Most of the crew seems to accept your reasoning, with Hurrik especially eager to be off the ship so he can go exploring. Hector finished eating Derrick's fish pie as Johnathan went back below deck to grab his gear. "Aye aye captain. I'll make sure the lads are in fighting shape soon enough." Tayang says as he pockets the money. "Ya heard the captain! You salty dogs are getting a promotion, and that means yer gunna have to carry your weight! Get off your duffs, we got work to do." Before long Tayang, Kulee, Derrick, and Oliver leave the ship to go buy those boats and upgrade their skills and gear. Once Johnathan came back up, your group was effectively ready to go. Hector adjusted his armor as he turned to you. "Aight, suppose I ought to lead the team back to the cliff, yeah Captain? It'll be a bit of a walk, about an hour south. Frankly I'm surprised Tayang woke us up first, considering all the noise he made into the twilight, but that's Tayang for ya..."

Once all preparations were made, the group would head south. Sure enough it was a bit of a trek: there was a road that lead south but than turned off towards the east, and the path Hector knew required them to go off the road and into a forest. “What takes the longest to reach that cliff is going through the woods. Neither me nor the others found a good path through that was easy or quick, so enjoy walking in the dirt road while you can.” Hector said as they walked out from the South Gate.
