Xavier will ponder the issue for a few moments, weighing the risks associated in peddling dangerous animals and the dangers associated with those willing to buy such ferocious beasts. Upon hearing Kerlan's dissent, Xavier will say "As much as I'd love the chance to experiment with these creatures and determine if their nature is learned behaviour or ingrained into their psyche, we should probably deal with the more immediate orcish threat first.....hmmm, an excellent thought for my final thesis paper for the Academy, if I do say so myself."

Yeah, if your major is now Bumpkin Hedge Wizard. *sigh* I had SO hoped for more ambitious proteges!
Manny listens to both Kerlan and Xavier, than says: "On the other hand, the brothers we're looking for likely work to keep the forest free of such predators. It might gain us some good will with them if we help out as we can. And it's possible that this WAS the mother and there are no other adults around. I vote we take a look for them, but I'm really good either way."

"Personally, I think I might have missed that class or something. Reguardless, I like Manny's thinking. I vote we find these young that you guys think are around, but we do need to keep the orc threat at the front of our thoughts."
OOC: Very noble of you, Kerlan, but Scotley has internet connection issues up to his .....ankles..... right now, so I think we'd best just figure that Fran can vote for both of the ladies. But, now that I've said that, it almost guarantees that Scotley will log-in within an hour and put his two cents in. But, *sigh* I'm used to him doing that to me!
Kerlan looks at Tylara and Francheska. "Well ladies, what do you two have to say about the matter?"
"We just roasted either daddy or mommy, and you want to go play house with a baby owlbear? And you think I smoke too much...." With a devilish grin Francheska adds, "Sure, why not? Let's find the fine feathered cubs."
OOC: Are we looking for owlbear tracks now? Somebody with the best survival skill give us a check, please. Dang! Now where did I leave those bloody rangers..... And me stuck here with a troop of wizards!
OOC: Manny's got a +2, but do you have to have the 'Track' feat to use Survival that way?

NO, YOU DON'T!! The PH, page 83, says that the Track Feat (or training as a Ranger) is only necessary to follow 'difficult' tracks. Owlbears are not known for being dainty, so the tracks do not qualify as 'difficult.'
[if that is a goood enough roll, then: ]
Capizzio is poking about and then suddenly says, "Is this what we are looking for?" asks the darkhaired youth.
Yes! That's more than good enough. Capizzio locates the tracks. They stay near the trail for fifty yards or so, and then delve into some incredibly thick briars and horrendous overgrowth to the left of the trail. There is a small stream here, and the tracks follow along the bank. Then the stream gets a bit bigger, and the bank on your side is about 8-10 feet above the water.
