Go looking for them

You decide it might be good to not immediately assume the worst of everyone and just assume that they got lost. So maybe you could go looking for them?

Who are you kidding? It's not really about the players. You just want an excuse to set out on an adventure of you own and not be stuck in this little farm for the rest of your life. Especially seeing as you probably don't age this could very well be forever.

No, you don't want to be a farmer forever. A few days or weeks is fine. It was an interesting experience but you don't want to stay here, bored out of your mind for eternity.

So with your mind made up are you ready to go into the forest?
