(OOC: No, if you have an encounter planned for the other player characters, go ahead. I'm not out to ruin anyone else's fun. I had solo encounters while the others were waiting for me, so turnabout is fair play. I just wish you'd used the opportunity I gave you to take Andy along so I could be part of it. That was the idea behind coming out and making sure they had the information. Of course, if you can hold of the encounter till the player characters all are together again, that would be good too. And from what's just happened, that should be soon.<br/><br/>That's another thing to note as GM, having the party split up increases your workload and leaves people out of the action. While it may be needed for the story, take any opportunity you can to bring the party back together when the separation has performed it's purpose.)<br/><br/>Andy was a light sleeper, and had acute hearing. He thought he heard Thar calling him, and woke, somewhat muzzily. "Huh?"<br/><br/>By now the early morning light was coming in through the window. The sun wasn't yet up, but the dawnlight showed it wouldn't be long. He hadn't had more than a few hours of sleep, but it had been enough to take the edge off his fatigue. He also realised that his stomach had caught up with him, as he was now ravenously hungry.<br/><br/>With a fond look over at May, he disengaged himself gently from the bedclothes and her, trying not to wake her up. He dug into his diminished pack and inhaled half a packet of beef jerky, one of the last spoils of yesterday's foraging. He left the other half by the bed with a scrawled note, 'Breakfast in Bed. Gone hunting for more.'<br/><br/>He slipped on trousers and shirt, noting that he'd have to sew up the gash at the back, and headed out to find food and drink. Maybe the mess, or canteen, or whatever this place had was open. He bqcktracked, hoping to find a perimiter guard who could tell him.<br/><br/>(OOC: This places him nicely for meeting the incoming convoy)
