Standing outside the cave, Aoni and Glacia kept their awareness up, watching for any signs of movement from either within the cave leading to the cavern or stragglers left over from the beast tide.
Although unlikely, since they seemed to charge in large packs toward the fort, Aoni wasn't taking any chances of falling into an ambush, and after 15 minutes, Nyria's voice entered the LoS.
{'Brother, it's a mess inside, there are too many buggies for me to count…'} her answer didn't surprise Aoni in the least, considering during their lessons they had only reached the 40s this morning, on the long hall to 100.
'More than 40, and its bugs; I'd be willing to bet the place is infested with those insects.' Kneeling beside the mouth of the cave with his back against the wall, Aoni thought about how to handle this situation rationally.
