Later that evening, Alex Roth opened his golem-building notebook, flipped to the page that had his list of potential names and crossed out Lord Smasho the First.

“What the hell?” Alex slowed to a stop on the darkening street.

Alex glanced around, watching as they entered weapon shops, restaurants, and other venues that provided arms and equipment.

“Well, it looks like hunt-mania is spreading,” a familiar voice said behind him.

Alex turned around to find Minervus; three of his golems were by the young man’s side, watching the crowd with their strangely doll-like eyes.

“Hunt-mania?” Alex asked.

“I see you weren’t in town this morning,” Minervus said. “The bounty on the mana vampire has risen again. The monster attacked a country noble’s son near the docks. The family has added their own reward for the monster’s destruction to the city’s bounty.” Minervus shook his head. “Fools. Still, I suppose it is tempting. Think you’ll go for it?” his voice had a detached tone to it, a cold neutrality.
