"Yes," Hakata agrees with Kadosh. "Followings travel here from all over the realm. Surely we can find someone with tales of something so unusual."

Hurray, we lived!

"Good riddance to a tyrant, and now we can finally get the following moving," Hakata reflects on the victory over Ashen Vale. He looks off to the west, straining his eyes to scan for smoke in the distance.

"We haven't even found his hoard!" a puzzled Hakata shoots at the goblin. "Go for the eyes"

"What is sacrilege to that dragon is likely sacred to the benign spirits here. Our people will provide a distraction, though they are not fighters. We must also provide for their safety," Hakata agrees.

"We were, and are, happy to help you. We know all to well what it is not to feel safe with one's following," Hakata assures Nukiak.

If the necromancer I'm hunting goes down, I'll Hunt Prey on a new one instead of shooting a 3rd time.

Hakata gently lays the woman down on a cloak and tries to make her comfortable. He looks across the room to Veshka and raises an eyebrow, wondering if the scarred warrior would be able to help.

"We're here to stop Turkek," he assures the former prisoner.
