Chapter 27
I feel the pull towards the New North much stronger now. We are getting closer with every step. I just need to keep my people alive until we reach it. And I know that once we do, we will be safe.
We walk through an open field now and I am feeling more hopeful. People behind me are talking and I even hear laughter here and there. We just need to push a little further, survive for a little longer. I am under no illusions, though, I know we are very far from safe yet.
And as we walk, the mist is getting stronger. Before we know it, we are enveloped by the mist. I can’t see anything or anyone around me. I hear panicked voices and I tell them to stay where they are. I will have to find them one by one again and lead them out of the mist.
Quest: Find your people in the mist and lead them out.
Find Survivors / Sets
Optional subquest: Getting through the mist was almost impossible. To make it easier for other groups that may take this path I could build a guide. Big, heavy rocks linked together by thick vines. Luckily there is plentiful supply of both lying around us. The thing is I am not sure how stable this landscape is. It may mean that another shift could entirely destroy our work. Or, we could end up saving many more people’s lives. Decision time.
