As they traveled towards the border the Dark Sun Empire shared with the Red Moon Empire, Lyle, Nicholas, and their companions encountered no challenges along the way, except for some minor issues. They faced some hostile monsters that tried attacking them, only to run away upon sensing their auras, and even encountered a few groups of bandits who tried to ambush them.
They rarely went after the monsters as most were too weak for them to even spare a second glance toward, but they slaughtered all the bandits as some were dumb enough to continue staring at them even after sensing their powers.
They didn't want to leave the bandits alone, lest they spread the word of a group of 24 people traveling through the empire, possibly alerting Basen and his group.
