Turn is here. You've got a little lull in the action at this point, feel free to use it to do something. Or just keep moving, you haven't got long before you get to the next point.

Turn 5 ------------
Players: I'll run north with the group for as long as I can keep up, hopefully also improving my stamina.
I will also move forwards at a brisk jog, attempting to improve my endurance.
I keep going.
I stuff the torches in the belt and run forward, trying to both train my speed and get some more time for valueable scouting.

Nirur's efforts are not in vain, because the group's speed improves considerably. Jogging, sprinting and running, they cover a substantial distance in a short timeframe and let the curve of another hill protect them from the eyes of any pursuers. Cheeetar and Org are quite exhausted by the exercise, not having near enough endurance for such running. Nirur conserves his strength, jogging at a slightly slower pace, and is still full of strength when he joins them. Together, they wait for Errol.
Errol's torches slipped out of his belt as he ran, so he had to return and pick them up. His clumsiness was greatly rewarded, however, when he noticed a glint of metal in the ground near the torches. Curious, he tried to pull the item out. It wouldn't budge. Using one of the torches as a digging stick, Errol scrapes away the soil around the object, revealing the handle of some weapon, deeply stuck in the ground.
When Errol, tired from digging and running, finally rejoins the company, he happily carries with him a great trophy - a finely crafted long dagger made of steel. The weapon couldn't have belonged to the people of Boottrusses though - such craftsmanship would be beyond mere farmers and peasants.
