Bah, sorry, I was tired, I'll fix it.
Hobes is in a pit less than 10' away from Whitlok though.
The only reason Marek didn't actualy get caught was because he could try to follow you, but he never said he was waiting for your direction. This is no fault of yours, more of his. I just decided to not be cruel just because he didn't mention it.
There are lots of these things over where Whitlok is, so footing is a bit tretcherous.
Anyway, I revised it a bit. I think it should be a bit more reflective of what you intended.
