"The healer group is setting camp nearby. I will start to investigate. You need to tell me what has happened." The focus and intensity of Walker's words didn't come from panic or fear, they came from confidence.
The guards hearing him come in with this instantly latched on to their confidence.
It was easy to recognize him, they knew that Walker and the healer group were arriving today and one of the further guard patrols had seen them in the distance delivering the news that the group would be arriving in a couple of hours.
However, since then there had been more disappearances and damage found on the nearby farms, the panic had grown. It had become an issue forced to the front because the local farmers believed that they were at risk.
No, they knew that they were at risk and needed to do something now or else they would lose their livelihood and other neighbors they cared for.
"You are a hero! Help us!"
"Make the monster give us back our family!"
