In the eerie silence that followed the arrow's passage, Korig and Aurora exchanged words through the earpiece, their voices carrying a weight of tension that matched the gravity of their situation.

"We need to find out who's shooting those arrows and why."
"Our experience points are on the line."
The thought of losing the hard earned rewards of their battles was enough to fuel their determination.
They couldn't afford to be sitting ducks.
"We need to flush them out somehow," Aurora suggested, her analytical mind already at work.
"But we have to be careful."
"They've got the advantage of cover and height."
Korig nodded, his eyes never leaving the surroundings.
"I've got an idea. We'll use distractions to draw their fire."
