The Trollish Merchants turned west and left as soon as they were presentable again. They weren't rushing, but they weren't waiting around for something else to find them.
That left the surrounding area clear for the Spellblade clan to finish packing up and preparing to head east through the grasslands.
First, they just needed to warn the groups coming south that there was danger ahead so that they didn't walk right into the incident unprepared.
Karl jogged over when he saw a group coming, giving them plenty of time to slow down before reaching his team.
"There has been an incident south of here. There are Cyclops and Giant boars running rampant, and the army is trying to clear them up. We met the remains of a Trollish Merchant group this morning, and they lost everything, including half their team.
I wouldn't recommend that you go any further down the road. My people are going east instead," Karl warned the lead driver.
