"Some of the things you mention show just how little you know about us." Raldel started. "First off, there are very few way that they could attack us indirectly. We can see anything approaching above ground for quite a way beyond the extent of even your vision, and our water supply is under the mountain itself. As for the creatures we hunt... If they mess with that, we will simply hunt them. It has actually been a very useful tactic in the wars of the past to eat the corpses of our enemies, as it gives us another source of food and strikes fear into the enemy." Raldel smiled as he said the last part and continued. "Of course, the other questions you asked cannot be answered unless we were to actually confront this enemy ourselves."
