Mission, start!

Albeit it took longer than expected, the group eventually reached the outer area of the Great Forest and without wasting any more time than they already did, the got in formation and marched forward.

They assumed a kite formation, with Ryu taking the lead a few steps in front of the two casters, Lia and Niah'la standing shoulder to shoulder with their back protected by Fira who defended the rear. Maybe it wasn't the best, but no better idea came to mind after much planning so they proceeded like that... though albeit we say "proceeded", it was actually randomly wandering forward with Ryu and Fira watching out for hostile presences while Lia and Nia kept their eyes on the ground seeking for Vivingeer plants.

But were them so easy to find? The answer was obviously no. They spent a few hours till noon and only managed to gather 3 roots, obviously not enough to meet even the most basic quest requirement.

"Do we have to go deeper in the woods?" Asked Ryu while munching on a rabbit they caught on the way, the group stopping in a clearing to have their lunch and plan how to solve their current trouble, least they'd waste the afternoon and end up spending the night here.

"I think so" replied Lia "I think we'll find more around here, but it'll take too long and we'd end up either walking through the night, or worse... we'll have to sleep here and resume the search tomorrow, something i really don't want to do unless necessary. And to sleep in the great forest during a simple F ranked gathering quest... i'm really unwilling"

Fira nodded, whereas Nia shrugged and kept eating her rabbit.

After some more discussion the plan was set, they'd walk deeper into the forest and get what they needed as fast as possible, then quickly head back to Brohole in order to get their reward. If worst came to worst and night came when they were done or about to, they'd sleep here and keep searching the next day in order to inflate the reward by overachievement.
