Retiog shakes his head trying to clear the cobwebs from the nap he took during his watch. "Now what?!" he grumbles. "Frist our horses, now Gimble has been wandered off?!"
Together the party finds two sets of paw prints and drag marks on the ground leading away from the camp sight into the grassland back towards the mountain.

"There doesn't seem to be too much doubt which way to go, only thing is what will we be walking into..." Duc shrugs, grabbing her gear and readying herself "We can't leave him, I doubt they'll look kindly on us returning without our guide, now, who is taking point, I'll do it as long as you all watch my back."
Looking ahead towards the mountain Duc waits until the others are ready and then follows the tracks carefully so as not to lose the trail and keeping an eye out for signs of their quarry.

Alici shakes her head, gathering her things and stuffing them into her pack. She hefts her shield and starts to follow the tracks at pace, "Well, let's hope that he hasn't become someone's appetizer and that we don't become the main course. Retiog, do you have any idea how long he's been gone for?"
Alici curses in a foreign language, but her frustration is pretty clear. She stops to light a torch and then continues running, only slowing down to find the tracks again if she loses sight of them.

"Damnit! Back to this place too soon," he growls looking at the mountain looming in the distance as the others follow the tracks. The barbarian keeps an eye out for whatever may have dragged Gimble away as the others are focused on tracking.
Alici and Retiog spot Gimble's bloody pack in the tall grass but no body. There looks like there was a struggle but Alici also notices one set of paw prints seem to end and a set of footprints begin! As the party looks around the purples and oranges of morning begin to peak in the inky sky. It's going to be two more days on the road on foot unless they find alternate transport. A long road to figure out how to explain to the order they're missing thier leader and thier loot!
"I don't know about this, if the order is the type to let people kill each other to prove their mettle and to obtain membership, I think that we should follow the footprints and try to figure out where Gimble went. It'll be better than going back empty-handed, they don't know us but from the melee." Alici says, gathering Gimble's pack and starting to walk along the path marked by the footprints she discovered.

Nat gathers his stuff and follows. Maybe Gimble's a werewolf, and we'll come across him finishing his dinner. Or maybe we're the dinner...

Duc also lights a torch, despite the inherent risks but can't move on without.

So, we keep going, following the tracks...

Duc and Alici are leading, then Nat with Retiog. Duc and Alici are both carrying lit torches.
Roll investigation y'all.

Alici moves as quickly as she can while doing her best not to lose the footprints, pointing them out to Duc when she can.
