Academy of Drell, Part 6

[Argent Silvermage]

[Hi guys I'm back. Was in the hospital.]

Lyrique wanders arond the camp trying to remember anything he may have heard about this place (Bardic Knowledge: 8+8=16) when he hears about the footprints he will whisper that the map said there were giants here.

 

[Calim]

"i have lived in the woods all my life, and can go about fairly unnoticed within them. I will volunteer to with your scouting group."

 

[Velenne]

"According to the map, the likelihood of a giant coming over yon hill should be considered. I am in no great rush to be giant-slaying as yet and would therefore implore everyone to remain as silent as possible so as not to draw its ire. Whilst under normal circumstances I would recommened against the manufacture of a flame which may draw attention to our little haven, it would seem that the prevailing winds will disperse any smoke out to sea. So if our good scouts would be kind enough to bring us back a bit of timber and kindling, we should be obliged to thank them."

 

[Dalamar]

OoC: You guys can't hear Slith (with an i, not y) since he doesn't yet have the ability to speak with others.

IC: "I can only disappear once more... but I can keep myself hidden... if need be..."
Sildarin then heads out to scout, aiming for the same place that Slith went to. As he moves about, he tries to stay out of clearings so he won't be as easy to spot.

 

[Calim]

"I will go this way to see what i can see and will report back as soon as possible."

Seeing Sildarin head off in one direction he seems to pick a course almost parallel and heads off in it.

hiding 21 +9(rolled) = 30
moving silently 17 + 18(rolled) = 35
intuiting direction 2 + 12(rolled) = 14
wilderness loring 5 + 1(rolled) = 6
as the case maybe

sorry did not have dice to do this with earlier

 

[Tokiwong]

Keith nods, and follows Sildarin, "Lead the way..."

Keith moves silently as best as he can, taking great care to stay hidden, and keep Sildarin in sight, not wanting to reveal their position to those who may be watching for spies or scouts...

Roll was 18 for Move Silently, with his bonus equals 27, and a Hide check of 5 plus his bonus equals 15, for the stealthy Keith...

 

[Zhure]

Lyrique and Travellios both note giants are a distinct possibility... especially as the far north has been referred to as "Jotunland" before in many old texts.

Keith follows along silently behind Sildarin as they head toward Slith's position with Paendaerig taking a parallel course.

After only a few hundred yards, it becomes obvious there's a much-frequented pathway, running east to west. As Slith had silently indicated earlier to Sildarin, there are indeed gigantic humanoid foot prints. Gauging by size alone, the unshod foot belongs to something at least 10 feet tall. It's also quite massive, because each of the numerous footprints is deeply imbedded in the packed earth.

Snow covers most of the countryside, except for directly along the path, where's it's been worn down all the way to the dark soil underneath.

 

[Jeremy]

Rallyn is happy just to be ashore again and does his best to set up camp with whatever help he can garner. Looking to shelter first from sight before from weather, and eventually looking to provide some kind of defensible in case the worst happens.

Though what he can do if giants decide to come knocking is anyones guess. He mainly does it to keep his mind occupied by work.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

"Travellios my friend. Could you conjure something to give us an arial view or the area?" Lyr asks his fellow elf. "It may be wise to get a lay of the land from the air. I only have a song that will last but a short time or I would do it myself."

 

[Dalamar]

"Not good..."
Sildarin picks Slith up and places him on his shoulder.
"Do we... follow them...?"
