The Dark Hive
The Dark Hive loses six field warriors in Alucarda, leaving infected Vrah and one male Zockau representative.
Story so far
Carl's Bloodlust potion causes one sister to decapitate another and later kill a second before dying. Rival fire, the Hob-Lobber, and Just Wait Until Your Daddy Gets Home eliminate the remaining warriors despite their explosive resistance.
Vrah escapes infected as the sole surviving warrior. The only other mantis on the floor is a male salesperson trapped in Zockau with the faction's accumulated trade inventory for nine more days.
Appearance
Reduced from a coordinated mantis hunting squad to one wounded flying huntress and one isolated male trader.
Role
The faction's sudden collapse creates an opportunity for Carl to seize its gear and deny Vrah a disease recipient.
