Lotar
His footsteps were being weighed down in sludge and he slowly passed through the trees. Sorans sodden arms hung slacky over his shouders as he carried him along. Cursing Guthwine every step he walked, he didnt notice the calls of his son till he was right in front of his face.
'Guthwine arrived at camp without ye, and I knew something had to have happened!' he said raggedly as he took one of Soran's shoulders over his.
'Hmph, always the soldier, blast him' Lotar grumbled.
With Kandel's help, it did not take them all that long to get back to the camp. But by that time, all three were soaked through, muddy, and grumpy. Soran had roused, and was now taking careful steps, but the two men were still at his side, lest he fell. Lotar could see the upcoming campfire, and the light showed the gash on Sorans head clearly.
They manouvered their injured friend to a log by the fire. Some of the new recruits were taken aback that Lotar had actually come back, and with Soran alive at that.
Kandel rushed away and came nack with scanty blankets, and draped them over the two men. Kirima was stooped by Soran, carefully inspecting his head, and seeing what she could do for it.
Lotar was still heaving from the exertion as he said 'Get Guthwine here now'
