THE SUN ALWAYS RISES

Even if it as unforgiving, hot, blazing, not kind and generous at all desert Sun in the Wasteland.
Not that you can see much of that inside the caverns only lit by magical balls of light.

Ponies slowly start to wake up.
The members of the party were brought some breakfast to avoid any possible clashes at the canteen, a safety measure as Crystal Clear said. She will be ready to move out in an hour.
You are free to explore until then.
Yvonne still limps and can't sit properly.
