. You also see guards armored in heavy white plate armor, wielding long halberds with short swords hanging from their hips. There are exactly ten guards. Each one looks grizzled and hardened from many battles. You relax your eyes and look into the Aura of each of the guards. Their Auras are bright and bristling with raw energy, each of them is experienced enough to give you a hard time.

"I can tell you've just begun cultivating your Qi. Hell you probably don't even know what Qi means. But you're powerful, I don't know what kind of manuscript you read, but it was potent." Scarecrow whispers to you, her eyes laser focused on the guards, her stance is like a cat. Lean, loose and ready to pounce. "You have a good natural understanding, but these men aren't like those disciples you killed. You'll be risking your life for me, you know that right?" Scarecrow gives you a bright gleaming smile, her eyes twinkling in the moonlight.

You ignore the tugging at your heartstrings and give her a smile back, "It would be my honor Scarecrow." She nods then returns her focus. "I need you to act as a decoy. Engage from the front, try to maim or kill as many as you can. But focus on not getting surrounded and keeping your distance. Once you have their full attention I'll come in from behind and take care of them."

"Couldn't you just kill them all?" you ask.

"Yes but it is so much more fun having an accomplice. Plus this is a test remember?" she gives you a friendly pat on the back and the knife almost cuts your ear off. "Now, time to prove yourself, how are you going to approach them?"
