Okay, so I was exploring the Forest, level 1 with a party of two wolves. I fought a badger that gravely wounded my female wolf Ikiara, and made her flee. While I was exploring, I opened another tab and tried to explore so I could see if the cool down had gone away so I could bring Ikiara back into the Forest. I left the original tab where I had been exploring open. In the second tab, the one I was using to test the cool down, it gave me the cool down message. I thought, okay, I guess I just have to wait a while longer. And when I went back to my original tab where it was suppose to be just Asphieren, my male wolf, exploring, Ikiara had somehow rejoined the exploring party.

When you submit new information into a new Explore session, the old one will be overwritten.
