"Like I said, no thanks is needed, I've seen so many suffer due to the actions of another." Returning his hug she removes her crossbow and takes a seat. "Could we rest for a short while?"

Of course you can! Anything you need! he says, making sure she is comfortable. Maria brings food and tea for them. Mira can also see that Cal and Adran's gear is gone.

"Wait, where did our friends go?" She asks looking around, they weren't exactly friends, Cal was weirdly inappropriate with Elsa and the other one, Adran she barely met.

They saw something outside and went to investigate almost an hour ago... I had hoped you had seen them outside and sent them on... but... he looks worried.

"Elsa." Mira hops up from the seat, grasping her crossbow. "Where abouts? Can you show me and then get safe Inside?"

Ontash looks more concerned now, They went off East, the same direction you did at first...

"Into the Forest? Perhaps they went looking for us?" Moving to the doorway the Bard notches an arrow and motions to Elsa. "We should look for them, for a little while at least. Those two arent exactly worldly wise."

Elsa nods and readies her mace and shield, then moves cautiously outside. The yard to the east seems the same as before. The pair scan the open ground but see nothing from here.

"Thoughts?" She asks the Cleric scanning the yard in semi-alarm. "Where could they have gone? Should we look.. This, ok this is going to sound a little crazy, but I had this thought. We all came her randomly, what if the same thing that brought us here can send us back?"

Elsa looks around. I suppose it could... but everyone spoke about some kind of mist being around... i dunno... Ontash said they went the same way we did... maybe they went into the woods and got lost? The forest here is so thick... Without Artanis even we might have gotten lost..

"So now we have to head into the woods and get lost ourselves. We need a trail, a way of finding our way back.." Mira sets to work breaking branches into small sticks, "We'll make a few arrows to help us find a way back." She grins. "I heard a story about a woodsman doing this, only he tried to do it in the Forest of Wayreth.. Its magical and things seem to move, or so the story goes." She speaks as she grabs some sticks. "Just in case they have gone to the House, can you tell Ontash where we are going? Please?" She asks, standing by the edge of the forest.

Handing a pile to Elsa when she returns. "We stay together, note the way back like this." Laying three sticks on the ground facing the house like an arrow she makes her way into the forest.

Elsa rushes back to tell ontash, then returns. Gathering some more sticks she follows the bard's lead. We can't really track them... are we going to wander ramdomly and hope we find them?

"You're right of course." Mira sighs and scans the treeline. "Lets just take a look close by, I'd rather not get lost, out here at night. No thanks." With that she starts to move through the forest slowly, leaving little arrows behind her.

The women continue for close to a half hour, but find nothing more than thick forest.

"Ok, we've looked, either they have gone to find the house. I'm going to say we've tried.." looking back at Elsa she shrugs and turns around. "I'm doing the right thing, aren't I? We tried, the last thing we need is to be lost out here too."

Unless Elsa disagrees she will lead them back to Ontash's house.
