Thankfully, Imgor found no hostile creatures in a large radius, and Joshua answered Alex's question, "Yes, you can do that now, but please, please, work together on this and make sure you're all absolutely prepared, yes? The creatures here are no Plagued, but they're still mighty dangerous collectively. Especially in groups! The further you are from the road, the more likely you'll find something dangerous. But that might be what you want, hmm?".

"Oh, and Imgor, I'm afraid I have no idea how you'd communicate a delay to the spirits, I'm sure someone in Oakstown knows, probably the Duke's wizard or something. You could trail back really quick and ask? And about strange creatures, I have heard reports of some sort of 'tunneler' creature, 'Carrion Tunnelers' I think they're called. I have no idea what those are, but it sounds mighty powerful! I think you'll know it when you see it."

"Run along now, dominate or befriend whatever you wish!"
