Message: <blockquote data-quote="Quickleaf" data-source="post: 9071795" data-attributes="member: 20323">Once red blood is fallen, it's virtually impossible to tell what creature it came from, unless you have a wolf hound's scent.It looks like the blood streaks are from a creature being dragged, and then hoisted up at which point they become blood specks that dripped down. However, as you get closer to the cave entrance, the blood is a bit more erratic – there was some kind of a scuffle here with multiple yetis and at least one humanoid trying to escape. If it was a fight, it was one-sided – there are no flecks of fur or sign of yetis being injured.The tracks are definitely a yeti, judging by the position of the 'big toe' towards the rear of the print, and of course the sheer size. At a distance from the cave, there seems to have been only one yeti, probably male judging by the hip width suggested by the track, and probably carrying one or more people judging by the depth that the print pushed through the snow.However, as you draw closer to the cave, there are a chaotic tangle of tracks – definitely another yeti, probably female, came out to meet this yeti. But then there are small tracks that might be some other humanoid with a print similar to a yeti, as well as small boot tracks the size of a halfling or gnome.A set of medium-sized boot tracks are visible about 20 feet from the scuffle, having moved rapidly up the slope (and away from the cave), but they have mostly been swallowed by snow and wind, making discerning more information (beyond direction) impossible.[GM]I'm noting that Russet is acting as an "investigator" (instead of navigator) now, and that Aric is acting as a "tracker" (instead of handing Boy, who has now gone down the mountain). You can use the results of your rolls – Investigation 25 & Survival 22 – for any other investigation or tracking, respectively, that come up traversing Kelvin's Cairn.[/GM]</blockquote>
