Resolve and Determination
Let's not jump to conclusions here, I could have simply missed them.
Sprinting all throughout my house, I can't find either of them.
Not hiding in anything, not under anything, just gone.
Did someone take them?
No, the adventurers would simply have killed them.
Did they escape? Were they somehow spared from the mysterious spell?
Either that or they were able to escape the ice prison faster than I was.
Whilst I hope it was the former, it was most likely the ladder. Yet, that brings me a deep sense of relief.
Surge is a good study and a hunter with incredible senses, and Antonio is a human and a mage of insane talent. Together, they surely would be able to survive.
Being rational people, it's obvious what they would do if they both escaped at the same time. Dead south to the nearest town for safety, and try to survive whilst learning what happened.
