"We may of doomed these cubs." Aramil eyes them over carefully, trying to judge whether they are a threat or not. "I will make sure to check on them periodically, maybe even try to adopt them."

These cubs don't seem to be a threat.

"Are they old 'nough to stand on their own four paws?" the dwarf asks. "If so, we walk away. Else we could send them back with the boy."
 

"Let us wait until the morn. I will take the boy back to town and catch up with you down the road. As for these cubs................ it is the way of the wild. I do not wish to be responsible for their fate, but it was meant to be. Their fate was determined by their mothers aggression." Aramil's eyes showed his pain, but his face was cold.
 

[sblock=ooc]The cubs are entering their first autumn and are probably just barely weened, it at all. They will almost certainly meet an unfortunate end if they are left alone to fend for themselves.[/sblock]

If Aramil leaves early the next morning and moves quickly while the others break camp and take their time, he might be able to meet back up with them by nightfall, barring any unforseen events. Progress will obviously be minimal, however.
 

"Maybe we could stuff 'em in a sack and sell them as pets to one of the caravans back in Bjorah's Cliff?" the dwarf suggests. "Might fetch a pretty penny or two. Better than them dieing out here hungry and all."
 

"Bah, that's no good. And cruel. I'll go back to town with Aramil tomorrow to escort the kid, and watch their backs. We'll hurry back. Elves like me and Aramil don't need much rest compared to you folks, so we won't need to stop for a break on the way back. Maybe we can take the bear cubs with us and get someone in town to take care of them, I dunno. I'm no farmhand." Irathias says as he walks back to camp.
 

"There is a man in town who can rear them properly. He may even train them well enough to benefit our surely dwarven friend here. I'd love to see your short legs wrapped arounda bear's back." Aramil laughs at the image of the dwarf riding a bear.
 

The dwarf frowns as the joke is made at his expense. "What about the missing wagon?" Dowkan asks. "Won't look good if we rescue two bears, a boy, and not the wagon and the merchants."

He sighs. "I'll keep moving. Me short legs won't let me keep up with ya in any case."
