Sorry I've been radio silent. I've had a very long couple weeks and things are just now calming down (can you say four essays?)

Sorry I've been radio silent. I've had a very long couple weeks and things are just now calming down (can you say four essays?)
Next time I need to consider stabbing first.
Not sure where I can have Alyssa hop back in, things seem to have moved on without her. Any suggestions?
If she was on lookout outside the tent you can say she wasn't spotted by the guards and have her sneak around in the camp or blend in to the crowd undiscovered by the cult leader and his goon squad.
This is a few weeks after midsummer, so the nights are short. It's probably a little before midnight now, if you had clocks, which you don't.
Alright, cool. I have a plan then.
Our friendly neighbourhood mage seems to have gone AWOL. Any chance he can be NPC:d to provide a distraction/fire support if needed?
Severin will wait to hear the response to Gabriele's question before speaking.
Gonna FP that Charm Roll: [roll0] vs 41
well used FP
Indeed it was! I want to get Elodie out of here, first and foremost.
Sorry for the delay, was out of town for a trip and was too busy/tired to post much.

Since Severin and Gabriele ended up exiting the camp in about the same place...how far behind her is Severin and what's the distance to the archers following her? And how's the lighting/terrain? Severin can see in the dark and he's a lot smaller than any human. Would he get a bonus for sneaking up on the archers or, if needed, evading them?
Right, if she is actually being followed and there's no one else around that might be worth another Perception test

Hopefully I have reason to be paranoid enough to get away with that.
I mostly need to know how close any cover is. Also, is Louis armed at all?
The archers are about 10 meters behind her. Severin is another 10-20 meters away from them. Louis has a bow and a knife. The rocky hillsides are covered in heavy, jagged rocks like here:

As far as evading them, it's dark, so now that you're away from the fire, they'll have penalties to finding/shooting/etc that you won't thanks to your keen hobbit eyes.
perception test for pursuers: [roll0]
Might be being too cautious but I don't want to start a fight unless we have to.
Alternatively we head south to the Empire, which is closer, and look for people who aren't cultists.
Sorry for the silence, I've had some family stuff going on.
No worries. Hope everything is going well.
[roll0] for navigation
4 passes thankfully.
I also have Outdoor Survival if that's more appropriate, but it's an Int test either way.
How bad is our water/food situation?
Since we're headed back the way we came, is it fair to assume that we know where the next waterhole is located?
Outdoor Survival to know the best place to find water around here.

FP if needed (if it's tomorrow they've reset)

The nearest watering hole that you know of is the lake in K6. You're in L4 at the moment. The food and water situation is not great. As far as supplies are concerned, "Pack for a few nights camping in the rough and we'll need some extra supplies for my friends and miss Elodie" so you probably have another two days of rations. Water is the sticking point in the desert. Gabriele can find out out which plants will get you water (think cactuses) if you chew them, which will keep you going, although having to stop for that will slow you down. Also resting during the hottest part of the day and only travelling in the morning and evening, although that will also slow you down.
Alright, so we're in a tight spot. Water is obviously the most important problem to fix - how many days travel is it to the lake? It's only two squares away on the map.
And assuming we manage to return by as direct a route as possible, how many days is it before we're back in Elodie's village, or at least in relatively friendly and/or fertile lands?
