We know damn well it’s not safe outside the city walls after dusk!’’ the single dwarf among them protested as he turned around to see if they were being followed, ‘‘D-Dean, we’re… we’re safe, right? I knew we shouldn’t have gone after that stupid Lichen-Fiend; we didn’t even catch the damn thing!’’

Rolling his eyes, the dwarf scoffed, ‘‘sure, we all want to know what smart-ass Harry thinks, the same guy that got us into this situation in the first place!’’

Morgan tugged on Dean’s coat, ‘‘w-what do we do?!’’ he asked, ‘‘they’re gonna kill it! And if they kill it, they’re gonna come straight for us!’’
