In front of the raid a prairie stretched. It was an endless sea of tall grass that rippled in the wind like waves on water.
The raid was spread wide enough to avoid presenting a single target yet close enough to respond to threats.
Reidar walked near the front with Lena and Jake. Lena was leading the raid because the advantage her trait gave her.
The Crimson Briar Patch waited somewhere ahead, and based on the quest description, it was in a bad situation.
The place should have been a kind of paradise, which explained why monsters decided to head there and to claim it as their home.
This was true for the entire valley. Based on what the System, and the Velia's regional map said, the land had been rich, nourished by the blood of the earth, and the corpses of the people that lived there when it was a city, but it was particularly true for the briar patch.
Reidar imagined it as it must have been before whatever took a hold of it appeared.
