Back in Outpost #7, the main plaza was crowded. Everyone who wasn't out fighting was gathered around a giant, glowing screen that the god Warden had set up.
It was like watching the most important sports game ever. The screen showed a map of the Shattered Peaks, with little glowing dots representing the players.
Emma Thorne, even from miles away, was sending back live updates, her calm voice cutting through the nervous chatter of the crowd.
"Okay, everyone," Emma's voice said from the screen's speakers. "Scarlett's team is now approaching Node Beta. So far, so good. We have avoided all major patrols."
A cheer went up from the crowd in the plaza. They watched as the four little blue dots representing their friends moved carefully across the map.
