Withdrawal

Samuel and the other adventurers were eventually reunited. All of the ones that had survived managed to make their way back down the correct path.

The first thing that happened after Samuel met the others was that the now awake Clarys healed him. She had become conscious not too long after the young mage started to drag her body across the ground.

He had quickly briefed her on the situation and she decided to retreat alongside him without too much trouble. Whenever they came across other adventurers she would heal them. The group slowly expanded like so until they reached the end of the path.

As the adventurer with the highest rank, Clarys declared that if nobody else came in an hour they would leave. This worked out well as 10 or so adventurers returned during this period, Samuel and Christian included.

They didn't loiter around much longer after that as the healed Samuel decisively ordered them to retreat.
