After many days on the road, Ulric and his men finally saw the forests of the Grimjaw Mountain.
Thinking it was finally safe to free their hostages, Ulric simply left them without bothering to undo the ropes that bound their hands behind their back.
Gromm and Ragan were now able to breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, their hardship was over. Once they were back to their own camps, they could just put this incident behind them.
But now that they were there, a part of them didn't want to leave right away. They were curious about what lay inside the mountain. That said, Gromm asked Ulric if they could stay to rest in their camp for a day.
Ulric agreed on the condition that only Gromm and Ragan could follow them.
Their curiosity got the better of them, so they both agreed to go on their own. They hadn't been there when their warriors accompanied Arlo in the Grimjaw Mountain, for they thought coming would be a waste of time.
