We investigated the lakeshore until nightfall, gathering what information we could, and we made damn sure to be cautious about it. In the worst-case scenario, we might’ve run into some of the bull-kin, who could then call for reinforcements from their thirty or maybe fifty friends, in which case we’d be promptly trounced.

Every hunter and adventurer I knew thought these guys would be trickier to deal with than ogres, so we did not want to get caught unaware. We didn’t want to get caught in combat at all, actually—this was recon, nothing more.

Thankfully, everything went well, and we made it to nightfall without any bull.

“Are you nervous?” I asked Cassandra over our meal of jerky and steamed potatoes.

“I…yes, I am. I’ve never been this deep in the forest before.”

“This is my third time, and I promise it gets easier. The first time’s gonna be scary, though. It’s like that for everybody.”

“I’m sure.”

The entrance to the cave was a short distance away, yawning open on a bluff atop the hill—but I couldn’t let myself see it as a cave. No, we were looking at a dungeon now. If this were an anthill, there’d be lookouts posted at the entrance, but I didn’t see any here. I supposed it was still easy to mistake it for a mere cave, if you didn’t know any better.

We were taking breaks in shifts, waiting for night to fall and our exploration of the cave interior to begin.

“But honestly, I’m glad you’re here with me, Cassandra.”

“Do you really mean that?”

“You know how useful a good meal is when you’re out adventuring? None of these dorks know how to cook like you.”

And even if Nishka, Wak’wakgoro, or Elpaco could whip up a meal like my wifey, they needed to focus on resting up for fighting.

We all had our specialties, come to think of it. If it did come to violence, I had my smattering of karate, but I had been completely useless at the most hunterly skill of tracking.

Prince Camulla-ing was probably more of a hunter than I was, though no one would mistake him for a particularly stealthy type. The moment he put on his chainmail, he became too noisy to do any sneaking.

On the topic of covert operations, I asked Nishka whether it would be okay to light a fire while we were in the middle of our recon mission, since that would make it hard to keep our presence hidden.

“Should be fine. I get the sense they pretty much live in the caves and don’t ever really come out.” Nice as it was to warm myself by a fire and get some hot food in my belly, I still wasn’t so sure about the idea. Nishka just shrugged. “Hey, even if they do come out to see what’s up, that’s just more info for us. We’ll get a better sense of how many of them there are.”

Hearing Nishka say as much did a lot to reassure me. “I just hope we don’t raise suspicion.
