Daru was certain that not even Elara could have anticipated this, so he was not too regretful.
He simply moved instead of wasting time beating himself up over something that could not be helped.
Daru assigned his Runebarks to continue gathering resources while he himself left to look for Runebarks to hunt.
He avoided the direction of Yorlak's camp, circling to the other side of the small pond and going straight from there.
Daru had already explored that area, but considerably less than the others.
Sure enough, he found quite a number there. He didn't back down even though there was a time he had to fight three Runebarks at once.
They were malnourished and massive in size.
It was easy for him to utilize the tree spawns' bodies against them through good positioning, basically using one Runebark's trunk as a physical barricade to prevent the others from attacking.
