While Forell City was brimming with cheers, rumors, and murmurs after Tranton's and Hurman's announcements, Lambier raced off to reach the base camp as quickly as his feet and essence would carry him.
The group setting up camp had spent the past two days crossing the only clear road through the Taltin Mountains, the one naturally formed by decades of travel between the Prodson and Forell Territories. Not to the enjoyment of the small group, their trek through the mountains was easy and without a single beast or bandit sighting.
Likely, the cause of that was the gorilla leading the group in Hurman's absence. Hurdo, along with the predatory Thunder Jaguar and the daunting Shadow Drake, worked as a natural deterrent to anything that spotted him. Anyone that spotted such a group, and wasn't a high or peak-perennial, wouldn't dare to antagonize or approach them.
