Devaguea glanced at the hole it had made in the dead fall, before squeezing his way in, and began exploring.<br/><br/>Once he had found the lair and grabbed everything of value, the group headed north, past the now cleared fort, and kept going until they got to a new section of the forest. He knew he was asking a lot of his group, since they had been out here for almost two weeks at this point, but this was the last bits of unexplored area around his territory, and once it was done they could finally relax. All they would have left was owlbear lair that Jubiliost had found, and Candlemere island.<br/><br/>Two weeks later, the group FINALLY returned to the city, having stopped for a day or so at the hotsprings near the massive tree in the center of his lands, and Devaguea quickly got to work setting up for the meeting with his companions and advisors, as all of them had, at different times, asked when he was planning to do the big reveal of his past. He had set it for the evening the day after they had gotten back, and let most of the castle staff have that evening off to clear out everyone not intended to be the know. Once that was set up, he got right back to work on his lands, as him being out for a month meant that a good deal of paperwork had piled up. He also had Allison look over the items he hadn't been able to identify, and had Akiros put together a team to head out to the castle they had cleared, to get the waterclock and statue that had been left behind; that group would leave after the meeting whenever they were ready.<br/><br/>(explore lair)
