The injured members of the team made significant progress overnight, their strength returning as the antidote worked its magic.
By midday, they were back on their feet, though still weak and in need of rest. Idrias decided to give them the full day to recuperate. Although they were pressed for time on this mission, he knew that pushing them too soon could jeopardize the mission.
As the sun began to set, Idrias called the group together. "We move out at first light," he said, his voice firm. "The relic is still our priority, and we can't afford to waste any more time. Be ready."
Since most of those injured had their physical problem healed days ago and were mostlye suffering from the venom remaining in their system, once it was removed and thanks to the increased physical ability of beast-tamers, they managed to reach top condition surprisingly quickly.
The next day, they set out at dawn, their steps quicker than at the beginning of their journey to make up for the lost time.
