The journey to the eastern mountains was fraught with peril. The dense forests and treacherous terrain made it easy for Drake's allies to set traps and ambushes. Leo led the team cautiously, keeping a close eye on the path ahead. Marcus's directions were invaluable, guiding them through the safest routes to the hidden safehouse.
Owen's tech skills came in handy as they approached the area where the safehouse was located. He used a small drone to scout the perimeter, identifying the locations of guards, surveillance cameras, and magical wards. The drone's images revealed a heavily fortified structure nestled among the ruins of an ancient village.
"This isn't going to be easy," Owen said, studying the drone's feed. "They've got guards at every entrance and magical barriers around the perimeter. We'll need to find a way to disable the wards without alerting them."
