"From the words of the witnesses, it sounds like a fairly lost challenge. What say you, Elder Blackwoods? Is that what happened?"
The Lycan nodded. "They tried for an abduction, and found out that they could not defeat the Golem Mistress in combat. Five on one, they still lost. Well, I should say six on one, but the spider killed one of them before sitting out the rest of the fight."
The Guard Elder nodded. "And where are the bodies?"
The Lycan shrugged. "Probably lost into interdimensional space when the pocket dimension was closed? They didn't come back with us."
It wouldn't have mattered much if they did. Most of the soul was already siphoned away, and the bodies were completely mutilated before Rae finished with them. But he would leave the little details out.
The crowd didn't need to know that part, it would only make them less sympathetic to the Skill Book maker, and his pack could use a few more books in the near future.
