@Balthazar007 My post is going to bring the group one or two hours into the Stantler place, so it'll be covering the rest of lunch, the bus ride, and two hours of exploring for stantlers. That all okay? And, just a few questions to help me along as I write:
— is the group splitting up as they look for Stantler? Or no? Maybe just by van? (split into two groups)
— What's the area with stantlers look like? Lake, tree density, current weather, heavy snow?
They can split into two groups, by bus as you say, with Professor Rowan leading one group and Sargeant Socolov leading the other.
The area is pretty much open feilds dotted with lakes and shrubs, few if any trees. The ground is often muddy and sometimes icey.
