After the Ranger passed out, they let him drag for another few miles. They'd been forced to wait so late in the day to snatch him, that they were worried about getting such a late start. When they had finally put several miles between themselves and the town, they found a decent place to stop and get some sleep, as they had yet to rest since the battle. They allowed only five hours or so, with one man on watch at all times, then set out immediately as soon as the sky was light enough to see.<br/><br/>The ranger remained unconscious for the entire respit, but they managed to force him awake by use of pain. They used splinters of wood, driven under his fingernails, in order to bring him around. Leaving the splinters in place to keep him awake, they forced him to his feet and marched on.
