The mission was to start the next morning, and they would be delivered by train to the location. There was no road near where they were going, but the train tracks ran only twenty kilometres from the location of the suspected magical resources.
That would be close enough for them to hike in, and it would be up to Karl and Dana to make sure that the team didn't get lost.
With Hawk on duty, that should be a simple matter, as he could see where they were going from above, so Karl didn't have too many concerns about the situation.
There were also no reports of major beasts in the area, only some of the ever present wild boars and a few small monsters that liked to live in the forest. That could become an issue for most teams, but it would be a great test for them, Karl thought.
