"Yes. They operate in bands called Hunts. Occasionally the name varies but the purpose is the same. One part unholy group, one part murderous band. They do have some rules. The young are left be, as are pregnant women." Bastian continues, "Usually the strongest and most charismatic leads them and only answers to Malar or his servants."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Rough idea of how many in a Hunt?"

[Anastasia]

"It varies. Usually at least 4 at a minimum, but dozens easily. Bigger groups can crack a hundred, but usually no more than that. They're not that unified," Bastian explains, "The bigger a Hunt is, the more capable the leader is."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Mmm... So, any suggestions?"

[Anastasia]

"Well, we'll run into those there if we go," Bastian says, "They're the enemy and we know what we do to the enemy."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa turns to Emily, "And what are your goals for this? What's the specific target?"

[Anastasia]

"Well, like I said, to Compete against him and progress," Emily says, "To face him and his and win. To overcome what he represents by what we represent."

[Iron Dragoon]

"And you think he'll just come out to face us if we show up? What's the plan to get him on the field?"

[Anastasia]

"For the moment, I mean more indirectly," A shake of Emily's head, "More of a plan to get out if he takes the field and it goes wrong."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Alright, then have you picked outposts to hit?"

[Anastasia]

"Yes, as I told you, I already have a location," Emily declares.

[Iron Dragoon]

"... And details of this place?"

[Anastasia]

"As I said the idea is to go to his wild places on Pandemonium and wreck havoc. I have a few solid locations there as well," Emily explains. "The Stalk Tower is the primary one I like."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods, "Tell me about it."

[Anastasia]

"Big tower, wind proofed, serves as a mustering place and respite for Malar's followers," Emily explains, "Take that down and it's a direct strike against them there. Downside is that'll be protected."
