What is the comparative distance between the are where the raiders might be and the Hamlet? This may be information best dealt with in game. | | '''Steve''' Is it possible to tell how large each of those groups were (the orcs and wolves headed northwest, and the orcs, men and elves headed southeast)?

| − | '''Durgaz:''' "It's all guesswork. I only know that Walden told me that his destiny lay in the "land of the dead." That could mean many things. He could have been referring to Cambrial. He could have been referring to the Dead Marshes. Or he could have meant he believed he was going to die. The only thing we know for sure about Walden right now is who took him.

| − | "So. The tracks you found. Here is what I take away from those. Judging from the barefoot human and elf tracks, I think it's likely that the southeastern trail was left by a contingent transporting prisoners, probably from the Darkening Wood. I don't know where they would be headed. Cambrial would be a good guess. If so, I would guess that they will likely be sacrificed at the next new moon.

| − | "As for the other trail, maybe it is Radagug's band - I didn't see any wolves with the bog orcs. Your wolf would know the scent of its former handlers, wouldn't it? Can it smell them here?

| − | "Did Radagug know who Walden was? I doubt it. Radagug is ambitious, but he is a weakling and has earned no respect from his superiors - he would never have been chosen for such a significant mission. He certainly would never have been given permission to publicly execute Walden in front of an audience of peasants for a handful of silver. My guess is that he did that on his own. He must have brought Walden back to his superior at some point, though. That may be the same superior who demoted Fork for fleeing and leaving the rest of his group to be killed - Radagug would probably not have had the authority to do that on his own, even to a goblin. And the road Fork was placed on belongs to the Krankloburz, the Dark Mother. So whoever Radagug currently serves, he is probably either a member of or has strong ties with the Dark Mother tribe.

| − | "So, really, if we can determine without a doubt that the northwesterly trail was left by Radagug's band, then we can follow it and hope that it leads us to Walden. If not, we know nothing.

| − | "I was going to say that we should press on to find the Elves, and hope that they can provide us with more information, but now I don't know what to make of this matter with Valendil's symbol. Any permanent encampment is bound to be far too deep in the forest for us to reach it in time. I still believe that our best, if not only chance lies with Kyuad and his ... friend. Unlike Radagug, Diero was probably at Walden's house for a reason. Maybe he knew Walden was there. And if he was sent there to find Walden, he may have been told where Walden is now. I still don't trust him. But Kyuad does. And no, Kyuad, I still don't know that you did the right thing when you let him go. But I think he may be the only way for us to find out where Walden is before it is too late, so we may know very soon whether you did or not."

| − | '''Andrew:''' Do my assumptions regarding Radagug and the chain of command make sense here? I still don't know that they particularly help as far as finding Walden is concerned, but they may become useful if we re-encounter Radagug's band. Also, my suggestions may change significantly based on what Kyuad has to say regarding Valendil's strange mark.

| − | Incidentally, just to clarify: In my earlier post, when I refer to the '''Sword,''' I'm talking about Jahzir. The '''Fey Killer''' is Grial, the '''Kinslayer''' is Jorg, and the '''Exonerated One''' is Kulos. It appears as though most orcs don't have last names, so I am assuming that those who have earned honorifics are typically referred to by the honorific instead of the name. (Humans appear to use both the name and the honorific, but I imagine orcs would just stick to the cool part.)
