The increasing number of intelligent Spike Beasts was of great concern for every awakened, regardless of their affiliation.
Teamed up with Norm's group, Rohan and the others also encountered other Awakened while they searched for any viable waystone, who either had no idea about anything that had been happening over the past few hours or didn't feel like joining up with Rohan, Elane and Norm's group.
In a situation like this, strength could definitely be found in numbers, though much of their time spent while searching was on breaks, so that those with injuries could rest for a little bit before they kept going. Gerty and Liam in particular had injuries to their legs, so Elane was much better off than them. They were the biggest burden everyone had to shoulder at the moment, but nobody saw it that way.
