CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA Game (ToEE)

[Dog Moon]

"You are probably the least likely to be caught Deren, however, if you are, I swear that I shall do my utmost to assist you or avenge you as is appropriate." Shoon clasps his fist to his chest as a sign of commitment.

"I sincerely hope that will never be the case, but I suppose I appreciate the thought," Deren says wryly before leaving.

[Sblock=DM]OOC: Survival check +6. Are there tracks? How new/old are they? Deren checks as he's peering through the window and then outside, but he's not going to leave from hiding quite yet.[/sblock]

Deren does note many tracks in the muddy ground between the cottage and the barn. Judging by what he can see of the prints, it looks as though a group of humanoids left the house for the barn, and then rode off on horses from the barn.

It is hard to determine numbers and such without a closer examination.

[Dog Moon]

[sblock=DM]Deren will take a few moments to determine their numbers and then return to report the fact that the inhabitants are gone and hopefully, a more accurate tally of their numbers than what the prisoner gave them.[/sblock]

Deren moves to investigate the tracks more carefully, finding it fairly easy in the soft ground. A set of human boot prints appears to lead from the well to the cottage. Then it appears as if at least a half-dozen boots leave the cottage for the barn. From there, the trail of boots disappears and a trail of hoof-prints begins, heading into the woods north of the clearing.

"It looks like the bandits are gone," Deren tells the others. "They rode north a little while ago. Unfortunately I can't tell you where they're going or when they'll be back."

 

[Dire Lemming]

"Hm, they might be going out on a raid, but if there really are only six of them they would not be able to do much. I suggest that we try to follow them and see what they are doing." Shoon pauses for a moment and then turns to Deren. "What else did you see in there Deren?"

 

[InVinoVeritas]

Ciaran shrugs. "Why should we tire ourselves trying to reach them when here is where they return to? If we are determined to meet them, then we can wait for them here. Galliard can call when they approach. In the meantime, let us keep them from gaining the use of whatever may be here."

 

[Dog Moon]

"I saw some barrels and crates within the building. Not much else. I don't know if there's anything inside or not though," he tells the others.

 

[Dire Lemming]

"It may be simpler to lie in wait for them here, but we do not know why they have left. For all we know they could be joining with more of their allies and bringing them back here. They may also be heading out in order to commit assault and robbery. If either of those are the case then waiting here for their return in not a good idea. Some of us at least should follow them, if only to keep an eye on them."

 

[InVinoVeritas]

"Barrels and crates? Could be some supplies. Or a trap. Or nothing. How should we tell the difference?

I could toss a Web in. See what happens. What do we hope to gain? This cottage might make for a good camp. Or we could torch it now."
