Horizon of Darkness

-- Didn't break, did it? The screen isn't cracked? My little smartphone, I'll never let you out of my sight again... Wait a sec, -- Henry patted his pockets to make sure nothing else was missing. If everything's still there, there's no reason to keep the elves...
/ So, are we going back to the old routine now?/

Henry didn't find anything else missing.

Nikta and Henry returned from their scouting mission to the others, and then they all continued on their way around the lake. At the spot where Henry had been playing with the elves, Nikta discovered two more Gremlins. Continuing on, not far from the ruins, the mercenaries found two more paths leading into the forest to the south. And also two more Gremlins. The adventurers continued around the lake until they reached the town of Oridj.

 

And soon they reached the lakeside dock. There were about twenty boats, and only a few fishermen sitting on the shore, casting their lines and carefully watching their floats. Several children were playing nearby.
