Dal Shabet

-So, it can't move from its spot... Well, that's very valuable information, thank you. - Ratislav thanked the scout. -I'll gather a small group, and we'll uproot this plant, roots and all.
Tiriez was about to call for Paroxius, but he remembered that he hadn't returned from scouting yet. Then he turned to Horus, Kelenor, and Adrian with a proposal to destroy the vile creature.
-Listen, Horus, - Tiriez said to the expedition member, - I heard that you're quite good with pistols. Would you like to demonstrate that? We're heading north to the witch's lair, and your skills would be useful there.
-Kelenor, you know these lands like the back of your hand. And, as I see, you still yearn to eradicate the evil that lives in this forest. I'm going north with a group to put an end to the witch's evil deeds once and for all. You would be very helpful to us.
-Adrian, - the warrior finally turned to the wounded scout, - I know it's not easy for you right now, but without you, we'll never find the place where this creature has settled. Besides, even with one hand, you're still one of the best archers in our squad. Will you help us?
Tiriez decided not to take the other members of the group for several reasons. Agnet and Nemo had to stay in the camp in case of an attack by the natives, Gekhaj was still just an ordinary archaeologist without any special abilities for Ratislav, and as for Amos, something about this strange man repelled Tiriez. If everything was as Adrian said, destroying the witch-plant from a distance wouldn't be too difficult.

-Guys, explain to me, why do we need to kill it? Or did I misunderstand your intentions?

-Agnet, look at what it did to the one who tried to talk to it? - Ratislav pointed to what was left of Adrian's hand. -Next time, we'll only talk to it when it's begging us for mercy under a hail of our swords and bullets. Maybe it will even tell us the location of the building. Maybe.

Let's go, guys, time to earn our money!

Although, who knows, wait a minute. Shooting at a plant isn't exactly profitable.
But... we'll do it anyway.
