Reimian Empire

I have already taken action and cleared the post with the characters; the role-playing regarding this matter is up to you. You can role-play it, or you can ignore it.

What do you mean? I'm serious; I'm requesting checks. I understand everything, but when something important happens during an expedition, it can't just happen out of nowhere. It's one thing if he were standing alone in a room, or if he wrote something like, "I'm moving away from the rest of the group; I'll deal with it later." But essentially, none of that happened, which means there was a certain chance that he could have been stopped.
