The two sat in silence for a moment, then Tessa's eyes suddenly shone red, and she stood up on the ledge in front of the seat.
"There is a battle ahead. Thor, can you move faster without disrupting the carriage?" She demanded.
Thor snorted, and moved from a casual walk to a trot.
In the soft sand, the carriage was still gliding fairly smoothly, and Thor increased his speed a bit more, until the wheels began to slide on the sand instead of rolling smoothly.
It took a few minutes before they got close enough that Karl could sense the battle, but Hawk had flown up to scout.
[Dwarves and Beastkin on one side. I don't know what the other things are, but they don't look tasty.] Hawk updated.
That didn't help much, but as they approached, Karl noticed something very strange. The army was clearly fighting what looked like a Monster Spawn, centred around an anomaly ten kilometres from the battle, but the monsters they were fighting were all Undead.
