It didn't feel coordinated. I don't think they're far above animals in how they think, and they don't have weapons or tools, just teeth and claws. The sort of thing that shouldn't be hard to deal with, but when you're in the trees, the darkness really closes in. Makes it hard to keep up with your enemies, especially when there's lots of them.

[But those sorts of questions that Soldat here is asking are the kind asked by someone used to fighting. So that's good, that's helpful - they need that, after their losses. So many of the people who knew their way around a battlefield were overwhelmed all the same, but nobody was expecting the forest full of creatures to turn on them so suddenly and so violently.]

You must have previous combat experience, huh? Military?

[Hopefully military. Someone who knows how to take orders and work with others. The last thing they need are mercenaries who want to run in alone.]
