"Indeed, this adventuring lark is a lot more pleasing than i had expected. One could pray for a long walk through the countryside in the company of good fellows everyday; and a delicious meal at the end of it too!" She shoots Brenwar a smile that is perhaps a little too excited for this time in the morning.

"I wish they all were this way indeed..." He says with a sort of sad smile before he elaborates he hears Mr Bricks.

Brenwar cautiously hoists his hammer and tries to assist Mr Bricks in whatever way he can. Which turns out is basically pointing out the obvious to the experienced "scout"...

After taking first watch, Miranna had slept well. Perhaps a little too well, as it turned out- she was the last of the group to waken, and she was still inside packing up her gear when Mr. Bricks caught wind of something. She moved to the doorway of the shelter, sword in hand- but no immediate threat was apparent. "What is wrong? Is there something out there?," she hissed.

After thoroughly scanning the area Brenwar points Mr. Bricks towards a small print near a bush several feet away from the neatly stacked twigs. The traps were obviously disarmed and neatly dissembled during the night some time.

As to what kind of track it is neither Brenwar nor Bricks are certain.

Shayla get's up and stretches a bit then grabs her things to head out and perform her morning rituals and is immediately stopped by hearing Mr. Bricks They notice the print and Shayla comes to investigate

[sblock=Skills]Is it possible to track the prints or identify the creature that created them?

Does this look like it was more of a threat or more like a joke?

"Mebbe I'm overreacting, after all whoever it was didn't attack us, only tidied up a bit but i
I'm going to have a bit of a scout around. I won't be too far."

[sblock=Stealthing]Stealth roll for sneaking around. (1d20+9=24)

I'll stay near the cottage while I sneak just in case things kick off.[/sblock]

Just thought, probably should have included a perception roll with that last post.

Perception roll for observing while I'm sneaking. (1d20+8=26)

If I'm too far away for the bonus from Shayla then the result is 25 (both are good)

Cheysuli Sage

Upon hearing the commotion, Chey puts down the steaks she was wrapping and picked up her spear from the wall where she had lent it and walks with Shayla over to Mr. Bricks and Brenwar discussing the footprint they had found. She turns thoughtful and tries to remember if she has ever seen a similar footprint before.

As Mr. Bricks skulks off into the bushes he notices another distinct print or two receding into the treeline and paralleling the road before they fade out.

[sblock=ooc] To track it any further you'd need to succeed at a nature check[/sblock]

Shayla looks again at the pile of sticks and rope and notices that if she squats down just a little it looks like a very crude house with the rope forming a thatched roof. Obviously this is a joke, although played by who or what she is unsure.

Biting her lower lip Cheysuli studies the prints and suddenly it dawns on her. These are kobold prints. Trying to remember everything she knows about the small reptiles she recalls reading that Kobolds are notorious tricksters and trap makers, known for strange erratic displays and practical jokes. As she shares the information with the rest of the party Shayla wonders if maybe this had been some sort of scout?

rumleech · Apr 14, 2009

Mr Bricks returns to the group to relay what he's found and to hear what they have discovered. "I think that maybe we should press on, with rather more care. Someone should track the prints, see if they stay with the road or if they veer off. We're not going to be the big surprises we were hoping for."
