The camp was a hive of activity as the team continued their preparations. The Heart of the Veil and the newly acquired crystal orb had become focal points of their strategy sessions. As they worked, a sense of urgency pervaded their efforts. The dark forces were growing bolder, and the team's recent successes had likely drawn their attention.
Elara, now deeply engrossed in coordinating their next steps, convened a strategy meeting with Cedric, Morgana, Elias, and Aric. The campfire cast flickering shadows on their faces as they gathered around the table, examining the latest reports and findings.
"Here's what we know," Elara began, laying out a map that displayed the locations of their recent discoveries and the known movements of dark force activities. "The dark forces are concentrating their efforts in these regions. We need to strike a balance between disrupting their plans and securing any remaining artifacts that could aid us."
