Neverwinter Forest Are we heroes or weapons pointed at the enemy so someone else can claim the victory?

Fade-ish here? Scimitar doesn't even realize Lucy and Rannoch are missing until this thread.

The wolf's request was not necessarily unwarranted, and so the large wolf dipped his muzzle, turning to lead the way toward the usual hideout of the children. He did not yet know that Cypress was warning the girl -- that they took the visitor as a threat. He did not yet realize they would sneak away f om the adults, and so as moments passed, and the children were nowhere to be found, his own heart began to stir with worry.
 
When he looked to the den and they were not there, the wolf turned to the dark boy, offering a gentle nod. "She's around -- likely off playing with my two boys. Tell her parents of their daughter's whereabouts -- she will probably be ecstatic to be reunited with them once she realizes they have come for her."
 
He felt that was dismissal enough -- they could scour the large forest all afternoon to find what he considered children playing, but they only wasted more time.
