"A single junior?" A rank 8 runesmith said as he directed a glance towards Karag Anvilheart, seated a few walks across them in the guest lounge.
"He's the only one here?" another said.
"Well, the rank 7 runesmiths in the empire are all scared to come here. They say vimodials strike almost every month at random times. I commend his courage. But he can't do much alone."
"Seriously, I hope we don't end up dying for taking on this mission."
"Right, we need the money. We have already decided. There's no turning back now, even if there's a risk of dying."
The rank 8 runesmiths discussed among themselves.

However, there were none so far. But he would not let his guard down.
Suddenly, a vampire woman radiating an air of authority appeared before them.
The woman was the head of the outpost.
