The Lamia was about to say something, but Karl was already gone. Rae used [Shadow Step] and a length of silk to drag him with her into the trees, then a second step to where Hawk had found the Bandits.
The group turned to stare at Karl, who had appeared alone next to their camp, and began to slowly get to their feet, brandishing weapons.
"I have some good news and some bad news for you." Karl informed them.
"Oh, you think you have good news for us, do you?" An aging bandit informed him with a smirk.
The man looked at least half Ogre, and smelled far worse, but that could have something to do with whatever it was that they were cooking. It smelled of rot and vomit, and Karl was becoming certain that he was about to do these bandits a favour.
Karl nodded at him. "The good news is that none of you have to go to work tomorrow."
The bandits began to laugh and circle Karl, who still didn't have a weapon in his hands.
