Caution with the hot springs temperature, please! part 6

The party advanced slowly following the pathway towards the sound of falling water that could be heard in the distance. It wasn't far, yet it took them about fifteen minutes because they were forced to walk in an awkward position because they were tied to each other.

Fortunately for them, there were still a couple hours of sunlight left and they didn't encounter a single beast while being inside the mist.

Beasts had a more developed sense of smell and they disliked anything new in their environment. As soon as the mist appeared, most ofthe beasts that inhabited the place left to seek for a safer place to live.

The steam became even denser as they closed in and the smell got so strong everyone was able to feel it.

"It smells like rotten eggs"

"Don't be silly, this is the smell that our hot springs usually have, only a lot stronger"

"Ouch! why did you hit me Anne?"

"And you have the guts to ask! you just grabbed my ass!"
