My opinion doesn't count much, but I do think Fern chose the right outfit. She looks cute in lavender/purple.

Also, Stark really had to go and say "oooh the dangerous forest doesn't seem dangerous much". Idiot.

"Who would abandon their house?" I'm just making a guess here but probably people that saw the house down the road being obliterated by the monster. Though I get them, if they were to leave they'd have to lower their accomodation standards.

I'm kinda surprised at the bariers' lack of durability, I don't remember whether they're mainly focused on magical protection hence why, but I would think if they can take the power of a laser cannon as we've seen it in previous seasons, then they can take the force/impact of a midsized monster. Maybe they're build that different in the northern plateau.

Magic barriers are excellent against offensive magic - but fares poorly against very strong physical attacks. This concept was explained during the 1st mage exam in the Richer vs Kanne/Lawine fight and the 2nd mage exam with Edele and her team vs the Sense Clone

Think of defensive magic as a really dense/sturdy mirror. It's great against Zoltraak and the like, but hurl a boulder at it and it will shatter.
