*The group heads out, with Obscurity and Whinoah scouting for enemies. They manage to spot and avoid some groups of evil Feldori and Lacerta, as well as those dark spirits mixed in, guiding the party around in an attempt to keep safe. Unfortunately, however, they both come with reports of ranging bands of the corrupted coming from opposite directions in prowling arcs. Staying still risked being there when the two groups meet from either side in a pincer attack, but moving in any direction is likely to lead to a necessary battle. Obscurity's direction was the closer to the village they are trying to reach, and she didn't get a good enough look to count the enemies in the group in that direction.*
