Aethion’s Theory, the Danger That Is Coming
As the group regrouped and tended to their wounds, they discussed their next steps. They knew they needed to find out more about the mysterious enemy and their plans. With the captured enemy member now under Aethion's watchful eye, they hoped to extract valuable information.
They had nothing to do except go back and wait for Aethion and his interrogation to bring them news. And with that, they set out, keeping a wary eye out for any further threats as they couldn't be completely certain that no other enemy was nearby. Along the way, they discussed what they had learned from the encounter.
The enemy was more powerful than they thought.
Just tonight, they had come across 3 regular Tier VI combatants, and although those three were not as powerful as they were from what they noticed, they were still a threat.
The fake Tier VI combatants, however, were something else.
