A Familiar Tactic II

They entered the cave, and after walking inside, they soon got to an intersection. This was all too familiar, and followed the path five more groups followed. 

They didn't walk far before they heard the scream of a person. It was clear that he was suffering from unimaginable pain. 

Grey shook his head before spreading out his spiritual senses. He noticed the array in the cave easily, unlike the last time. After looking at it, he realized that he could tamper with it and the old man wouldn't even be able to realize it. 

He decided to slightly delay the activation of the traps. This way, the people would get to figure out that an attack was coming. 

He didn't want people to die when he could easily kill the old man. Naturally people would die anyway, but he wanted to reduce it as much as possible. After all, everyone here had a family, even those who didn't might have someone waiting for them.
