OOC: At 60 lbs gear + 20 pounds pork + 150 pounds of wolf ( 2 wolves X 100 lbs alive x 75% gutted) = ~230 lbs. I think Daylily is into heavy load, actually. Unless the wolves were scrawny. I'm assuming he could drop them as a free action, though.

If we do end up killing more wildlife, he's going to want to build a travois.

GM: Wolf over his shoulder seems perfectly reasonable for a free action drop. How is he carrying the pork shank? So long as he's carrying it as opposed to looping any kind of cord to him, he should be able to drop that, too.

I'll admit it does seem rather awkward insofar as allowing proper tracking, but RAW it all works, so with the 'don't strap it to you if you want a free drop' proviso, have at.


OOC: Hlaalen is going to need some time to brew up another mutagen. The extracts won't take long after that.

GM: As far as I can tell, Alchemists don't have the same rest requirements, so
you can go ahead and assume Hlaalin brewed his mutegen and extracts while Relic and then Quioan were preparing their spells. Just update your prep list if it's changed.
 

OOC: Can Kazanto heal Hlaalen? With 6 hps lost if we go into a dangerous fight he could go down pretty easily. There is 3 or 4 hours to do whatever was needed while me Quioan are preparing spells etc, right?
 

OOC: I'd assume the wolves are thrown over a shoulder or in some kind of fireman's carry. In my mind, it would be heavy without being particularly awkward, but on the other hand I've no personal experience in slinging wolf corpses around. The pork shank can be hanging off his belt.

If something comes up, I imagine he could shrug off the carcasses easily, which will drop him to a light load even with the pork shank.

Sorry for all the mechanics regarding the meat. I just can't see Daylily leaving it there. Actually, I can't see him even beginning to grasp the idea that maybe leaving meat behind is a possibility.

As the group gets moving again, Quioan tells Daylily all he can recall about weasels and wolves...

OOC: Know. (nature) checks for each: 1d20+6=24, 1d20+6=14

Systole/All, feel free to look at the sblock that jk posts.
 

OOC: ...I guess Hlaalin is okay now?


Kazanto shakes her head and gets up. "I dreamed we were attacked by pork with shark teeth..."

She joins the group and continues to follow.
 

As the group gets moving again, Quioan tells Daylily all he can recall about weasels and wolves...

[sblock=Quioan]Quioan already made a know check concerning weasels. The skill description explicitly says you can't make a know check for the same thing twice, so he doesn't know anything more than he learned the first time. I believe common practice is that you can make the check again after you've gained new skill ranks, since you could ostensibly have learned more in the gaining of those ranks.

I'll go ahead and apply the higher know check to wolves, then. DC 6 (common monster + CR 1), three degrees of success. Quiaon knows:

* Wolves excel at tracking by scent

* Wolves travel alone, in pairs (as these seem to have), or in packs of 3-12

* Wolves are extremely territorial, but their territory can be quite widespread[/sblock]

OOC: ...I guess Hlaalin is okay now?

GM: Effectively, yes. I can't imagine you'd want to burn a cure spell for 1 HP.


With the campfire fully doused, all magical preparation finished, and everyone packed, the meat-covered Daylily begins tracking the small weasel's trail south into the trees. The party cuts down some thick underbrush that did nothing to deter the tiny weasel but proves a valid obstruction for them, but meet no further resistance.

The trail ends about a quarter mile south of the party's campsite. Daylily can see the final / first tracks are deeper than the others, an indication that the creature probably jumped down from somewhere. There are no branches that look low enough, so it's most likely he jumped from someone or something no longer present.

There are no other tracks, human or animal, at the terminal point of the weasel's trail, though the group has travelled far enough that they can make out the road through the trees.
 


Daylily looks quizzically at the abrupt end of the tracks. "Is can weasel-rat be flying?"

He shrugs and points south. "Is road there. House-thief is probably brings house west, into towns. Maybe he hide stealed house near many other house, to make hard to finding right one."


OOC: I'm assuming from the description that there's no human tracks or such around.
