Battle Oasis
After stage one of our journey was finally over, stage two started out fairly unremarkable.
We left the cavern that hid the shaft leading into the Undercroft an hour after midnight and stepped into the cold night air of the Westersand desert.
Idunn, the golden moon of the Fayne was nowhere in sight. Although that was expected as it was still the Night of Samhain or what we Mudgardians would call Halloween.
But we didn't need it. We had our torches and Aura's Hearthwood staff to light the way.
As we trekked across sand dunes, I began to wish we had taken our swiftharts along because this journey promised to be a very long walk.
After Ty complained of being thirsty, Luca reached into his bag of holding and pulled out a water flask which he tossed to Ty.
