After the fight with the Panther Violet wholy agreed to stay grounded for now and to continue exploring the highland they found themselves on. They still headed towards the East but they were in no rush and were happy to explore some on the way.
Another thing to note is that they opted to not use any active stealth, not to say they were purposely loud but they didnt want to keep running into low leveled beasts that gave them nothing when killed. So they opted for the direct approach, this did mean that they had to stay on alert more in case of ambush but even if they were ambushed it was unlikely that they would be instantly killed thanks to their high levels.
