Devaguea listened to the report, and asked how Stroon had known about Briar. It didn't seem to be a thing that someone just knew.<br/><br/>The dragon duke immediately corrected Jubilost, saying that the first month they would be focusing exclusively on the area that led from his territory to Fort Drellin, so as to more quickly bring the town into the nation. After they did that, they could do the lands around it as they had time, though if Sena absolutely had to adopt any animals, she could greater teleport them back to town and the menagerie that had been built just for that purpose using Vesper. Though the zoo was also meant to help teach new druids and rangers how to interact with more dangerous animals, and educate the common folk on the various wildlife that lived in the wilds.<br/><br/>But once that first time period finished, the entire group would return to Drellin, Akiros and the adventurers would teleport using Vesper back to the capital, and then the next group would join Jubilost the next day with the list of areas to clear and map. With the sword expediting the exchange of adventurers, and the magic carpet expediting the mapping of areas, they shouldn't have to slog through much of the swamp. And the first group's return was scheduled early in August.
