Casting one final glance at the lake, the group, led by Emilia with the compass in hand, agreed to move on. As minutes blended into hours, the daylight began to fade.
Their journey was largely uneventful, apart from an encounter with a small band of kobolds who looked at them like they had found prey.
Lily, eager to engage, was halted by Lucius, who placed a hand out to stop her, considering it unnecessary.
Steven and three other members stepped forward to address the situation.
They managed to kill a few of the kobolds relatively quickly, gaining experience and sustaining only minor injuries in the process.
The other kobolds from that small pack ran away after being given a wake-up call, realizing not everyone had joined the fight.
Lucius decided to use his skill, 'Soothing Touch,' to help, revealing his healing ability.
