"He said a man in a blue cloak and silver gauntlet stole it. I'm not sure where he went. Give me a minute to get my stuff, and then we can go after him."

He nods "I'm Castor by the way. And I think I know where he went."

"I'm Ebony," I say. I start to go back to the clearing, wanting to make sure I don't forget anything.

You reach the clearing in about 6 minutes

I begin to take down the tent.

You manage to take down the tent and put it back in your backpack.

"So, which way?" I ask Castor.

"follow me" he begins to follow the trail as you walk he explains some things "If the thief was smart and they must be to have gotten the sanctified water then they would not leave the trail. These woods are dangerous the trail is the only safe way to get through them. Soon he would have come across a pass. This pass in fact." He stops at a pass there are two trails one to the left and one to the right.

I squint at the paths to see if there's anything that differentiates the two. "Which way would he have taken?"

Castor smirks "left. Seeing as the right road leads to my place." he walks along the left. "Now I should warn you if we follow the left there is only ONE place he could have gone. and believe me it's not pleasant."
