Lindal - Half Orc Ranger
Lindal looks to Fortin as he helps set up the camp. "I think we're gaining - but slowly. The orcs are pushing the prisoners to a harsh pace, and I hate to say it but I wouldn't be surprised if we start finding those who can't keep up tomorrow." Rage and sadness played across the half orc's craggy features. "I'm hoping we can catch them tomorrow, though. Probably towards the end of the day. If we don't... well, we might start having problems. That was a mixed group of tribes: it's looking like there's a large tribal gathering round here somewhere. I don't know who's keeping them together, but we're not really setup to take on a couple of hundred of them yet."

Fortin looks equally upset at the idea of finding dead captives along the trail. "We can't let that happen! Gather round, everyone, there is a hard decision to be made." When everyone has gathered, he explains what Lindal has told him, then continues "I am not prepared to let their captives die so easily as that. If one more day could bring us within striking distance, then it is likely that walking through the night would allow us to reach them before they set off tomorrow morning. I propose that we do without sleep tonight, if we are able, in return for the opportunity to save a few more lives. Though it will not be easy on us, I think the reward is worth it." After he finishes speaking, Fortin slowly begins to gear up again, while listening to what everyone else has to say about this idea.

Lindal - Half Orc Ranger
Lindal shakes his head. "They'll be travelling by night, not day. Unfortunately that means that if we travel through the night, we'll still not catch them till tomorrow (although earlier than otherwise in the day). I'd rather reach them rested and fresh while they're mostly asleep. Also, many of us would find travelling through the night hard - exhaustion would be a factor, and as a group we would be slowed by the conditions."

"Really? They travel by night, you say? Well, I guess you learn something new every day- I've never had to deal with orks before. Well, all right, sorry for wasting your time, everyone." Fortin is unembarrassed by his mistake, and immediately starts to remove his gear once again.
