Ashton was strong. Anyone who doubted that or said otherwise was nothing but a fool. However, hundreds of adventurers had died in the monklin forest in just the last week and Ashton had decided to head into such a place by himself.
"Who said I'll be alone?" Ashton smiled and headed off, "Take care of the territory while I'm gone and tell baiter to have those explosives ready. Who knows what those fuckers would do while I'm here."
Virgil nodded and disappeared into the portal, leaving Ashton behind, "Good luck."
