<span class="bbc_u"><strong>Update</strong></span><br/><br/>As Arty looks normal senses and magical, he sees that mercenaries aren't faring well. He is not seeing planar energy explosions so mercenaries are failing, hard, on defeating dretches. His senses allow see that there is at least twenty if not more dretches as they clearly outnumber mercenaries double or triple in number! But what is curious he sees one pair of dretches, dragging a injured and unconscious mercenary thug (not dead), into the woods. Then it starts click to Arty; the dretches may not be after goods, but<em>people</em>themselves! This is nothing of short of similar raids what slavers do in general.....expect they are using disguised dretches. Some mercenaries ran screaming away but dretches do not pursue them, instead focusing to clean up the task and kidnap people.<br/><br/>In magic wise besides couple spells cast by mercenaries (nothing above first tier) there was no magic coming from woods nor dretches.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Ian only</div><div class="spoiler_body">As you stand and watch how rest camp is doing, your special senses (those able detect undead) trigger and inform you something big hiding in the woods. Besides knowing it's at least huge in size you have no idea what it is. But it recently moved in and now remains immobile and your senses also see dretches heading towards it (with mercenary bodies).</div></div>
