Day 62.
Clayton led the team through the Scorchpaths Outskirts, past Ashhuts; crumbled modular shelters, once home to his commune.
His Shedskin cloaked his Verdant Lord aura, Regalia in bow form, Thornshade Dagger ready.
Torren, Veyra, Lorn, Kaelin, and Soren followed, pagers steady.
The Aphid Network, 35 minions now, hunted minimally, Thornweave Sentinels gaining Embers, one minion lost to an unfortunate fungal trap.
Territorial Sentience sensed Ember Witches, their rituals stronger, and a Scorched Clans camp nearby.
Helping Clayton to explore his city, at least what was left of it safely, the team finally understood why a random Initiate Ember Awakened like him decided to embark on a crazy and dangerous journey like this one.
Clayton's main reason had to be the prospects of seeing his home again.
Leading his teammates, now friends through his home, their bonds grew even stronger as Clayton felt like he was letting them into his past, his traumas.
