Opening 7
.
After spending the next four days helping the Adventurers' Guild with their winter training, Lucius and Paimon return back to Albedo's camp, having found nothing in their investigation.
Lucius: Albedo, we're here.
Albedo: Lucius, Paimon, nice to see you again.
Lucius: How has your investigation gone?
Albedo: Your faces say that, perhaps, you haven't turned up anything?
Lucius: Yeah, we checked everywhere in the mountain. We didn't find anything at all about your impostor.
Albedo: This is not unexpected. I haven't made much progress, either. He appears to know that we are looking for him, and has opted to lie low for the time being.
Lucius: ("Or maybe he has operated discreetly...")
Albedo: Still, there is one thing I found. I discovered footprints on some parts of the mountain, and although they were a little covered by the snow, I could tell they had been left by someone of a similar size to myself. The footprints were quite numerous, so I believe my next step will be to rule out each of the adventurers active on Dragonspine one by one...
Paimon: We can help with that. We have plenty of contact with the adventurers. So now we-
*RUMBLE*
Lucius: ...!
The group hear a large rumble in the distance, immediately alerting the three.
Paimon: Aaaah! What was that!?
Albedo: It came from the West side.
Paimon: Could it be the impostor?
Lucius: Only one way to find out!
Lucius runs off, with Albedo and Paimon right behind him.

Not far from the campsite, the three spot a huge rock pile just on the side of the dirt path.
*BOOM*
The rock pile suddenly shakes causing Paimon to hide behind Lucius, while he and Albedo get ready for a possible attack.
*BOOM*
But the rock pile suddenly crumbles, as from within that rock pile was Eula, Amber and Bennett.
Eula: Phew. That was most unfortunate.
Lucius: You guys? I'd assume it was some sort of bad luck.
Amber: I have to agree. We've been wandering this area for days...
Bennett: We ran into Pallad earlier. You know, the, uh... kind of a reckless sort of guy? You know the one? Anyway, he said he was unlucky, so I gave him some adventuring survival tips...
Eula: After that, he disappeared to rejoin the training camp.
Paimon: Wait, wait, wait... are you saying that after all this time, you still haven't made it back to the base camp?
Amber: Haha... Well, as you can see...
Bennett: It was nothing, really. We just hit a few landslides and snowdrifts, and took a few downhill tumbles, you know the deal.
