Chapter 8: Ch. 7 – First Contact

Not only at the village entrance but also further in I see several people arguing, others running in a half panic around; something is clearly going on.

(Doesn’t seem like I’m the cause of the commotion. They are not running straight away from me nor at me to attack), I note.
(Some of the people have the fear status, others panic and there are some wounds inflicted by monsters on some of the guard looking guys. The palisades are damaged by monsters as well.)
(How did you figure all of that out so quickly?)
([Appraise])
(*sigh* I’ll need to get used to these cheats. Continue like this and I’ll believe that everything is on easy mode in this world, well, maybe except the monsters. So? What exactly does that tell us?)

(Dunno. Let me think about it some more.)
All that build-up and no payoff, thanks.

As I walk through the village entrance I look around. I don’t see any corpses but a faint smell of blood is in the air, smells kinda delicious – please tell me I won’t lose control over myself when that stench gets stronger. No not stench, it smells rather sweet, not like the blood smell I was used to.

Elly has arrived at a conclusion, (Gzeph mentioned regular occurrences of monster floods, maybe there were signs of one starting soon?)
(Of course it will, what other timing could I have), I frown.

Suddenly a hand grabs me from behind and tries to drag me along, “please we need your help!”
“Hey, hold up, what’s going on?!”

After a few steps, the hand lets go and I can have a look at who tried to kidnap me. Before me stands a half panicked boy armed with a bow and an anxious-looking girl with a spear. Apart from a mane and tail, the boy looks human.
