I left. Sayonara starter village. Daeris is still standing on a floating rock with a decent amount of snakes and pheasants beneath her. Sparky and Merc are there as well. Your newest teammate is cutting through snakes like he's been doing it since he was five.

I'm considering arbitrarily jumping ahead a few days. Since nobody else seems interested in continuing where we are. But since Cantide is back, it would be his call.
