*The man would speak up.*

"Everyone is safe, except for just a few burns. It's obvious they did this as a warning."

*A few buildings would remain standing. People could be seen inside them.*

"As you can tell, they are fire mages. However, they're also decent at normal combat as well. The other villages are far from here. We're the first. My burn will heal in time."

*Fortunately, the burn didn't seem serious.*

"If this was a 'warning', i'd hate to see a full on attack... Fire mages? Huh, seems like every cult now and days has a thing for fire... Or they're all just one *Big* Cult... Okay, one more question; do you know their general location?"
*The elf would stand patiently, waiting for a response. The last cult he'd slaughtered also used fire magic, so could they be connected? Who knew really, this web was only known to the spider who made it after all.*

*Turning back to his allies, he would take note of their abilities for tracking. After all, if the villagers didn't know the cult's location, then we'd have to track them. Mai could make use of her panther form for tracking, as she did when we went after Styx. Amsu was an unknown, since they'd never fought together with/against each other. And finally the bunny man... Maybe those big bunny ears could do something, the elf wasn't sure as to what though.*

Mostly just lost in his thoughts Alder continued to fiddle with his ears, apparently a habit of his. His usually quite chipper attitude rather dampened by the scen before him. 

Looking around and the goup that he had landed with he hoped the were a bit more.. Preared for this than him. He wanted to help but he wasn't much of a fighter himself. Mostly being a healer with some experience hunting and weapons for self defence..

"I already had a mission with a group. We had to kill some cultists, but I don't remember they had fire magic... Oh how I hate that kind of magic."

Mai sighed with a tone of mild annoyance, one of her hands resting on her cheek, where she had been burned from her last mission. Although it was not serious, her skin was still a little different, but it was almost completely recovered. She removed her hand from her face after rubbing her cheek for a moment, placing her hand on her hip as she waited for the man's response to Horace. There were not many questions to ask, since the elf had already asked everything.
John
*Amsu was pretty satisfied with that answer, it was good to know that there wouldn't be hostages or any unnecessary risks during the quest. The question of where they had set up was good, but he decided to speak up...*

"On the question of where they are, could we also get a rough number on how many there were? If it were mages, then it wouldn't take too many to burn down a village... But it would also be a waste. People plundering to take any items of worth, or gold?"
Pablo
*The man nodded.*

"They are up north. 5 miles from here."

"There was also about 3 cultists, and a leader."
