Not long after their short incursion with the skeletons, the settlement of Hackdirt appeared in the distance, causing Makoru to inhale sharply. Plumes of black smoke were curling up from the burning buildings, but aside from the roar of the flames, the village was silent. Mannimarco had apparently taken no prisoners when he destroyed the small town.

"Dear Mara, no..." Jack gasped, completely dumbstruck. If the King of Worms had gained enough power to do this, he couldn't imagine the power Mannimarco would wield once he had his staff back. Claudius was quiet for a moment, taking in the sheer power of the Worm King.

"Enough! We can mourn for the fallen later. Now c'mon!" Makoru barked after a moment of silence, drawing Bloodharvest and darting towards the burning village in hopes of reaching the mines before Mannimarco, which was foolish considering the Worm King had obviously beat them to their destination.
