Bayar was struggling to breathe with the crushing weight of breastplate crushing his chest. "No...point...be...doing...this," he gasps, standing with his hands on his knees. "We...be...killed...soon...as we...catch him."
Feeling slightly better after a minute or two, he straightens and spits a great was of phlegm into the gutter. "Come then. We be better to set a slower pace, otherwise there be no point." As soon as Bran and Ullara are ready to move again, Bayar will accompany them.

This is what I was getting at with the rapidly escalating DC! I've had the (mis)fortune to do a great deal of rapid middle to long distance running in my life. While none of it had been while wearing 40lbs of armour and a sword slapping at my leg, it is eminently possible for those at the upper end of 'normal' fitness (say Con 12-13) to run at 75% pace for up to an hour.
I'm not advocating a change in rules because we're failing epically (big fan of seeing things through to the bitter end). I do stand by my first point in the ooc thread though - that running this guy down is a statistical impossibility. [/Sblock]
