"I'll see who's causing such a ruckus," Swamp Ant volunteered eagerly upon sensing the disturbance, heading out to investigate.
"I'm coming too," the Flame Scorpion chanted, joining the departure.
Ivan glanced at the two half-centaur, gauging from their aura that they were likely the target of this commotion. With a sweeping gesture, he signaled everyone to go out and see for themselves.
Surrounding the courtyard were glowing lava spheres, the handiwork of Flame Scorpion, which illuminated a vast area.
Once outside, they could make out two tattered, emaciated figures in the distance, with a robust presence. As they drew closer, a putrid stench permeated the air.
"The Hunters have actually followed us here!"
By now, the two half-centaurs, heavy with worry, trailed behind. Recognizing the familiar figures, they couldn't help but cry out.
