Tandi is ready to go

"Well, I don't see how it would possibly be of any use, but if you think you need it, you can have the flasks of alchemist's fire and the tiny capsules for the arrows too." Maurice replies.

(OOC: Let me know if they take the Alchemist's Fire and then we're off next post!)

 

[Bront]

"It can't hurt," says Cade, who takes the vials, handing the capsules to Anton.

*Taking the alchemist's fire, the group heads to the northeast, into the mountains, following the map's directions for hours at a time until they find the rough location specified for Sykhia's sacrifice. The dragon's cave must be somewhere nearby.*

Anton looks around for clues leading to the cave. "Does anyone else see anything?"

ooc: Track, Survival + 8

*Anton notices several pairs of tracks. One group has lots of humanoid footprints heading to the town and back. Another has scuff-marks as well as claws, perhaps from a tail or dragging a victim in its mouth, but not steadily, so it brushes against the ground every now and then. It heads off deeper among the mountains.*

 

[Jdvn1]

"Well, here was probably the group that brought Sykhia. This one going into the mountain is most likely the dragon with Sykhia. Let us continue deeper into the mountains."

 

[Rystil Arden]

*As Anton and the others follow the trail, they reach a point where there seems to be a bit of a struggle, and some old dried blood is detectable on the ground, though not enough for any kind of mortal wound. The tracks continue in the same direction.*

 

[Bront]

"We should press on if no one died here. Can you tell what the blood was from?" Cade asks.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Anton can't tell for sure what it came from. Based on the colouration of the old dried blood, it was very probably red blood when it was new, rather than black ichor or something like that, but that's the most he can tell.*
