"How about we split up in the morning? Some of us push on to contact and see what we are up against whilst those who need to prepare spells remain for their full night's rest?"

"Hmmm...." Koric mulls over the idea in his head. "Percy brings up a valid idea. While I am hesitant to split up the party, I would not be able to bear the thought that innocents died while we were waiting for me to regain my spells..." Koric looks at the others assembled. "Any thoughts? If we were to go ahead with the idea, I'd have Lindal, Percy, Fortin, and possibly Franky in the foreward team, supplemented by a couple of caravan volunteers. I and Felicity would need to stay behind, with Dagmar standing guard and with the rest of our recently-expanded group. "

"I agree that we cannot lose any more time, if we can avoid it. How shall we mark the path, as there will be noone to track us if Lindal goes?"

 

[Wilphe]

""Carve a tree every so often. If it is necessary. We might not be leaving much of a track, but the orcs certainly are."

"Very well. Unless there are objections to the plan, let us depart at once."

"Before you go, is there a way for you to communicate trouble to us? A light in the sky or via more magical means? This way, we would know you to be in trouble, and can catch up regardless of our sleep..."

"We are unlkely to get ourselves into trouble in the next few hours, which is the only time that such a signal would make any difference. Even if there is no signal available, we should still continue on."

 

[Wilphe]

"I wasn't advocating pushing on immeditaly. It'll be dark and hard for us to travel and we would merely being exhausting ourselves to little effect. A short halt, a few hours rest and to continue on when we can see our way easily again - either in the pre-dawn glow or when the moon comes out. We'd be perhaps 4 hours ahead of the rest of the party."
"At that distance if we ran into trouble there'd be little they could do to succor us so signals would accomplish little."

Koric, Half-Orc Cleric of Pelor

"Ah, my apologies, Percy. Four hours seems a bit... safer for all involved. If that is the case, then let us get to rest, so we can begin the trek all the sooner..."

 

[scout989]

OOC: Sorry, lost track of time there- I thought we had already transitioned to early morning. So Fortin has been talking about pushing on in the early morning

Lindal - Half Orc Ranger

Lindal nodded his agreement, although it wasn't clear if it was without reservation. Still, he seemed happy to progress with the groups plan.
