Blood in the Trade Routes
Victor, Lane, and Clara went to the adventurer's guild to pick up a subjugation quest. Since those quests were straight forward and for Victor's party pretty easy to do. All they needed to do in a subjugation quest was to kill all the monsters that are specified in the quest.
