The final briefing didn't last for too long. Smite just wanted to make sure that everyone's preparation was complete and thorough. He didn't even tell about any strategy or anything else since even he still didn't know about it until they arrived at Talv City.
Smite also told everyone that today was the last 'free' day for them. So, they still had some time even after they had arrived at Talv City.
When they arrived at Talv City, Smite would receive their team's task. Then, they would execute it at midnight or tomorrow morning, depending on the task. During their wait time, they could go back to Inverno City to supply what they need. However, if they did that, the portal fee would be deducted from their team's money. Although Smite didn't mind paying the fee, it would be better if they could avoid it.
