Stowig bowed. "I have news about Atrox and his team. They have finally arrived in Veilwood."
Fell sneered as he straightened behind his table. "Finally, after a week of traveling! They sure took their sweet time."
He had taken Atrox seriously after what happened in the pit and learned that the Steelclaw wasn't in control of the boy, so he didn't have to worry about consequences.
But what still baffled him was Alyndra. Why did she give that order for Atrox to kill the outlaws? It made him uncomfortable because it was too targeted. 'But does it matter in the end? She wants him dead as much as I do, and this time, I'm going to have his head!'
Stowig hesitated. "But they've been lazing around since, not even trying to recruit people for their operation. The only difference was yesterday when they made trips in and out of the forest."
Fell narrowed his eyes. "Are they waiting for support from the Steelclaw?"
