CH483 Travel Delay and Progress
***
A week passed in a flash.
The expedition party had to delay their journey deeper into the Hollowcrest Wildlands, remaining in Camp Red Rock while Alex busied himself with finalising the design for Zora's new rune—and the upgrade to her old one.
That said, the party didn't remain idle just because of the delay.
Sugud cobbled together a makeshift forge, which he used to produce modular mechanical enhancement parts for the crossbows used by the party's crossbowmen, based on his prior discussions with Alex and feedback from the crossbowmen themselves.
Unfortunately, he couldn't produce new crossbows from scratch with facilities this poor.
Mordor spent his days challenging swordsman after swordsman in the camp. As long as someone used a sword, the orcish sword fanatic would hunt them down and demand a duel.
