Once the groups had sorted themselves out (for the most part), Deneb gave a quick nod and a quick 'good luck' to the rest of the players before beginning to walk towards the town's eastern gate. It was a bit odd that more people hadn't joined along to explore and scout, but if infrastructure was a higher priority, there would be no complaints from her.

"Oh, I should do this before we leave," she remarked, casually sending a party request to the healer as she passed through the walls proper. There was a part of the ninja telling her to turn her head back and check physically to see if she was following, but if the party function worked like she was expecting then that wouldn't be necessary.

If it didn't... Well, she could skip over trying to see an indicator on the minimap and just turn around then rather than wasting time otherwise.

[i]"Let me see if I remember properly... There are two stable mid-level dungeons situated to the northeast and southeast from here. The capital is further north, but that shouldn't be any worry while we're trying to secure the town. The only worrisome location near the town, then..."[/i]

"Viridian... Was it?" Deneb finally asked, stopping in place to examine the map she had laid out in front of her. "I'm going to head further east. It's off the main roads, so I'm expecting a lot of uneven terrain. Have you ever gone hiking, by any chance?"

It was a fair question, given that the ninja's shoes right now weren't exactly fit for traversing any sort of rough terrain. A change of shoes would be nice, but that would require leveling up a bit more...
