Using prestidigitation to clean it and then return it into quiver. He let Arty and Uxia talk and then Myranda slew the last dretch and end discussion using that dretch as a bait. As Ian joins in and Arty corrects him he nods and adds; "Arty is right, they weren't merely used low tier magic but higher one. In summoning outsiders there is two ways to summon them; conjuring them and calling them. Conjuring is most used method; temporally summon them on material plane to join into battle as cannon fodder or as overall try overwhelm your enemies with numbers and they do not last longer than minute or two at best unless your specialist on such magic.<br/><br/>But even so with specialist you got no time to disguise your summons, so these abyssal critters had been called, which is much more powerful magic. Sort what archmages pull off and even then not often as you need bind them to a task and it's contest of will to subdue demons or any outsiders that way. However dretch is lowest abyssal denizen so it is rather easy to subdue but there is no limit how many dretches you can call and bully. Besides time, as even with calling you can bind them for a year and day for open ended task. Or decades or centuries for specific task which is not risky. Or as Arty mentioned there could be powerful demon calling in dretches through gate or demonic gate being open somewhere.<br/><br/>But we should check the rest of caravan as this group of dretches was targeting us and by noise what was made there is lot more around. We can discuss more once battle is over."
