The team reunites triumphantly following the successful resolution of the goblin predicament that had the meat shop in its clutches. Although temporarily dispersed as Verrona makes her way back to the group, an unexpected encounter tests her mettle when an old "friend" emerges. Post-confrontation, the collective decision is made to embark on a new mission—one that Armoni had caught wind of during her regular ambassadorial sessions. Word of a notorious bandit group wreaking havoc on the trade route between Novovia and the city of Airelyra has reached the group's ears. These marauders, ruthless and brazen, have been indiscriminately dispatching anyone who dares to stand in their way. Now, the question looms over our fledgling heroes: Do they possess the fortitude and skill to confront this new challenge head-on? As they prepare to face the daunting threat, the air is charged with anticipation, and the echoes of their recent triumph spur them forward into the unknown. Will they emerge victorious once again, or will the bandits prove to be a formidable adversary beyond their expectations? The stage is set for a daring adventure that will test the bonds of friendship and the resilience of our young champions.
