A wealthy Skull Empire hunter whose lightning ambush is reflected by the All-Tree and kills him.
The Talent is an offworld Hunter associated with The Skull Empire. He attacks Signet's force with a Lightning scroll without understanding The All-Tree's protection. The spell rebounds, killing him and another hunter.
Carl claims the body and Donut inventories it, finding additional Lightning scrolls, roughly seventy-five thousand gold, and an undocumented credit chit.
A large, hairy orc hunter in offworld combat gear, left burned and dead beside the ruined tree.
The Talent demonstrates both the hunters' resources and their dangerous ignorance of local magical defenses.
