Entering Hostile Territory

The Caravan of refugees had already moved on from the scene of battle and continued onward through the route supplied by Cassie and the party. This was the route that only a few days prior, she and her party had used to get to Haven.

During that time, it was a relatively safe trading route, however unknown to the survivors of Haven, a new wave of monster invasions had begun; the existing trade routes were quickly overrun and occupied by the unending hordes of monsters that came forth from the strip.

Thus the Caravan was unwittingly marching into the monster-occupied territory. However, it was not as if there were any better options. The independent slayers taking refuge in the airport spent day and night battling the monsters in an attempt to defend their refuge. However, retaking the old trade routes to the other settlements was not a priority at the moment. Because of this, there really was no safe route back to the airport.
