Marcus sighed and shook his head, not wanting to have to deal with the crazy, rotten flesh-eating, possibly dense old man again... Well, at least, not for a while. Their current situation was quite possibly life or death, and having someone who would do such a thing in the group might negatively impact the outcome. Maybe if the circumstances were different, he would go look, but for now...

"I vote no to looking for the guy." Marcus said solemnly, walking further on through the field of grass. "We have no clue how this world functions, if the cycle of day and night is different, and if the possibility of us getting hunted down by some sort of predatory animal exists. There's a chance we'd be wasting our time if we went to go look for him now; I say we keep moving and hope that he doesn't die by dehydration... Or worse."

'Survival of the fittest,' was it? Well, technically the usage here was different than its initial intent (given how they weren't all the same species and all that), but if he was going to bring the group closer to extinction then it was just better to cut ties then and there. Better to live than to be let to ruin, right?

Of course, this kind of mentality was only until they got some shelter and food or something. he wasn't [i]that[/i] much of a heartless bastard.

The dwarf, who had immediately turned tail and started running (if it could even be called that) through the underground mine, was scared stiff when he glanced over his shoulder and noticed the burly human following close behind him.

"Help! Help! Human in the mine!" the dwarf shouted out, the sound echoing through the roomy caverns of the region. As the steps of the dwarf continued to make resounding noises throughout the otherwise empty-cavern, a pair of dwarven guards- fully armored and equipped wuth shining metal battle-axes, stood side by side. The miner slipped in between the two, who then immediately got into a defensive position to block the human's path.

"Halt, in the name of King Ivran!" they shouted simultaneously, their faces determined to stop their intruder at all costs.
