On Guard.

Hey Berin! What do you think they've been burying here? - Asher

Huh. Bodies, most likely. Thorn pricked, I'd guess. They sure aren't staying in the ground long. - Berin

The Ogre has some gaul in blaming the wack creatures showing up in Faelan on the Thinning. Seems like he's making most of them himself with this Hedge of his. - A

Well now, that's the way it is for most. Brambles that get erected to keep the hard things out tend to create more hard things. Best to deal up front and direct. Even if you're more exposed. But most won't risk it. Better, they think, to get you before you get me. They live in both defense and on the attack. There's no down time when you shoot first.  And no time for asking questions later. You're too busy weaving Brambles and dealing with the corpses that only come back to haunt you. - B
