The demon scam

You continue on your way, looking everywhere for Merle. Suddenly, Naria stops and glances over her shoulder with a slight frown. "We have company..."

You turn around to see a whole pack of snarling demon-hyenas close in on you.

You bite your lip and then turn to Naria who is watching you, looking a little concerned. "They are no danger to ME..." she says, apparently implying there could be a problem for YOU though.
