"I don't recognize the area." The Breach exit was located in a small wooded valley. "Scout around Ducky, there could be more Tainted here." Nix checked his map and verified they were on an uncharted landmass north of Jhabi.
"Those things smell bad, Nix." Mort pushed a wet nose into the back of his head.
The corpses had only been dead a few minutes; however, they were already starting to decompose.
Nix started walking north down the valley. "I wonder if removing the dragon scale hurried things along. At this rate, they'll be bones in a few days."
Morti waddled alongside him, his big nose high in the air as if tasting it. "This place is kinda scary."
"Don't be such a baby. You're the biggest one here."
Morti nodded in agreement. "I'm very big. Ferocious, too, that's what Ducky says." The black cave bear halted his steps and turned his head toward the dense undergrowth. A moment later, Ducky exited.
