The human village that Rino saw from a distance looked like there was a cloud of death over it. Normally, every village would have a firekeeper standing watch at night just in case the village was under attack. However, the village was deadly silent without a single light source.
Unsummoning the other eight Dullamen, Rino only took Acht to lead him to the village, down the rocky mountain. Mutt was busy getting acquainted with the newcomers, giving them the briefing about the dos and don'ts of joining Rino's shadow army. None of the shapeshifting spectres voiced their complaints when Mutt started his long lecture about how Rino founded Noir Province. The lich wisely tuned out to everything in the background and floated down the mountain.
