What do you mean?

Like who are they (as in how many)

Or like...WHY haven't we burned them because that is what hunters do and what makes them so important that we haven't killed them?

<Snipped quote by Ellion>

I'm actually quite curious about this point. The hunters had every opportunity to kill the visible witch (Shai) at any point in the melee, so much so that one could've easily cut her down and called collateral damage.

<Snipped quote by Xiro Zean>

I could imagine that it's because char kill is neither allowed (so far, in general without explicit agreement I think) nor a desired action (at least that's what I'd expect). However once any hunter recognizes her as a witch, he's basically obliged to do exactly that. So the alternative choice is to not discover her in the first place.

For my part I can add that my character is not necessarily a hunter yet. He has great anger against gnomes because they destroyed his home, but his own biography already bringts him close enough to witches that he is more open minded at not entirely preset. At least that's his current mindset which could be subject to change as the roleplay progresses.

Coming back to the reason I've stated previously, there is one obvious, additional question: Why did Shai decide to go into the lion's cave if it's so risky ?

@Dark Light
I'll wait for Ellion to make her reply first before I make mine if that's okay ?

Jared need's a tankard from Abi so slam it onto Kyzler's head for this 'Beanpole!' callout (just kidding)
