Unless you know of a place where we could pick them for free, buying them at the store would be best.
[He sees no need to get overly elaborate for something that's just intended to lure a pair of criminals out.]
I have a few plans in mind in case they do target us.
[He pulls out a pair of flashlights, shining one of them at the wall so Rapunzel can see how bright the lights go.]
These are fully charged, bright, and have enough weight to them that they can be used as blunt weapons as well. I suspect their shadow magic is dependent to an extent on having shadows present. We can disrupt where the shadows fall with the flashlights.
[He's also crafted a few elementary flashbangs.]
We can also throw them off with these. Do not look directly at wherever you throw these. They're designed to temporarily blind and daze someone.
[Rapunzel was soon watching the flashlight as well, so they could manipulate where their shadows go. That was about as much as she figured out and that seemed pretty simple enough. The flashbangs she figured could go one of two ways. Either well or not at all if she messed up somehow.]
I... wouldn't trust myself with those. Mostly because I could always have a clumsy moment and set them off accidentally.
Then you can take a flashlight, and leave the flashbangs to me.
[He's not going to try and push her when this isn't a training environment. The fact that she's taking this bounty with him is a big step and he wants it to be a positive experience for her.]
If I can, I'm going to copy a shadow mage's power and use their own abilities against them. If I'm unsuccessful, we have the flashlights and flashbangs to disrupt them.
[He gets up and holds the door on their way out. Might as well be polite and courteous. He's supposed to try and set a good example as a hero in training, after all.]
We can buy the herbs first. I know we can probably find them in the forest, but I'd prefer to be efficient. We can always buy cooking herbs that could be used for food later.

Okay, I think I got the idea of the place. Should be easy enough so long as they are predictable to an extent. So should we head off?
