The caravan resumed its trip, and in a matter of a short couple of hours, it exited the forest. The adventurers and mercenaries were overjoyed to finally leave the awful forest behind them and arrive back in civilization.
Some wept silently for their lost friends that had lost their lives during the trip. The casualties for this trip were very low and it could be said that the caravan had done an amazing job making it out with so few dying after being attacked by such powerful enemies, but death was still a death.
Some bodies were not even recovered as the apes had smashed them to bits with their powerful arms. The lucky few that had died with intact or largely intact bodies were taken inside one of the carriages that transported the cores and put there for the time being.
The caravan now slowed down even further. They were out of danger and it was now time for everybody to relax and simply wait until they all reached Orsvald, which would take them about 3 more hours.
