There was no one waiting for me when i finally arrived at the entrance to the cave of Ilnath. It was a three day journey from the nearest town and I came expecting a full raiding party, so i did not load myself down with supplies like food and water. If the guild didn’t show, I would be hard pressed to make the return trip through barren waste and desert. It might be possible to hold out in this forest for a time, foraging for fruits and small game until the raiders arrived.

I didn’t want to wait, though so i pulled up a console and called up the guild rep.

> Fernak: Hey, where is everyone?

I was a long time waiting for an answer so I looked around the entrance of the cave, scanning for any good materials: food, water, minerals, herbs. The place was totally barren, probably picked clean.

> Aron: what’s up?

> Fernak: I was supposed to have my first raid today, but no one’s here.

> Aron: Yeah that’s right. You have to do this one alone.

> Fernak: But this is a level 30 area!

> Aron: Good luck!
