"That is indeed possible," Benedikt replies to Emil, mildly sounding impressed at the wizard's suggestion. "A sign to others in their organization... more likely, at least, than a man walking in his sleep," he says with the barest hint of a smirk. "And yes, they have ruining the trail, but what is life without challenges?" He raises his eyebrows. "They have only made our task more interesting."

The slayer's face turns grim as Eliazar begins to explain the situation in full to the town's sheriff. If Lorrimor had wanted the whole town to know, he would have made as much clear. He takes a half-step forward, crossing his arms. "Careful. We do not know who is listening. That our activities are best left unknown is good. We will have to trust in your discretion, Sheriff Caeler," the man says, giving the guard a drawn smile that does not reach his eyes, a hint of danger in his voice.
