Quests against Drench

"I dunno..." Iri says. "We're already on a 'very hard' quest, we can't really afford to waste resources here."

"What he said," comes Saden's muffled reply from underneath her coat-blanket.

Iri folds his arms and looks thoughtful. "On the other hand, this place looks... relatively safe. And we might be able to find some supplies. Maybe some fruit? We could really use some extra food."

"I like food," Saden says. "This harsh rationing is bullshit."

Iri looks down at his partner, then kneels down and pats her on the back. "Yes, yes, Princess. I know you're not used to this. Honestly, I'm impressed how well you've been toughing it out."

"Then go find me a tasty apple or something as a reward. I can't go on without food. Or at least sleep."

Iri shrugs. "Alright, fine, twist my arm... I'm in. Who else?"

Just need to know if Box joins this party or not

---Task: Explore the treetop cabins---



Crystalis
Terrace
Lunatic Box
Iri
Melinda
Support NPC 2, available

Lunatic Box rushes outside the Caravan, running through the tree, to a visible ladder. He energically climbs the ladder up to a central platform in the treetops, connecting to the three different cabins. Terrace and Iri clamly follow him a few seconds after. Melinda walks with Crystalis, looks at the ladder, then at the crystal wolf and decided to grab him around her shoulders to get him up there. She climbs with difficulty, but she manages it. Every takes place on the central platform, looking around.

To the northeast, there's many platforms leading to a cabin, but from here, it seems like these platforms are not connected...

To the northwest, there's a walkway leading to the second cabin. Nothing out of the ordinary at first glance.

To the south, there's a straight path to the last cabin. You can see that the door is closed. There's green goop on the straight walkway.

Crystalis and Terrace will jump their way across the platforms that aren't connected to get to that cabin.

Terrace and Crystalis run off on the northeast walkway, followed by Iri.

Lunatic Box is left on his own to run towards the south walkway.

Melinda goes to scout the northwest walkway.

---Terrace, Crystalis, Iri---

Terrace and Crystalis run off, planning to jump from platform to platform. They quickly stop, as they are clearly too far for that. Iri follows behind. The 3 adventurers notice a crank, as well as a clock symbol carved on the floor.

---Lunatic Box---

As he runs towards the cabin, Lunatic Box can feel goop dripping from above...

Which direction?
