"Sorry for startling you old friend, I am just not sure what to think of all of this. It is as though everyone left at once, it is beyond strange." Lorn was past distraught even to the point that he didn't even smile when Darval's flask flew into the air at his surprize. He reached to take the bottle offered by Darval when suddenly the air shimmered behind the dwarf right before Mithnella appeared to snatch the bottle for herself. Lorn accepted the bottle from Mithnella after she had taken a shot for herself and took a large swallow.<br/>"It seems that is the case Mithnella, I searched a good bit of the city and found not a soul besides our furry friend Darval here." Lorn took another large swallow then passed the bottle to Darval before continuing. "From the condition of the coals of the fire in the palace which are contantly tended and the weakness of the scents I would guess they have been gone at least 48 hours, possibly more. Any trail they might have left will be washed away by the storm. I am considered a decent tracker by many but even I have my limits even in an animal form. Our only hope of finding them may be clues left within the city by their abducters, unless either of you have any ideas."
