That's true, but I may have an idea. We could get Typhoon on their trail, and leave an opening for the new hatchling. Or have Typhoon rescue the little critters now, and take him with him? That way when the new guy posts, he'll have something to link us to his path.
Well, we still have the journey to make, I want the hatchlings to be taken away for a few nights before escaping. Fear, anger, and home sickness make a good plot, you know.
