Ye boi! Now we can actually do the quest. You wanna head to those mines and finish up some side quests, or focus on the main objective? If we gather some materials, might even be able to make a weapon for one of us.

Yeah! I think it could be good to head to the mines. It's probably some ways away and we could always keep a vigilant eye and try to gather supplies/complete the main objective as we go to and from there. Oh, maybe we can gather some vines and use the hatchet to cut of a big piece of bark and we can use that as a makeshift sled to transport our supplies in lieu of a basket?
