Waking up with the sun was what Wincent always did, but today he just wanted to stay under the covers and rest. Not feeling the urge of waking up and starting the day.
After a while he did finally got out of bed.
After stretching and changing clothes he walked to his desk which had his gear on. But not feeling the urge to look at it right now he decided to go out for a walk.
Maybe because of yesterday's scare with the Gore magala but he didn't wanted to go out of the outpost for the time being.
After walking a little bit he saw Frank and decided to go to him and talk, he haven't seen the others but knowing them they maybe walking around getting information about what is happening currently.
Talking with Frank was a good idea because even he didn't wanted to talk about yesterday but that maybe was because he still looked out of it.
They haven't been talking for long when the others arrived as well. And they talked about what happened at last nights meeting.
Apparently they are going to try and track the Gore magala down in a way that won't alter him to them. Since as soon it known that it was found it left. They didn't even have the time yesterday too attack it.
So at the meeting they decided that they shouldn't look at it as all the others, and consider it as a bigger threat as well.
The plan they come up with was that all the hunters would change their weapons to ones that deal fire damage. Since Gore magala is weak to fire and this one shouldn't be that different in that way.
And they would track it down cheerfully to make sure it can't escape and that attack it.
It was easy on paper but all the hunters that are involved in this plan are ones that saw the monster in person. And if they guest right this one has higher intelligence than others of it's kind. But for now that's just speculation.
Wincent departs from his friends after a while and goes back to work on his own armour. (Even if he just going to end up looking at the same peace over and over again.) He needs something to get his mind of of things that are happening right now. He needs to get his mind straight,
His own friends are worried for him. Since first time they meet he wasn't like that at all like he has something stuck inside his head that's been bothering him.
So they decide to plan a trip to one of the further outpost inside the snow region. They know that Wincent haven't been there yet and a change in scenery will probably do him some good. And it does give them the chance to bond more.
Even if the Gore magala was flying that way, what are the chances that it will be still there? Since it's an intelligent species and that place is not a suitable location for it to live at. It probably already left, or it wasn't even staying there in the first place.
With the plan set they hurried to get ready and pack their gear to depart tomorrow. Why are they going tomorrow and not a little later? They can't really say. It's not really a solid plan to begin with.
But when did they ever do something not mildly reckless before? And this isn't one of the most reckless plan they did so far anyway.
They won't tell Wincent about it right now so to make it a surprise for him.

Franklin was flying above in the clouds looking down at the frozen landscape. So far he has seen most of what this place has. And the hunters outposts as well.
He found the main one really quickly, luckily that was the only one, because of the weather here there aren't others. But he did see a few smaller ones but they were closer together.
It was safe to assume that they haven't been expending here like other locations. It could be just that the cold was keeping the from doing so, but it could be for other reasons as well.
It didn't really matter to him because that just meant that he wouldn't have to worry about running into the hunters here. Of course as long as he stays away from the places he saw the camps and not give himself away he should be fine… maybe.
But the hunter camps aren't the main concern it's the food. Yes there are monster here but not as many as in the forest. But if really necessary he can still go to other locations to hunt. Since the swamp is close by. Even though it does take at least half a day of travel but he can go one day without food if necessary.
And by doing that he can stay out of the hunters vision for a while.
While he was contemplating the next step he landed in one of the many walleys. Scarring a pack of Baggi in the process. Since they are small monsters there's not really that big of a threat to him. But since they do hunt in packs they can become an annoyance. So staying clear of them is a pleasant idea.
While walking in the snow it became visibly apparent the fact that he stood out even more than he initially thought. The monsters spotted him sooner than he saw them.
While he did have second thoughts about this plan for staying here for the time being just to get away from the hunters, but it's not a permanent solution. Because even if they aren't going to look for him here as much as anywhere else at first, once they realise they can't find him at other places they will look here even more.
But for now it will do, just so he can get another idea of where to after. But right now he needs to find a place to rest.
After walking for a little bit more he come across a cave opening, after going in and making sure it's unoccupied and finding a somewhat empty and straight area he goes to sleep. He can think about anything else tomorrow.

Meanwhile inside the forest our hunter group is currently experiencing their luck whith getting chased by none other than an Anjanath.
At least for now…
