(Twin Fang Planet, Just Outside The Venom Lily Bistro, Following The Team Meeting)
After accepting Leo's demand to supply the team with medium-grade stones, Raiden informed everyone that they would be departing for the expedition in exactly three days' time.
Before they departed, each team member also had to visit the Black Serpents Guild headquarters and sign an official contract that would confirm and bind them to all the terms they had discussed in today's meeting.
Everything from the loot splits, mission conditions, survival clauses, and resource sponsorship was going to be mentioned in the contract, leaving no room for ambiguity, so that everyone knew exactly what they were getting themselves into once the expedition began.
It was a formality, but one that ensured everyone stayed aligned once they entered the time-stilled world, as it was the most efficient way to minimize confusion, and future disputes before they even arose.
