With the excitement of the flight now behind them the group descended down to the ground, not overly eager to entice more flying foes to challenge them, they had already gotten lucky to only attract a flock of 3rd tier beasts and no 4th tier ones.
They landed quite some distance from the three lakes, not eager to remain close to the domains of the resident lords there. Once safely back on the ground they made swift progress. They climbed up a slight incline, moving between the giant trees with practiced ease, having been in this region for some time now they were more than used to the shear magnitude of the flora here. Even so it was still quite an impressive sight to walk between these giants.
Knowing that they had a gentle but sizable hill they had to traverse the group did not rush, choosing to pace themselves and steadily make progress.
