Jax's party fought two more monsters on the way back, defeating them rather easily. Before they could find the third one, they heard the sound of fighting.
There was another party close by.
Normally, if something like that happened, one party would leave to go elsewhere so that they didn't fall into some unnecessary conflict. This time, however, Sho walked directly toward them, while the others followed him without question.
Jax wasn't sure what was going on, so he followed them as well.
Arriving closer, Sho slowed down and so did everyone else. Once slowed, he waited for the sounds of fighting to stop.
It took 3 minutes for everything to come to an end, at which point he finally spoke up.
"We're approaching!"
When they arrived at the place where the party had fought, they were met with a group of 5 people, standing around the corpse of a Venomwing Hawk.
"What do you want?" a big man of the opposite party asked.
