The next day after everything had been gathered, created and completed, everyone participating was present in the courtyard. The Prospects and Chaos servants were present along with everyone except for Kalini, Logan, Griggs and Quelina. Rhea and Anastacia were coming aswell and joining the groups that wouldn't have Solaire or Reima with them for obvious reasons...
Everyone's who wasn't able to cast Chaos Blade had had their weapons plated in silver and given a few bombs courtesy of the Witchers. Geralt, Eskel and Lambert were standing next to Reima as he addresses the crowd.
Reima "I assume everyone is gathered?" he receives a few mumbles from the crowd and continues, "This will be the first step to making this land habitable for those that aren't able to defend themselves or simply wish to be safe in their sleep. All of you know what we're going to do, but I'll repeat it for clarity... The four groups will go off in separate directions with a Witcher leading them, you will eradicate any monsters you come across, along with their nests, eggs and youngsters you find. You will listen to every order I, Eskel, Geralt or Lambert give as it could mean life or death... And while that might not seem that dire to some of you-" he looks at the masked Prospects who turn their heads away in embarrassment, "It is important that no one dies today, if we come back with one less man than I will personally consider the expedition a complete failure." he states, before ending with one last thing. "Last but not least, I'd like to introduce you all to these two women, Rhea and Anastacia." he points towards the women wearing religious garbs depicting him and Solaire.
Reima "They are well versed in the art of healing, if you are injured then seek them out if you are in the same group as them... Good, unless anything else needs to be said you should all gather in your designated groups!" he says and leaves the entrance of Kaer Morhen followed by those in his charge, specifically Talem and Nerissa.
He has the Prospects form what could only be described as a meatshield around the Pyromancers in his group. He'd picked for his group to head north, directly to the Dragon Mountains where it'd probably be the most dangerous.
The path they took was zig-zagging, making sure to scour the lands to cleanse any monsters they come across. Additionally due to the path's close vicinity with the nearby like they had a huge amount of Drowner and Hag nests to clear.
They also found a relatively large group of trolls that weren't immediately hostile, despite their wariness over his "Witchy" eyes. Reima determined that they wouldn't eat humans and would disturb anyone unless provoked first and as such, let them live.
Talem "Amusing creatures, are they not?" he says, most likely smiling under he mask as he takes a few most glances at where they'd been.
Reima nods, "Yeah, that group might be... But it isn't uncommon for others to turn completely hostile against humans, invading villages, smalls towns and eating anyone who doesn't manage to escape. I may have let them live, but that doesn't mean I won't be keeping an eye on them."
Talem "I do wonder where these monsters originate from, most don't seem native to these lands." he wonders aloud.
Reima "Well, that's because they're not. Most were dropped here in the past during the Conjunction of the Spheres or whatever it's called. Human's were also apparently not from this world originally either." He adds.
Talem "How wondrous... I wonder if humans came to my old world in a similar process?"
The party continues delivering quick death to the monsters they come across, however just as they begin scouting the bottom of a small mountain Reima notices a huge rock being thrown towards the group from above them via his Observation Haki. He casts Aard at the ground causing those around him to be knocked away as he braces to catch the boulder.
*CRASH!*
He catches it but the ground below him gives and a creator forms underneath him, fortunately, no one was injured by it. Reima drops it to the side with a large *Crack* and looks up at where it might've come from. The only thing he sees when he takes a look is an empty mountain path...
Reima "Any of you see what caused that?" he questions the group, with most shaking their heads.
One speaks up though, "I saw a large figure throwing it, it as too far to see any details though."
...
Reima "Something threw this? What was it? Some kind of giant!?" he exclaims.
Talem "It was lucky our group came across this, I doubt the others would have been able to resist such an unconventional attack." he adds.
Reima shakes his head, "We'll start ascending the mountain, I'll be a couple meters ahead to prevent any more "stonings", is that clear?"
"Jolly!" the Chaos Servants shout, while the Prospects just yell "Yes" at his command. Reima just shakes his head at the former, deciding that it was alright too late to change them. Besides, he found it pretty funny when they did it.
They group began to walk along the steep mountain path, it was wide enough to allow 6-7 people to walk side by side which was a boon to the large group. Reima was ahead of the group while the Prospects led the others, the Flame Guard with their tower shields directly behind them and followed by everyone else.
Eventually they make it up to the spot where the boulder had apparently been tossed, a small patch of dirt with a large footprint making it apparent that it was indeed some kind of large humanoid that'd attacked them. Though Reima wasn't all that familiar with the size, shape and smell of the foot that'd previously been here.
Nerissa of course was incredibly grossed out when he had his head in the foot-shaped hole to get a whiff of it.
