Assassination 2: The Lost Children

Looking around, the priest considers the place. There is, of course, the chance that tavern patrons may know something, but it seems to him more likely to get some information from people who would talk to caravan people directly.

Insight (1d20+21=27)

Approaching the stable, he talks to the groom, but talks to everyone within hearshot using telepathy as needed if someone cannot hear him in the bustle:
"Good even, good sir. I was wondering if you could provide me with some insight. There was a caravan few days ago on your field yonder. What would you say, who would know where did they went and how fast were they going? In what conditions were they mounts and how much food did they buy?" - Venakhad surreptitiously rolls silver sovereign in his fingers.

I didn't add +2 for using listed skills so total would be 26?

Chael goes out to the field to check it out and see if she can determine anything from the condition of the field.

Perception 36, Nature 31

Malehan doesn't like much to do the talking, so he stay behind and looks at the people. Sometimes, the words told are lies, sometimes, the words are just not spoken, but the language of the body allow sometimes to see through those lies and find more about the unspoken words. He sticks with the group and try to see what people might be hiding.

Alexia is all smiles and confidence as she moves through the tavern. She seeks out a couple men who have the look of farmers and engages them in pleasant conversation, touching on topics like the weather, the state of this year's harvest, and oh yes I couldn't help but notice that one of the fields looks all torn up would you happen to know anything about that?

OOC: Invisible Castle seems to be down. Did the built-in dice roller not get restored yet, or is it here and I'm blind? Well, my diplomacy's at +19 with Words of Friendship. If you FourMonos wouldn't mind rolling it that would be great.

The "heroes" descend upon the small hamlet like a bunch of ruffians, threatening and intimidating the locals or the half orc passerby's. With shaky fingers, the farmers and crafters point the heroes down the tracks trudged through the fields.

The comely bard is able to ascertain in a much kinder and gentler nature that the wagons rolled through in the night hours. The plump farmer whose fields were ravaged was awoken by his dogs. It seems that the wagons were weighed down by the hulking riders. He'd seen the big humanoids before, as part of mercenary groups during the war or rarely as the brute lifter of construction crews. Ogres! It was much too dark to see if anyone or anything was with the ogres and their two large wagons heading northeast.

"The only thing I know of that is in that direction, young lady, is the King's Forest!"

The group must decide if they are bringing their steeds or leaving them here in the town to be cared for at the tavern stables.
