Athene persists, but she can tell her companion is tiring. She stops at the very edge of what should be the pack's territory. "We can leave them here. Whether or not the others take them in is out of our control." She deposits the cubs and scatters some of her rations across the ground
OOC can I do a wolf call or something to try and alert any nearby wolves to the cubs?
*Athene this is a howl that comes from a deep place within you, somewhere primal and urgent, such that you need to gulp down a fistful of air to recover immediately afterwards. And as you pant in recovery from the effort, you can faintly hear the call of a male some miles away. Whether it intends to lead the pack your way is unclear but at least you've been heard and these two have a chance.
Athene looks to Elyf. "We should go. They won't come here if they sense us."She begins walking towards the village, sparing only one quick glance back at the cubs.
Athene pivots immediately and starts marching in her graceful way in another direction, as though having crossed a street sign or something. Eylf meanwhile please roll a constitution saving throw.

Eylfyou are able to stave off additional exhaustion, and will your tired body to stagger onward, following Athene's graceful from through the dark, matte trees. But as an hour passes, and then another, you start to feel a tingle on the bottom of your right foot. It feels hot and tickly, like a lover's warm breath. It's not unpleasant, not at first anyway, but it is incessant. And then your foot starts to betray you--every time you step hard on a root or a stone, or anything really, it hurts more than it should, in that it hurts at all. Your movement speed lowers again, to 10 now.
As you go, you reflect on your foot and this new pain and realize that you had stepped in mold back there when you first met Athene. You think of the tip of your tail which also landed in the stuff. You find that it hurts too, but in a very different way.

Athene, the dragonborn struggles in silence, but you too are growing weary, having not rested in some time. In fact, you are starting to slow down yourself. Might it be time to take a rest or are you intending to get to the village as soon as possible?

The sun is coming up in the slow, consistent way that suns do, turning the sky the colour of slate against the matte black of the trees. You continue to march on, Eylf favouring her right foot as she goes, the raw feeling intensifying steadily.

What should have been a three hour journey is going to go on for five or more at this rate. Athene do you persist? Eylf do you resist?

Eylf just keeps plodding on. She is nothing if not persistent.

Eylf looks very impressed.

Eylf looks stricken but does her best to believe Athene...she followed her slowly her head turning back every few seconds....
" Please be ok...please be ok....please be ok...."

Eylf sighed and sloughed on, there was nothing for it but to keep on trudging even if she was probably dying...

Athene turns to her traveling companion and sizes her up. "You're injured," she says bluntly. "The Blight?"

" Yes. We'll amputate as needed once we're out of here.", she grunted in annoyance.
"The village is nearby. Can you make it?" She approaches the dragonborn. "I can check your injury."

" I can make it."
" Have a look at them once we are there."
