By Xianna's original estimate, they should have reached Doomsday Fortress within three days of receiving news of the frost giants. Yet nearly a week had passed, and those frost giants still had not arrived.
So Xianna sent people out to look for them.
They found them in the mountains west of the plane. Those idiots were still wandering in circles through the mountains... Worse still, they had absolutely no sense of direction. They had clearly traveled the same road three times already, yet those idiots tirelessly took it a fourth time...
Even Xianna felt despair at such intelligence.
In truth, Xianna had wronged the frost giants. Their intelligence was not especially high, but it was certainly above average. It was simply that the intense heat had cooked every one of their brains into mush.

Whether male succubi or succubi, they were naturally agile and made excellent rogues. They were more than capable of serving as scouts.
Furthermore, Xianna herself could cast spells, so finding Solam's lair had not been difficult. (Demons rarely had dedicated spellcasting classes, not only because chaotic magical power was too difficult to control, but also because demons' inherently chaotic natures made it impossible for them to develop systematic spellcasting professions.
