It took another couple of hours for them to navigate their way out of the catacomb. The outside was a deep valley which looked more like an ancient heritage spot, not that it took away anything from the murky darkness of the place. On top of that, there was mist in the air, hampering their sight and other senses, providing evidence that this wasn't any heritage spot at all.
Moreover, the mist wasn't natural. Perhaps some old security hack or the power of the rift mutated the natural manifestation of mist.
Other than getting out of the catacomb, there was another good news. After tinkering with the longread for some time, Agnes managed to get in contact with the others. Thankfully, they all were together and safe. After telling them about the goblins and orcs, she asked them to not be hasty in joining up. To take their survival as the utmost priority.
