Just as the sun came up the next day, Steime slowly crawled out of his tent. The fire had died down in the night, and there were footprints leading away from the tents. Luckily, nothing was missing.
#32, and also Auxillion, had ended up sleeping near the fire, both having fallen asleep by exhaustion alone. Blaze had not been too far away, against the closest of the short trees nearby.
The others were still sleeping in the tents. Steime had no desire to wake up Ivliw too early.
Steime bent over and looked at the footprints. They were surely not his own... or those of anyone he had hired.
#32, being close enough, could hear Steime's currently-quiet voice: "Strange footprints. What creature left these? Hmmm..."
He then started to follow them. His footsteps were fairly loud... loud enough for the others to hear them.
(OOC: Okay, I'm going to make this note NOW. If I end up waiting a day when I give a character an opportunity to notice something outside of combat, then I'm going to go ahead and assume that the circumstances were ignored. When it's IN combat, I'll tell you if circumstances CAN be ignored, and, if they can't, I'll give two weeks (excluding vacations and such) before I take the action FOR them. Unless, of course, you tell me to take the action for you because you'll be away. Thank you.)
