My bad.” Callavan apologized. “So, do we follow?”“I say we do,” The Hellthorn master suggested eagerly.“No. He evaded us once with the same trick, he can probably do it again,” Kalin pointed out. “We should have the hole sealed as soon as possible since the guild master doesn’t want this information to leak out to anyone.
