Three days later...
Minos' group was currently being attacked by competitors who had entered The Obsidian Shore for more or less the same reasons as themselves: to take advantage of the opportunities in the area.
Level 99, 100, and 101 creatures were attacking them, while some of the monsters in the area were taking part in the attack under the influence of these creatures.
You might think that Minos' party would be able to deal easily with these threats, but things weren't that simple!
Minos was still not 100%, while the sacrifice of her Flashdrain severely weakened Ruth. Almost the entire party was wounded from the battle they had fought against mid-level Sovereigns to escape the previous area where they had collected the Black Heart mission objective.
As a result, even creatures weaker than those they had recently defeated were able to pressure them!
