Once everyone had their loot safely stowed away in one of the many pockets of their packs, Karl ordered Hawk to find them a good route back to the train tracks. They had a long journey ahead of them, since they had gotten so off track, but they could likely make it to the tracks before dark, which meant they could catch a train in the morning.
At least Karl hoped there was one coming the other way in the morning. He didn't know how busy that track was, but it should be the route that the daily supply delivery for the Academy took. That one was going the wrong way, but in the worst-case scenario, they could take it to the next town and then switch to go back.
Their rations were still holding out, so Karl wasn't worried about staying an extra day to wait for the right train, but it would be nice to get back to civilization and get a proper shower.
