As he led the group out of the cave, Colin took a moment to check his Task Log. A new panel had appeared.
-----------------
[Quest: Rescue the Slaves]
[Rating: 4 (Mortal)]
[Reward: 150 Skill Level, Power +1]

'The reward for this task seems about the same as the one for the Carrion Insects.'
'My Swordsmanship is at the 'Reliable' level now,' Colin mused. 'If I want to be efficient, I should definitely focus on leveling up my [Empowerment Armor] next.'
'Well, I'll think about it after the task is done.'

The people they had rescued were still very weak, so the group traveled slowly. Fortunately, there had been plenty of food in the Goblin Cave—more than enough to last them until they reached the nearest village.
Sometime on the afternoon of the third day, the hilly terrain they were crossing finally came to an end.
The group stood on a small hill and looked down.
