Katryca's Hunting Party

Subterranean Security and Forced Containment Operations

Description

A tactical arm of Katryca's Village, this armed group operates as the community's hunter-warriors and enforcers. They patrol the tunnels and surface access points, controlling movement through armed blockades and threats. Their immediate hostility toward outsiders escalates when they perceive intrusion, as demonstrated by their confrontation with the Doctor's group. Fitted with crude but effective weapons, they prioritize containment and intimidation over negotiation, acting as both protectors of their sealed domain and merciless guardians against perceived threats.
