Story Quests/World 4: Fang Canyon/Into the Canyon
After their underwater adventure, the party arrives in a dry canyon. Nimbus smells beasts in the area- or his stinky armpits? One of the two.
Alk: Whoa... It's so... open here! I can see the horizon!
Stella: Analyzing our surroundings... This world appears semi-arid, but the climate does not pose us significant risk.
Light: Dry, but likely more hospitable than the desert.
Alk: Well, that's a step in the right direction. Hope we find your world soon, Light.
Light: As do I. But first, we must learn all that we can from this world.
Light: Returning home will not be the end of my journey. I need more strength and knowledge, if I am to face the trials that await me.
Alk: Nimbus? You're awfully quiet.
Nimbus: Beasts... Not far from us, either. I can smell 'em...
Alk: You sure? I didn't want to be the one to say this, but... When's the last time you had a bath?
Light: A proper warrior maintains proper hygiene- just as blades must be cleaned and honed, so too must bodies.
Nimbus: All right, all right, sheesh! I'm serious, though. I smell beasts, and I smell a LOT of 'em.
Light: A pack of monsters, perhaps. We are new to this world- and its inhabitants. Be on your guard.
Nimbus: Hah, if they know what's good for 'em, they'll leave us alone. Let's get going.
Nimbus: Anyone who gets in MY way is gonna regret it!
