After venting his temper for a while, the Vilebranch Troll Vanguard Commander summoned a large group of Vile Trolls and subjected them to another rambling tirade. Then the Vilebranch Trolls dispersed, each leading a small squad out to search again.
"They're still searching?" Yu Lin Bloodhawk thought these Vilebranch Trolls were being far too cautious.
