Charlotte and Rallyn
Assuming Charlotte doesn't disagree, the pair make best time to the stables, becoming more and more confident as they travel that there's no other living humanoids on the plateau.
Just outside the door of the stables, the remnants of a cooking fire can be seen, with stones set around the edge and a couple of rods set up for cooking meat. Large pieces of meat, based on the size of the fire p it.
Once inside the sparse stables it's obvious the orcs have visited. Hay is in dissaray and the few animals here are skittish. Normally this time of year there comparably large numbers* of horses, as students who go home for the winter are unable to take them back to the mainland cheaply, but in this case, a few are missing.
Fortunately, Rallyn's steed is still evident.
*Riding mounts are rare in the empire. Horses are only native to the southern parts of the empire and have only slowly been introduced to the north in the last few hundred years. As Drell is located in the far north, there are very few riding beasts other than wardogs for gnomish and halfling clans.

I don't know what gear any of the others left in their room, I'm kinda glossing over that to get back to the action, but I imagine that it, plus the saddle, plus Rallyn, is at least 100 pounds. So the pony should move at 30 I think.
