"Hmm I think we may be lost." Nidget and I post escaping my tower imprisonment had immeadiately gotten lost in a forest. Because Nidget is an idiot you see and I had no idea where he was trying to go (the blow to my head earlier also affected my ability to figure things out, it was readily becoming a source of worry for me).
"I could not tell Nidget, I mean its not like we've been wandering around the same area for hours or so it feels like."
"Trezlan when I want your opinion I'll give it to you." Nidget definately seemed more forceful, which lent support to my he wasn't Nidget theory. Or that I was really still locked up theory, or this is all a trap Nidget was paid to set up therory (I had a lot of theories).
"Look I'm a master tracker Nidget, just tell me what I'm tracking and I can find it." Gross overestimation of what I can do... CHECK! Nidget did not seek my advice, instead he just decided to start walking in one direction and hope it was the right one (considering we had been going in a circle for a couple hours this was at least a better plan than what he had before). I was getting worried no one was coming after us. I mean sure Nidget killed the guards coming in, but shouldn't more guards have shown up to check on the dead ones? Shouldn't not so well pressed been a little upset he lost not just me, but Nidget? This didn't bode well for it not being a trap.
We pushed out of the forest of being lost straight into the swamp of being really really cold and damp. Honestly I'm terrible with geography, but I think I could have avoided the swamp. We didn't, and I had to at several points lift Nidget out of amud that was increasingly getting up to his waist (why did I help him? Because he freed me, otherwise I would have just laughed and left him there as punishment). We got out of the swamp tired, cold, and angry (well I was angry Nidget was just Nidget).
Deciding I'd rather not freeze to death I made us a small fire and we set up camp for the night. It was probably not a great idea considering we were technically on the run, but again past a certain point you have to worry about survival now to worry about survival later. And the fire totally worked, in that it caused more problems than we currently had, so it totally made me forget I was completely freezing, cold, and muddy!
