[b][u]War[/u][/b] It's shockingly easy to clear up the space, thanks to the fire you started, and assuming that you are not concerned with putting the fire out. If you are concerned with putting the fire out or any effects on the local ecology, then please scratch out "easy" and replace it with "horrendously difficult, actually." But, going on the assumption that the fire isn't an issue for you, the fact that you've changed sides, shot a marauder and generally made the space inhospitable for people who were trying to carry out a raid means that anybody who still had a mount has gotten as many allies as they can fit on that mount and then withdrawn from the battlefield towards the east. Your new allies, the leader of whom has introduced herself has Qiyun Woo of the Peoples who follow Sandrea (roughly translated) currently have a tactical interest in relocating away from the fire to assess their supplies and casualties. You do not yet know their operational objectives, but can discern that security from your previous comrades is likely high on their list, making you a potentially valuable source of intelligence (although your former allies did not share the location of their primary camp with you, only their nearby outpost located on the cliffs east of your current location at the southern edge of the deep valley cleft into the region by the earthquake in the past. They determined that this was likely secure due to the cliff protecting their backs and neither you nor they have familiarity with the hunting giant cliff lizards yet. You are, of course, free to determine what to volunteer to your allies. If it's little, then you can describe your focus as you accompany them roughly southwest along the coast to regroup. [u][b]Harvest[/b][/u] Once you begin following the cat, it begins moving and clearly has a route for you, heading almost due south away from the fire. You might expect this to simply be an instinctual escape path (and it is at least not parallel to the path that War is taking, causing the two of you to diverge in location). However, that expectation would be underestimating the great hunting cats of modernity. Where it actually takes you is into a fairly well-camouflaged cave network, leading down and branching in multiple directions. It doesn't go far, at least for the moment, but it clearly views the caves, full of damp moss and fungi as they are, as a safe place from the fire and a refuge for it. "I...think this might be where the traders come from sometimes" Ailee says, though she sounds hesitant. Maybe a best guess. If she's right, that would mean that these caves would take you into the Wal'nt tunnels somehow, cutting back around to the north underneath the fire.
