Coriana and Theremin found the clearest trail. It looked like once they hit the forest the goblin raiders followed the swiftly flowing Cold River. Careful not to fall into the icy and cold water, the adventurers followed the trail. It was slower going through the dense trees and undergrowth of the cold woods.

About an hour into the trail the heroes spotted distant lights through the trees on their side of the river, perhaps about a hundred yards off to the north at the crest of a hill.

[Charwoman Gene]

Coriana snuffs her torch. "We need stealth more than I need light."

OOC: If needed, Stealth: 1D20+4 = [1]+4 = 5 Oh goody.

 

[Lord Twig]

Mindra nods a Coriana, then realizes that with the sudden extinguishing of the torch and the clouds over head it is unlikely that she can see anything at all. "Yes, the dark will by our friend as we approach whatever lies ahead." Looking over at Theremin Mindra gestures to Coriana. "Perhaps you can lead our human friend? I will continue to lead Liam. I'm sure the good dwarf will do fine on his own."

OOC: Assuming the rest agree Mindra will start creeping up the hill as quietly as possible to get a look at what is on top of the hill. Edit: Stealth roll in case it is needed: Stealth roll: 1D20+8 = [9]+8 = 17

 

[RMcCall]

"Aye, I can certainly see with no difficulty," Haldor says. "My magic is largely ineffective for stealth, however."

OOC: A stealth check, if it's necessary: [roll0]

Mindra the elven ranger has no trouble moving quietly, but her companions are...less than stealthy. With a lack of light, Coriana seems to hit every dry branch and tree root as she stumbles and flails through the underbrush. Haldor the dwarf isn’t much used to the forest and is only slightly less quiet than his human companion.

Mindra stops at the edge of a knoll where the trees thin out a bit. The light, now humanoid in form, stands there beckoning. At its feet stands a gilded wooden chest.

[Lord Twig]

A humanoid creature made of light is beckoning Mindra towards it with a gilded wooden chest at its feet...

In the middle of the woods?

Mindra is too stunned to act. She is standing there gaping at the light creature she see before her. If no one else joins her she will eventually wave them forward as she has no idea what she should do at this point.

At the very least if she is going to approach she will want the rest of the group to back her up.

 

[Charwoman Gene]

"What the bloody hell is this?", mutters Coriana under her breath as she moves up to stand with Mindra.

 

[Steve Gorak]

Theremin suspects that minor magics may be involved, and whispers to his companions "This is a trap, we have been spotted. Be careful we are not flanked!". He crouches, and a bush then appears where he was. He whispers again to his companions "I am here, this is just in case"

OOC: This seems like a creative use of dancing lights ;-) lets see if Theremin can see if it is the case arcana check: [roll0] Move: none Action: cast minor image cantrip. Theremin is inside a 5ft cube bush and is now unseen

Mindra and Coriana move up and approach the humanoid light standing over the chest. Theremin disappears into a suddenly appearing bush, and he does note that the light is a dancing lights spell.

The light creature gestures to the treasure chest.

Out of the corner of her eye, Mindra catches another yellow light. A small glowing hand is rifling through the pack on Coriana’s back. It pulls out a sea shell and slowly starts to retreat toward a bush on the edge of the clearing.

[Lord Twig]

Her eyes widen as Mindra realizes that she almost fell for the, now obvious, distraction. Without warning she darts in the direction of the bush she believes the hand is floating towards.

OOC: This may be foolish, depending what is in the bush, but no risk no reward.
