The expedition now without a leader, the halfling missing, exhaustion sets in. Holn's young frame was now world-weary, but the pressing question of the future lay in the Tall Grass. The expedition must continue.

"We must plan to leave as soon as we are able. We must press on after the survivors, for I am sure that there are many still."

"Leadership or no, we must continue."

Bermid abandons them just as they are preparing to enter the unknown grasslands. Erk has no argument, since the rule of law is on the young noble's side. But he finds himself discomfited by what appears to be relief in the man's eyes.

"I will go at once," he says to Bermid. "I would like to take Buchek with me. His familiarity with the people's, and their customs and lands, will aid in the questioning." Erk turns to the grasslander and says, "Let's go find out what we can find out."

[Matt, before I can do the questioning, I need a couple things. Where are these prisoners? What do they look like? And, since it has been so long since we started, what information did we think they might have?]
