Blood Claw Chieftain, Lord Hog, had a very fruitful "scouting" trip this time. Not only did he figure out the specifics of the plague-ridden town in the Polluted Swamp, but he also obtained enemy information that helped Murphy advance the "design and development" of the next group dungeon onto the agenda.
Even more, he managed to secure a very lucrative gain for himself through his bold and thick-skinned tactics.
Though all ten command wands were imbued with poison from Lame Claw, considering that madman only needed the heart of a vampire to help Hog detoxify, the situation wasn't all that bad.
On one hand, while the Blood Vulture vampires would inevitably not serve as the catalyst for Hog's "self-rescue," weren't there so many Wolf Poison pups in the adjacent Kato area to the Smugglers' Woodland?
With a bit of luck, the task could be completed in a day, with time for a round trip.
