Everyone, Duck!
Those who belonged to the Factions of the Crystal Palace and Skystead Alliance didn't join Lux's group in reattempting the Gate of the Domain of the Fallen.
In their eyes, this was simply a wasted effort. However, they also wanted to see the suffering of the fools who decided to follow the Half-Elf, who had gone missing after they all entered the Dungeon the first time.
Although they knew that Lux was a Necromancer and could summon the Undead, they believed that his Undead Army would only get crushed under the might of the Overlord that was in command of the Monster Outbreak inside the Gate of Famine.
However, just as everyone was getting ready to watch a good show, Malcolm walked towards Aron and appealed to him, asking for permission to enter the Domain of the Fallen and join the Half-Elf in his quest to clear the Gate of Famine.
"You what?" Aron asked in a displeased tone.
"I want to challenge the Gate of Famine a second time," Malcolm replied.
