Talia's order to the criminals and mercenaries had been very clear. Do not wander around or go deep into the mountain range.
Stay close to the camp and do not explore too far on your own.
As expected, the order was ignored entirely.
Some of the criminals and mercenaries thought they knew better while some simply thought the rules did not apply to them and others were just too greedy to listen.
They have heard about the treasures found by the workers and Talia's speech had all but confirmed it. They wanted their share.
Since entering the camp was suicide, they thought venturing into the mountains could not be as bad.
Right?
Wrong.
It ended badly… Very badly.
The first group left at dawn, five experienced fighters. They took time preparing getting weapons, food, and water even going as far as to borrow with a promise to pay back later.
