Sylvester Archipelago

Tough luck, guys.

The mercenaries could already hear the approaching Hysteros. Two of them burst out of the bushes, but before they could run a few meters, Lutiel was behind them.

[Lutiel deals 145*2=290 (crit.) damage to Hysteros 6 (death)
Lutiel deals 145*2=290 (crit.) damage to Hysteros 7 (death)]

The remaining Hysteros emerge from the bushes, but a woman's cry stops them.
- Halt, you scavengers!
The female Hysteros slowly emerges from the jungle, hands her axe to one of the young ones, and, ignoring the travelers who are ready to defend themselves, approaches Lutiel.
- You sly fox! - she exclaims happily and hugs Lutiel.
- I'm glad to see you too, Alekta.
- What are you doing here? Hiding contraband?
- No. I'm waiting for my trading partners.
- I see.
- Sorry about your men. I thought they were pirates.
- Don't worry. I have plenty more pups at home. And I brought these ones out for a walk. I thought they might be able to snag a couple of wild women. But it seems they managed to hide somewhere...
- They stole my boats and sailed away.
- So be it! These whelps didn't deserve the trophies anyway. What are you standing around for?! - she said to the young Hysteros. - Gather the bodies of your brothers and do as you should! Don't forget about those who died in the settlement! It seems we didn't finish one thing last time... Will you come to our port? - she asked Lutiel in a playful tone.
- Of course! As soon as I wait for my partners, I'll head to you right away.
- That's good. Then we'll go. See you later.
- See you later.
The Hysteros took the bodies of their fallen comrades and headed to the other end of the island, where their boats and ship remained.
