Shouldn’t we at least get some food, sleep, a shower, gather supplies, repair our clothing, soothe our wounds, pack our backpacks, sharpen our swords and axes, make sure there are enough bullets in the guns and batteries for the “Death Ray”, etc, _first_, before forging merrily onward? ---

Well, don’t take too long.
