It makes perfect sense:
SPOILERS, SPOILERS SPOILERS
Then a bunch of skeletons came down led by an owl and a weird mammal which tried to get a stick. A sprigg took the stick and attacked them, then ran away.
Now the head of the Skeletons dispatched a trio to get the stick back.
They then cast seeking magic to find the Sprigg.
It’s so simple I’m surprised you even need to ask.
