The warriors, still buzzing with righteous fury, immediately fell silent.
"What? What is it?!"
"Is there another grievance we should know about!?"
"Tell us who wronged her! We'll ask Commander Ragnora to deal with them personally!"
But Cassius shook his head.
"It's nothing like that." He paused, letting the anticipation build to a fever pitch.
"Do you know why the Sinful Sorceress has finally emerged from her long solitude and traveled all the way to these remote mountains?"
The squad went completely quiet, leaning in with wide, expectant eyes.
Cassius extended his arm, pointing dramatically at the surrounded squad.
"She came...to save all of you."
A collective gasp echoed through the clearing.
"Save...us?" A Beastkin whispered. "Didn't she already save us from the wolves?"
"Wait—" A mage's eyes went impossibly wide. "Don't tell me...did she predict the future somehow?"
"Did she use some kind of divination spell and know that we were going to be in danger?!"
