Still here, still want to play.

OOC: WOOT! I am glad to hear that and, I am happy to say, my 'puter is feeling mostly better. This makes me happy. So, with all players reporting in, back to the action! /ooc

With all of the crubling shells having been explored to the best of his abilities, Swipe returns to the group with his report and his meager findings. This leaves only the three intact buildings left to be investigated.

Woden: Skaris seems a bit wary, pacing and emitting a whining growl like he's upset and scared about something...

 

[Krug]

"What is it wolffriend?" says Woden to his companion. "What do you know?" he whispers. He looks around and indicates to the others softly to be wary.

Uri turns and spits on the burnt wood of the closest building. "This place is a tomb.", he says, backing away from it. The woodsman looks a bit uneasy as he looks around.

 

[Mimic]

"Yea, I am not too thrilled to be here either but we are so we might as well finish what we started. As I was telling Tyler, I thought I saw something over there." He says pointing over towards the building. "We should check it out but stay together, if something is here safety in numbers is always a good thing."

Tyler stands still for a moment seemingly lost in thought. He reaches out with his holy senses and tries to detect if there is any evil presence in the immediate area.

 

[Lazlow]

Swipe looks where Aleran was pointing, then quietly makes his way toward the area, making a wide berth around it so as to sneak up from behind.

Tyler stands still for a moment seemingly lost in thought. He reaches out with his holy senses and tries to detect if there is any evil presence in the immediate area.

Tyler: The spell is released and your blood burns with the rush of magic, and a silent prayer of thanks passes through your mind in its' absence. The spell reveals a dim black blotch which is quickly fading and trails off towards the building indicated by the others.

Swipe: As you make your way around the building, you can see prints leading off to the north in the fresh snow. They are unlike any you have ever seen.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Whatever it is it's evil and retreating to the building. Lets go. Tyler says and starts toward the building. Each of you notices that for the first time since you met Ty6ler he is not shivering.
