The team headed back into the swamp in pursuit of the creatures and their would be captors. After a couple of days, they picked up the tracks of two of the creatures and began pursuing them. After half a day they found where other humans were also tracking them and they redoubled their efforts to find the creatures.
The two creatures split up as they approached a cave. There were signs that the other team of hunters had been there too. As the group moved up a man ran out of the cave only to die in a hail of fire. The party began lobbing fireballs into the cave, eventually killing two females by sword and spell.
The sounds of the returning males sent the team scurrying for cover to establish a good ambush. One male was killed quickly and, as the group pondered following the other male and the men who had pursued him, the men were seen returning. Several members of the team hid, others disguised themselves and all of them waited for the returning soldiers.
As the soldiers of the dark ones returned the attack was launched. Moments later the team was again victorious.
