[Good evening, explorers! After departing from Cair Paradisa, the path was south at first, but turned west fairly early on. Skirting well south of Eldritch Forest, the travelers had camped near the edge of the Amber Steppe, not quite within sight of the forest that marks the Totem Coast. The grasses are parched brown by the heat, though greener patches mark the presence of water. It's near one of these - a small, bubbling stream leading west that Raine has chosen to follow as it will almost certainly run into the river marked on her map - that the travelers have made their camp.

The carts and wagons are arranged in a defensive circle, though the campers are free to set up their tents outside them as well as inside wher ethe rest of them are. There are small cooking fires scattered around as well as a large bonfire in the center for socializing.

Play music? Sing? Teach those poor non-Earth kids how to make s'mores? Or just sit around and socialize with others.

Or hide in your tent and ignore everyone, if you really want to.]

An upside to the Dead Zone. I've heard temporary losses don't affect anyone once they've crossed the border.

[youfallback]

I've heard that too. It'd still make getting out here a little difficult. [Or getting prepared, really, if someone was a dog or cat of some kind.]

[gevurah]

Agreed. Last thing we need is someone else hindering our travel plans.

It's been smooth sailing so far. [ Which has her on high alert, in all honesty. ]

[youfallback]

We didn't hit any major hitches on the last expedition until we got to our destination. Could be the same here. [Which will make Carolina much more careful once they get into any caves or cave systems. She definitely doesn't want another cave-in.]

[gevurah]

If there's anything tailing us then, it won't make itself known until we're completely off guard.

Just getting off hiatus! I totally understand if it's too late to backtag! <3

[Carolina nods evenly, considering their options.]

The watches should help keep us safe for now while we're still in familiar territory.
