OOC: Michael will take first.

OOC: I agree.

"I'm sure the roaming bands will likely find us on our travels, so we won't have to seek them out too hard. Taking them out might weaken their base of operations. If we can't find them, maybe we can take on those goblins and find a backdoor to Mother Nightthrush and her base." Michael...

Michael says, "It's not yet night yet. Let's scout the surrounding area with the tree being the center landmark. We'll come back here as the sun starts setting."

Michael just grunts at her as he takes off his armor in order to make the work easier on his aged shoulders.

"Alright, no stones. And I doubt anyone brought a shovel for digging. Let's collect some firewood and burn the bodies properly then. We'll pile up their weapons, armor, and personal effects by the tree for kin to collect later."

"How about we build a stone cairn for each? It will be both respectful and protect the bodies from scavengers until the magistrate has time to send men to recover the bodies." Michael starts looking for stones in order to get working.

Michael examines the amulet for any signs of its origins or significance. Any sign of why an undead monster would set it up and protect it other than to attract food.

Michael agrees. "Yes, let's take a closer look at the amulet. I assume this creature was guarding it." Michael approaches it and if not attacked retrieves it.

"Well that was unpleasant. How's the pony?" Michael asks while he checks on the fallen soldiers. OOC: Any clue on what the creature was and who the armored men might have been near the tree?

Michael tries to ignore how hard the pony was struck and focuses on trying to bring the monstrosity in front of him down. Hit: 21 Damage: 12 http://www.coyotecode.net/roll/lookup.php?rollid=239606

Michael absorbs the shock from the blow and grunts as the wound he takes hurts a bit more than he was expecting. Fort Save: (uh oh) 8 (Forgot to add the +7 that makes this a 15) http://www.coyotecode.net/roll/lookup.php?rollid=239297 He attempts to strike the creature a deadly return blow...

Michael draws his sword and then hesitates for a moment as he tries to watch for the creature's intentions. OOC: Holding action until after the creature's turn. I don't want to move up too far away from the party support.

"If no one can think of a different plan, I'll go forward and at least try to retrieve the men while avoiding the tree and amulet." Michael is not keen on the idea he has vocalized, but it's the best that his own mind can come up with. "The rest of you can observe from a distance and cover me."

"Can someone summon a disposable creature instead. I would hate for something bad to happen to Poe," Michael says as he tries to see what he can about the state of the bodies from the distance he is standing at.

"Alright Teodor, take point. About 60 feet ahead should work. Let's see if we can find this Vindictive Traveller, and if we get lucky and can reduce more of the bandit population around here, all the better." Michael thanks Hallen and follows behind Teodor.

"We shouldn't make a frontal assault unless we know more about their defenses. Why don't we scout around and see if we can't find their second in command? If goblins could be reasoned with, I'd propose negotiating with them, but they are usually too violent and unpredictable." Michael says...

Michael takes the group out of earshot and says, "We need to turn back around and turn her and her friends into the authorities. It wouldn't sit well with me to kill prisoners, no matter the convenience of it. Let's turn them in and we'll take a different route towards her gang's hideout so we...

Michael adds, "Might also ask if there's any other dangers or points of interests that new travelers should know about out here. A friend would want to keep another friend safe, after all."

Michael towers over Lullaby and says, "Alright sunshine, when we take you to speak with the law around here you'll wish you had a friend. See, the law isn't going to take kindly to your robberies and are likely just to hang the lot of you. Now your buddies out there are going to wonder whether...
