History

Clare searches Hanel for Raki. At local inn, she discovers Claymores are in town.

Up from her room, Clare sees four Claymore walking past the inn. The leader, Jean, almosts spots her, despite Clare's yoki-suppressing pills.

Jean leads an Awakened Being Hunting Party to Mount Zakol, site of an abandoned castle—the "Witch's Maw"—hideout of Riful of the West, and her consort, Dauf.

Town has a Teresa and Clare statue on display, where Clare is told by a young girl that Raki was in town, asking questions about the statue.

Their talk is interrupted—a fatally wounded Claymore, Raquel, reaches town and begs Clare to save the hunting party. Clare journeys to Mount Zakol.
