The leaders moved to the far end of the line, and Karl adjusted his position to match them, with Remi close to him, but toward the main body of the Mountain Giant force.

"Because they're mad that you showed them up, and they're not going to let you leave without a fight." Tessa reminded him.
"Right. Almost forgot about that part. Alright, if everyone is in position, I will move forward with Remi to make the unofficial challenge."
