Vah’lux returned the human’s nod with a formal salute of her people, bringing a clenched fist to her chest, along with a slight bow. Quentin seemed, more so than the others at times, simultaneously full of the rage and regret, which perhaps fueled his combat prowess. And while the reckless charge did uproot the obscured dire rats, the woman hoped for the human’s sake that it was not his modus operandi.

The weight of the Wild Elf’s judgement on the whole of the situation could be felt by the Goliath, even from a quick glance in her direction. Vah’lux certainly took no pleasure in dispatching such creatures, as they too belong to the world in life as well as in death. However, survival was also key, especially for one from a tribe of pseudo-giant nomads whose existence was slowly dwindling with every moon. As for the creatures who have attacked in a group twice since they arrived, there very well could be more. 

The thought of having to return to town, however, even for healing, did not sit well with Vah’lux as they needed to move on. To progress. But, the bite of filthy vermin such as what they experienced could have a long term negative effects if not attended to properly.

Gorosk’s inquiry, however, elicited a response from the Goliath...

“Rats are social creatures, and breed at an exceptional rate if left unchecked.” She started, her husky voice carrying through the breeze, as her keen eyes kept watch for any further threats along the way. “They’ve been around for as long as the world, and adapt quickly to the ever-changing environments. And as humans and other races began populating, so did these creatures find it necessary to change their behavior in order to survive. Essentially, they go where the food, shelter, and warmth is most prevalent. Any other reason would be beyond my knowledge…”
