We're on the closing of the Jarilo-VI arc.

The group had explained what they need to do with Svarog, which is trying to talk with him peacefully, however be ready to fight in case. Bileam would pretty much sleep throughout the whole meeting until Oleg left, but not without telling them that he came up with an escort.

The group heads to another one of Boulder Town's exits, where they find waiting for them a certain yellow haired child. Everyone looks shocked as they find Pitch Dark Hook the Great waiting for them.

Seele: ..Hook? You...

Hook: T-That's right! It's me, Pitch Dark Hook the Great! What do you want?

However, a familiar voice calls out to the group, but more specifically, Hook.

Sampo: Uh, kiddo, I think there's been a misunderstanding.

Sampo appears in full view as he stands next to Hook. Bileam has a disappointed look on his face as he stares at the man.

Bileam: Can never trust a scammer.

Sampo: I will be your guide friends. By order of Chief Oleg...

Sampo: I gotta say I'm a little upset at the thought of you choosing a toddler over your old buddy Sampo...

Bileam: Hook solos.

Seele: Alright, alright, don't get started. But I wanna ask you something: Everyone in Wildfire knows where Svarog's lair is. Why do we need you as a guide?

Sampo begins to go into a tangent about his skills as a scout, and how he has picked up a few things from his time as one. Annoyed, March tells him to get on with it already, making the blue haired thief sigh.

The group heads out, leaving Hook behind. As they walk, Bileam begins to think about what he would look like with glasses on...

Bileam frowns as he shakes his head getting the image out of his brain. He does not need glasses so why get some?

Noticing that their environment changed from rock to snow, Bileam takes a look at the Robot Settlement. And to say that it is depressing would be an understatement. The atmosphere was miserable, and the people were twice as much. There are tents littered around the place and in the distance one could see a huge mansion.

March: Isn't it dangerous for them to make camp right under Svarog's metal nose?

Seele: No, not really. In fact, Svarog doesn't attack humans blindly or without reason, so for them this is the perfect place to stay.

Seele: Hmm... If I hadn't moved away when I did, I would probably be with them.

The group head forward throughout the camp, until they reach a locked iron gate with a controller next to them. March walks up to it and proudly stands there.
