Fargrim looks at Arynn in annoyance, "A wise soldier knows when it's time to tend to the wounded. I heard sounds coming from the graveyard earlier, and it's on that map."

Resigning himself, he follows Arryn in the direction of the graveyard.

"We are not in a state to be venturing in the dark, a wolf pack would overcome us. Let us take a rest and continue this once the sun has risen."

"I admire your proactiveness, Aryyn but it would be madness to get ourselves into another fight now. We are exhausted and wounded. I say we rest first."

"If there is a wolf pack out there, then it would be paramount someone helps Andrew." Arynn says. "If something is wrong this family doesn't need any more to join the dead. I'll see you in the morn."

Arynn rushes off (probably faster than the others could catch up with.) and heads back towards the graveyard.

Redmond grumbles, "Damned fools are going to get themselves killed. HEY!" He yells to the group that has sprinted off, "Even if you're looking to help, I don't think charging in before you get a lay of the land is the best plan."

He shakes his head as he begins following the others towards the graveyard. As he jogs off he calls back "I'll try to talk some sense into them, if it looks like something we can't handle"

Alan trudges off after Arynn, amazed with him. 

Thoughts: He was practically dead himself an hour ago, and here he is charging off to danger. I don't know if he's brave or stupid...

The trip back to the graveyard was fairly quick. Sight was limited due to the moon was now hidden behind the distant mountains. Daylight still about 3 hours away. 

(How are you planning your approach?)

Fargrim attempts to follow immediately behind Arynn, but quickly falls behind. Even at a full sprint, there's no way his dwarven legs can keep up, and the sound of rustling chainmail and cursing emanates from the back of the group. First thing I'm going to do when I can afford it is buy an ass, he thinks to himself.This is ridiculous! 

Since the graveyard isn't that far away from the city, Arynn will just be jogging up to it. Once he gets to the city gates, he'll take out a torch and light it to help illuminate his path; he isn't planning on any shenanigans, it's just a message trip so not stealthy.

(OOC: Yeah, he's base movement 40 feet, and was rushing so probably leaving the others behind to do it. Sorry, it's what he would do at this point. He's thinking of it as some form of redemption.)

(You were at the guardhouse next to the gate so you almost immediately were out of the city.)

(Fair enough. Thought it was further inside than that. Regardless, still with a torch etc. If the others call out while he's at the gate he'll wait for them to join him.)

(Fargrim will go ahead and call out. He'll already be short of breath, even though he hasn't been running that long) 

"This is madness and folly. Do not rush headlong about unless you can see where you're going!"

With Arynn already out the door Solastor takes a moment to redress his hasty bandages and proceeds after him. 

Can we get a short rest in at all? 11

Ooc: I will allow a short rest for the time you were in the guardhouse.

OoC: Thank goodness

10

(Guess I should take use of that short rest. Spending 1 hit die: 7)

Arynn looks to the others. "If you want to come along, fine." He says. "I just want to bring Andrew back safely. An armed escort shouldn't be necessary."

When the others run off, Taman shakes his head at the foolishness and walks back to the guild. His intention is to report what happened with the goblins and this new villain. Then he wants to properly  attend to his own wound and get some sleep.

(So it looks like splitting the party? Arynn, Solastor, and Fargrim are headed to find Andrew, the rest headed back to the guild?)

(I believe Alan is going with you as well.)

Ooc: I think we're just losing one

"Foolish as this is, we stand a better chance coming back together than not at all. I will light our way."

Casting Light on my helmet for the trip.
