"you are telling me, that you alone survived a monster encounter because you did not attack it?, is that correct".
Ricus found it hard to believe. The natural scenario of a monster and a human meeting, is the death of one race and survival of another, that is how it has always been.
Telling him he survived because he did not attack, gave Ricus the feeling that Shakir was lying to him, but why?...
"old man Shakir. I find your answer very hard to believe, I am sure even you know how absurd it sounds as an adventurer who has spent most of his life killing monsters".
"i know, but it is the truth, that is really how I managed to survive".
"I was paralyzed after seeing the red cocoon the monster was in, but the rest of the party were not. They were still capable of movement, and made their way closer to it".
"they did not go too far to the red cocoon before they were burnt alive right on the spot".
