Suddenly, you hear a shout from behind you and look around to see the warriors of your patrol erupt out of the forest and into the clearing where the camp lies, falling upon the Black Wolf bandits with savagery and skill. They appear possessed of a ferocity and bloodthirstiness that is not truly human, and the bandits seem to sense it, too. Those who stand against them are struck down mercilessly, while many others scatter into the woods.
Dugu looks about him, his sneering face now wide-eyed and frantic. "Stay here, and don't let anyone follow me," he says to his guards, before dashing away between two tents and vanishing from sight. The two bandits look at each other for a moment before turning in opposite directions and fleeing into the growing darkness.
You see a sword lying nearby, discarded by one of the bandits, and you quickly get to your feet and turn around. Vanya is still in his cage, looking out at you hopefully, while warriors from the Tribe of the Red Bear and the Tribe of the Black Wolf clash alongside you.
