Understandable, I should’ve made it clearer that Hawk would’ve gotten the message within that week to give him time to leave town and head to the northern territories (it is certainly not close enough to make it within a days journey even at a forced march) and plus it wouldn’t really make sense for Tembrele, a town located to the far south of Elrad, to care about the orcs causing trouble at the northern border. The only orcs nearby were Malakaus and his allies and he left.

While character interaction is always good, don’t be afraid to have Skurr do his own thing too. Relying so much on others to go out of their way to do stuff with Skurr won’t end well when those same characters have their own problems they must face. I’m more than willing to accommodate responses, quests, and so forth for players who choose to do things by themselves.
