"Aren't these Reidar's summoned creatures?" Jorik asked.
"How would I tell?" Lena said, annoyed. "It's not like we can distinguish them from the real wild ones."
"They didn't give C.L.A.S.P. points," Jorik said.
"Regardless, they are the ones who attacked, so it was just right for us to fight back."
"I wouldn't say that 'fightback' was the right word. Those things crushed us," Torren said. "We were forced to flee!"
Lena nodded. "Indeed, those fuckers could re-summon themselves. I guess this explains how Reidar was able to kill the quarry boss monster. He likely flooded the cave with creatures, and they took care of it."
Reidar gave an order to the contubernium, and that was to kill those who were chasing him. The problem was that the unknown group tailing them wasn't the only one inside the forest.
Lena and her team were there as usual, and the two groups stumbled upon each other.
"Well, if nothing else, at least now we have our answers."
