After a while, a group of men arrived with crates of all kinds, containing the Outsiders' reward.

"What about you, Beast Slayer?" asked one of the carriers. "No supplies for you and your kin?"

"While supplies certainly wouldn't hurt, I didn't come here to plead for resources. I am here because I need to investigate this situation further. This beast was clearly abnormal. It acted way out of the ordinary."

"So, what are you suggesting?"

"I don't know", he sighed and rolled his shoulders. "It makes me think that maybe... Nah, it's a stupid idea."

"Go on", said another of the carriers, curious to hear what a Beast Slayer had to say about the situation.

"Well, I just have this hunch that this attack... it felt... planned somehow. I don't know."

The two carriers looked at each other as if they had never heard anything like it before. A planned attack? That was unheard of. The Beasts were animals. Animals that only knew how to hunt, to eat, to sleep, to mate. There wasn't any real intelligence to them.

"Wait. Are you suggesting that something wanted Kilkreath destroyed?" one of them asked.

"Something", he repeated vaguely. "Or someone..."

The carriers glanced nervously at each other and then eyed the group of Outsiders suspiciously. Had the Outsiders finally found a way to finally destroy the City-Dwellers? That was their first thought. One of them even muttered something threatening as they dumped the crates in the snow and headed back inside of the city to keep themselves warm.

Ran'Jinro then turned back to the Outsiders, smiling. "You people should get yourself somewhere safe with these supplies", he suggested. "My apprentice and I will accompany you on whatever path you might take, in order to make sure no further of these strange creatures are lurking about. Then we must part."
