[His thoughts are holy shit oh fuck oh my god, actually, but he'll leave that unstated.]
My only conclusion is that whatever came for them isn't finished down there yet. There's no other reason it wouldn't already be up here. It's foolish to think that the Night Market could've killed it on their own, but they might be holding it off. I don't expect that will last. From a tactical standpoint, it might be wiser to use whatever time they give us to prepare a defense, but then we risk losing the portal.
[And therefore their potential ability to get the hell out of here, so uh, no.]
I'd normally be the last person to say this, but it may be in our best interest to do as they ask.
