Would it be possible to delay the return of the travellers a bit longer after a storm is brought down?
Currently they reappear mere moments afterward, while we are still hanging about looking at our loot.
This is unimmersive for a couple reasons:
1. They simply materialize before our very eyes.
2. It seems silly for them to be calling the storms old wives' tales and such, when they surely would have seen the one we just defeated on their way to the site.
Even a delay of a minute would give us a chance to move out of the area. It will take time for that site to become active again, so it shouldn't affect the cycling.
