>>5805653>>5806540>>5806398>>5805730As tired as you are, you still find the strength to climb back to your feet. Your mission still needs to be finished after all. Impa is no doubt growing nervous at your continued absence and you still need to warn her away from taking the direct route.
You turn to the Goron who had just saved Sotrea's life and thank him graciously for his help.
"Ah, don't mention it. our peoples are sworn brothers after all, it wouldn't do to leave a sister to die on the roadside, would it?" The Goron lets out a little chuckle.
" All the same, thank you." You respond giving him a little bow. " I fear though I have to take advantage of your kindness a little more. Would you look after this woman for a little while? I have a task that still needs to be done and I can't complete it if I have to carry this woman with me. I won't be long, I just have to warn some friends about some creatures we encountered in the passes."
The Goron nods in understanding "I'm not going anywhere in a hurry. Go warn your friends, I'll be here when you get back."
You thank the Goron once more for his kindness and then set off back the way you came.
The return trip is much easier, now that you don’t have to carry an unconscious person and can go at more modest pace. As you approach the passes again, you are faced with a choice. Your original route is an obvious no go, but as you examine the area, you see that there are several passes that meander through this area and any one of them could be an alternate route, or another death trap. The safer option would be to go around and avoid the using the passes entirely, but that could take hours. One final option dawns on you as examine the surrounding terrain. Some of the nearby hills buttress up against the passes on this side and lead up to a plateau of sorts. If you could scale up the nearby hills you could simply walk over the passes to get back to Impa, although there is no guarantee that the terrain won’t become impassable up there, or that you’ll be able to scale down to reach Impa once you get to the other side.
>Try your luck with the passes once more. They are likely your best route to reach Impa in a timely manner.>Go the long way around, it may take time, but it all but guarantees you’ll actually get there>Head up and over the passes it might be safer than using the passes and will still take you less time than going around.>[Write In]
