The Crimson Crane had split up, some of them heading off to areas on their own, while others had gone to try and explore the more habitable areas in search of something good.
It was quite good news for some; Elvlin had managed to find her glaive, so she was no longer weaponless, although a thought did cross her mind on whether or not she should just throw it away.
Since she wanted a new weapon courtesy of the Dark Magus. He was a busier person than they imagined, so the amount of times they would meet with him and he could create a weapon for them they believed to be limited.
So at the moment, everyone was fighting to get in line for him to create a weapon for them, and not having one was a good excuse, but she decided to keep it because she honestly didn't know how long it would take.
The rest of the group didn't find much. They assumed it was because the academy had been in charge of the dimension for a long time.
