Beero Antozzo, leader of the Sap Slaves, stood quite straight up in front of Aniro Karin. Although slightly surprised to have been put directly in the presence of the Karin, his Matis pride had quickly returned and he was explaining the situation with as much precision as a rather confused situation would allow.
"One of our patrols began by noting an unusual stir among the fauna north of the Westgrove Stronghold. The wild beasts seemed to have multiplied."
The Karin nodded, inviting him to continue.
"But the most surprising report came to me from the eastern patrol. On the outskirts of the Ranger camp set up at the entrance to the tunnel leading to Silan, they observed several usually peaceful yelks behaving strangely."
Beero Antozzo fell silent to catch his breath... a little too long, so showing his turmoil inside.
"The patrollers have told me that they have seen these yelks moving around unmolested in a herd of jugulas and behaving like the most dangerous of these beasts. I have full confidence in the members of my tribe. They would not tell nonsense."
Beero Antozzo looked at the Karin.
"You did well to come and inform me promptly. I will drum up our Nobles and Subjects at once. Their troop will join you in your camp at the Grove of Confusion as early as the 24th of Folially(*). You will then set out together with the mission of finding the causes of this worrying phenomenon."
