"Where nest?"

Bardeelus and the team managed to gather up fifteen villagers, and reconfirmed that the whole village they came from, was destroyed. They didn't know these people at all, and the town of Artakam was tens of kilometers away, so it was unlikely that anyone from the team's close-family got hurt here. Nevertheless, they still had to help them! 

These were just random villagers, who got attacked by a monster, and they certainly didn't have any life savings to buy a new house, somewhere within a safe city or anything like that. Their homes were destroyed, they weren't safe here at all, and eye-witnesses even confirmed that the monster ate a handful of people. 

It killed seven villagers, to be precise, while most managed to flee! There was no going back there. The villagers which the team managed to gather up, reconfirmed that about twenty more of their friends and families were still fleeing across the forest.
