“It’s a pity for the Furies,” the lord said, looking around cautiously. “But I don’t want to share their fate. If there were more of us, I would consider raiding that camp, but as it is… avoiding them is already a good thing. Going through that door is deadly. I’m for returning to the city.”
It’s not cowardice, but caution! Please don’t confuse the two! We need to get stronger. We should visit the hot springs, hire a hundred or so mercenaries, and then we’ll be in good shape.
