Hunter:AC (17) CMD (15) 19/23 HP +3 nonlethal damage, Heroism (+2 skill checks, attacks, and saves)<br/><br/>Hunter could feel her hopes rise that one of their companions was safe...the fight against the orcs had been brutal, but to achieve something beyond survival, even if Yustissa had been taken. At this point any sort of victory would be enough given how bleak their situation had become.<br/><br/>But she could feel her heart sink when Bree returned without her companion. It didn't take much to figure out what had occurred. Now Hunter cursed herself for not chasing after Kursk. It had been a decision in the heat of the moment but now another of them had been lost for now. And who knew how long it would take to recover their companions?<br/><br/>Unfortunately this was now the time for the hard decisions. Hunter knew the most logical move would be to rescue those they could rather than chase into an unknown situation. She considered what Bree said "Given the amount of unfriendly folks around here I'm not sure what the best route to escape would be. Back the way we came would lead us back to the zombies and certain death." she said "I would worry about splitting up, but maybe it might make sense to not all go down to get Aleria, but instead see what we can manage up here? What do the rest of you think?"
