After traveling towards the remaining territory of the 'King of Beasts' subordinates, the group encountered a much weaker group than the one in Slapis, but with more detailed information.
The 'King of Beasts' subordinates exchanged the information they had and were willing to sell it with the group's resources, helping the group to place Tanus as their next destination.
They still stayed in Eater for a few days after their discovery, worrying about avoiding local conflicts and moving without attracting attention from groups like the one they had prevented the fight from ending earlier.
