Azemo did not really know his cardinal directions. Especially in a cave with artificial lighting, Azemo had no idea which way was south. Meaning, he was hopelessly lost.
At first, Azemo walked towards a pair of mountains thinking they were his destination when another group of mountains rose into view. Azemo groaned as he realized it was going to take him a while to find the fancy, Shrouded Path.
On the first mountain he went to, Azemo ended up fighting a huge snow monster. At first it was a difficult battle, but Azemo was able to use his superior mobility to dance around the monster slowly wearing it down. It was like the old days when Azemo did not have a million different weapons.
As the monster stopped fighting back, Azemo decided to see if it could talk. He didn't expect it to be able to because most dungeon created humans couldn't even talk and humans did not know about the monster language.
