Allanon drilled for about an hour before returning to the cave. He was well prepared for the bloodshed that was soon to come. He hoped he was not too late to rescue the captives at the Calabris base. He did not like the idea of camping out before striking their base, but if it meant getting help rather than going solo he was fine with it. This would increase the odds of success. He also missed working with a team even if this was temporary.

He settled down in as defensible a spot as possible and settled into a light sleep as soon as all conversation died down. He held a peace-bound golden sword and his ebony sword in his lap as he rested. Ready to draw it in the instant he was disturbed.
