OOC: I make the voting 2 to the north, 1 to the west. :)

GM: OK, after some debate you head north towards the smoke trail.

Day 2 11:00

After a little while you spot a wooden hut with a single window and wooden door set back among the trees to the right (east) of the trail, surrounded by a small herb & vegetable garden, the smoke rising from its chimney. The trail continues north.

Moving closer, you can look through the window of the hut, and see an ugly old woman with a long hooked nose and black dress, sitting in a rocking chair by the fire. She is reading a rather sinister looking tome bound in black leather. She does not appear to have spotted you.

"It's like out of one of the fae tales my mother used to tell - just lacking the pulled candies and the wart on her nose," says Paaq, poorly trying to lessen the tension. "I dislike relying on first impressions though; she may answer some questions for us, and leave us be if we don't threaten her."

OOC: Any sign of animals about the hut? Either domesticated or transmorgrified?

GM: You can't see any animals at all, and there is no birdsong here.
 

OOC: I'd like a somewhat higher posting rate please - only 1 player has posted in 24 hours. I don't want the game to tail off, and I'd typically expect players to post most days, or around 5-7 times/week. Use the 'subscribe to Thread' utility so you know when other people have posted. It's fine to post flashbacks etc, or suggest alternative courses of action - eg you don't have to follow Bigleg's mission if you don't want to.
 

OOC: Does the hut look in good repair? Any way we can tell if it's been here a long time? Any evidence of more than one occupant? Can we assume the old woman is human?
 

[sblock=OOC]I do most of my posting from work, since time from home can be scarce. Those 'Honey Do' lists can be murder. So if I go a day or two without posting, that's the reason why.[/sblock]

Kip follows the group, putting his daggers away in his belt as the walk leads on. Upon arrival at the cabin he begins looking around nervously.

Not sure the guys we're after would be in a cabin with a fire going.

He makes this observation aloud and joins the others peering in the window.

Don't suppose she's cooking a children casserole in there, do you?

He looks around at his companions and then looks back into the window, taking in the room they can see, looking for anything of interest, either for sign of the shaft or head of this hammer or anything else that he might take a fancy to. Also looking for something that just doesn't belong there.

GM: The hut looks somewhat decrepit, but clearly inhabited, it looks to have been there a long time and there is some greenish mould on the timbers of the outer walls. No evidence of more than one occupant. The old woman looks human.

GM: There's a black stew-pot by the fire. There is a wooden shelf with several large leather-bound books. You can just make out the end of a wood-frame bed. No hammer shafts or heads.
