When the scrying spell failed to show the recruits' location, Lucen knew something had gone wrong.
He informed Harlik of the location and told him to quicken the pace of Thornefang. After giving his order, Lucen darted forward ahead of the group.
When he got near the area, the smell of blood hit him first, thick, metallic, choking in the cold air. The forest was too quiet, the kind of silence that swallowed even the wind.
Lucen moved faster, and when he got to the place, he saw two monsters that he immediately identified.
Wendigos, or in this case, dire wendigos. These monsters were based on a similar being with the same name, back in his past life.
Still, those things were different from the malevolent spirit in his past life, but flesh-and-bone nightmares that wore hunger like armor.
In the game, these things were mid-boss-type monsters with high health and regeneration. Lucen created his favorite revolver in his hand and shot at the two monsters right at their heads.
