He looks to Ulsys, Raven, and Tatlock (if he's arrived yet) and wonders if their thoughts are along the same lines, then begins to help clear rubble as he explains his thoughts. Even if they were still somewhat hectic, events had calmed somewhat, and the half-orc had some time to exercise his unusually keen mind."Fendric and the others will show up here eventually and then we'll all be giving these guys a hand, and that could take quite some time. On top of that we've lost two horses, meaning myself and Oliver are on foot, which means longer travel times," Nurthk says, carefully freeing a large rock from the cave-in, "Now I'm all for helping them, but if the druid knew the caves and whatnot along these roads were occupied by people sympathetic to us then it's likely he'd have expected us to help them after an earthquake. And do you remember how one of the arrowhawks made a point of finishing Oliver's steed? Considering the way that encounter played out he could be trying to stall us, slow us down. It only makes sense that the arrowhawks attacked a ship as well, if the ship wasn't sunk having it's crew decimated would cripple it's speed. He covered his bases in case we sent the letter by ship but used ourselves as a decoy. All this tells me we're working on a time limit and the time difference between us getting there on horseback and getting there with stragglers on foot is critical. I'd recommend some of us staying here to help, and those capable of haste arrive at our destination as soon as possible. After an effort like that I'd wager it'll be some time before the druid tries to kill us again, if he doesn't simply accept failure with the delivery of the last letter, meaning it'll probably be safe to split the group temporarily."Nurthk picks another rock free of the rubble, and plods through the mud and rain to plant it with the other rubble that has been cleared thus far.</blockquote>
