Karl followed Hawk's directions to the pack of what turned out to be Yeti, which were essentially furry Orcs in Karl's mind. They were the same size, and though they didn't use weapons and preferred their claws and Ice Magic, they were on the same near human intelligence level.
The group of them stared down Karl as he approached alone out of the trees, then growled when he brought up [Refreshing Lightning] and [Flaming Body]. The Fire magic enraged them, and the pure gall of this human to think that he could take on an entire Yeti Clan on his own showed them that he did not respect them nearly enough.
But Karl wasn't alone, he was just the distraction, and the others had surrounded the group while he postured and wasted time.
[We're in place.] Rae informed him, and Karl launched into action.
His blade swatted away a flurry of ice bolts as the mages summoned their Golems, then Rend blocked the claws of the largest Yeti.
