352 Hunting

Wolfe and Grok crept through the woods, with the Goblin Paladin's armour clanking with his slightly clumsy steps. That was an essential part of the plan, as they needed to draw the snake's attention before the attack.

It was a massive magical creature, and Wolfe had no real experience telling how powerful they were exactly. Unlike Witches, who he could tell in an instant, he only got a sense of huge and powerful from the beast.

They were still ten metres away when the snake made its move, striking from a spot hidden in the trees while its lower body still lay across the road.
