Jack allowed his chin to tip towards his chest as he considered the words. This creature had survived an encounter with a brain-addled werewolf, which meant this one was either well prepared or just plain tough. That ranked it higher on the list of creatures that this one could be, so perhaps one of the very rare ones.
Still, the information that the wolf wasn't here meant very little to him. The mines were deep and went into multiple countries at one point, but when the various territory wars had broke out, it had been blocked and booby trapped in many shafts to take down whole armies. Now there were so many magical traps it wasn't worth the effort to take an army through. Single people could make it if they were careful or knew how to deal with traps.
"So you're forcing me to go around to another entrance rather than allow me to pass through?" He shook his head, fingers tightening on his wound which had finally stopped bleeding. "I also count on it smelling me. Better me than the villages."

Jack had no problem being both carrot and stick.
