This is a troupe of pig-headed humans.
They pant heavily from the recent battle, their eyes are crimson as they glare at the surrounding skeleton soldiers.
They are a merchant group from a village.
They were on their way to exchange and sell the goods from their village at the 'Manim Orc Market'.
On their way here, they noticed this territory and the bulk of supplies corralled by wooden fences beyond it.
The greedy pig-headed humans concocted a devious plan to steal some goods and sell them at a generous price in the market.
Unbeknownst to them, they were discovered by the patrolling skeleton soldiers while pilfering the resources.
The battle ensued.
The intense combat attracted the other nearby skeleton soldiers.
By the time the pig-headed humans were able to react, they were already surrounded by an alarming number of skeletons.
Regardless of how much they retaliated, they could not break the encirclement.
