But Calvin's intuition, honed over years on the battlefield, told him the danger wasn't gone. He didn't order the troops to advance. Instead, he had the rogues inspect the seemingly normal ground ahead more carefully.
And sure enough, the inspection turned up a problem!
A rogue gently inserted a probe into the soft earth, his instrument touching a soft, springy mass.
He carefully scraped away the topsoil, revealing several masterfully camouflaged clumps of Gel underneath.
Before anyone around him could even register what they were looking at, Calvin's pupils contracted. He instantly ripped open two prepared protection Scrolls.
[Bloodthorn Shield]
A crimson Magic Radiance instantly enveloped the rogues at the front of the formation.
The clumps of Gel suddenly flared with a blinding red light and swelled rapidly.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
