The party decides to split up regularly, and it usually goes pretty well for both the players and the characters. The only thing that's unusual about this situation is that the rest of the party is sleeping and he's trying to hide the fact that they even split up at all. | |

I'll keep this in mind if the party can somehow interfere with his adventure, which I had not considered. | |
