Xavier has now moved sideways across themountain into the middle of the fourth section.
And it is that section that is beginning now! This bit is NOT designed to be traversed; it has no pathway and is full of chasms, pot holes, rock hazards and the like. Running downhill not recommended!

The danger meansd the Epireans are going more slowly- they have an additional penalty.
Not loincloth though- he seems bloody agile, and heeds not the dangers.
Trogan has stopped...

Galder face-palms into his right hand, the real one.
"Look, I've got something to gain here. Loyalty. You don't get our politics yet, but if I get you AND your friends onto the finish line, then I get a bunch of Epireans that listen to ME. I've reconsidered, let's hope I don't reconsider again, for your sake. Make sense?"
Galder thinks back to Kuylen's requirement for absolute obedience to his authority briefly, reflecting it on the situation at hand. He also thinks of how awesome it would be to have most of the Epirean winners listen to him directly...
