It seemed that Ash was sharing his own approach of not sharing Dalious' approach, Fyr noticed gladly as he got himself ready on the camel. Also a bit to his own surprise, the beast didn't buckle. It seemed to be strained quite a bit though because why else should it have felt the need to release the exquisite gases it had held in store for so long already just now ? They were moving forwards however, and the odour had been blown out backwards, so he was not affected by it really and left to enjoy the desert sun. He would have found it quite too hot under normal circumstances, but the many days below surface had taken its toll on pretty much everything -- including his muscles! That was to change quickly once he had enough access to real food instead of mushrooms, or at least so Fyr hoped.

[color=yellow]"I'd say these are the 5 gold pieces most quickly earned in my life so far, Ash!"[/color] Fyr called back happily. [color=yellow]"Or did you have any time limit in mind we need to go on before this challenge is completed ?"[/color] he double checked for any nasty backdoors she might have added to the bet silently. [color=yellow]"Or does my current constitution not count really ?"[/color] Fyr laughed before looking back ahead again.

In front of them seemed to be nothing but sand, blue skies and a layer of fluctuating air stuck somewhere in between. No other caverns at least, it seemed. The worry was real as experience dictated that caves tended to come in clusters and why should the slavers have stopped with just one source of their preferred export item ? That was assuming this idiotic mushroom mining operation hadn't been just a coverup for something much more sinister he still didn't truly understand.

[color=yellow]"So how long do you think it will take to get out of this place ?"[/color] he asked, not addressing anyone specifically.
