Finally a use for endurance.
OOC I had assumed that, on the way to pick up Kuma and on the way back, Trent had been moving through the trees using his climb skill based upon one of your earlier posts. So I am going to assume that he drops back to cover tracks on the ground (increasing the DC to track the group by +5), and returns to rejoin the group by taking the lower canopy. He does NOT have trackless step, so with the right abilities, he could be tracked through the treeline. Thus, Trent is getting tired, but thanks to his endurance feat he aught to be able to keep this up for the entire trip back to the temple...
All of his backtracking and catching up at his 20' climb speed has forced Trent to hustle from time to time. If he was not so endurant, he would be forced to rest. Luckily the doughty dragon-shaman seems an an inexhaustible font of energy and vitality.
Thus, Trent does not see the hulk moving through the lower canopy on his level, but luckily he is 40 feet behind Highttower and 30 feet above the ground (50 on the diagonal).
OOC: Anyone else want to describe their position relative to Hightower should do so, and I will hastily throw up an ascii map once I have everyone's position.
