Lone Wolf I: Shadows on the Dorn

"Good idea," Moon's Brand replies. At the urging of her comrades, she indulged in a second drink, which is more than she's ever had at one sitting. Feeling a bit on the lightheaded side, she nevertheless takes the precaution of tying a bit of string or thread to the door handle and her hand in a manner that will wake her if someone were to open it, if she can find some (perhaps by unraveling something unimportant). If the room has a window, she'll put a piece of wood between the lower window and the upper edge to prevent it from being opened, then bid Jesabela goodnight and gladly throw herself down on her cot/hammock/bed, whatever is in the room.

Silver Wind does the same.

If he is not in the same room as the other Kai, he will follow Moon's Brands lead and take the same precautions - shall we assume it is part of the Kai training?
 

The next morning, the innkeeper wakes all the sleepers early in the morning. They have their breakfast and pack their things for the road. They set off along the road towards Duncrick and another waypoint on their trip.

On the third day of this leg of the trip, as it nears twilight, Silver Wind holds up his hand, signalling for the party to be wary. In the dust of the road before them, he detects doglike tracks of some sort.
 

Hoagar squints to see the tracks. "So what do you think it is?" he asks Silver Wind softly. The dwarf looks around to see if there's anything suspicious. His hands go to his rifle.
 

Jesabela stays back from Silver Wind and the tracks. Her hand resting on the hilt of her cutlass, she keeps a wary eye on their surroundings. Bloody dust roads, we should have taken a ship to Ragadorn, or at least a sailing boat ...

Patiently she awaits the young Kai lord's answer to Hoagar's question.

"Hmm. They could be regular wolf tracks, but with the recent spawn activity I'm inclined to think they are made bu Doomwolves."

Can I tell how fresh they are?
 

Hmm, Doomwolves perhaps? Moon's Brand thinks to herself, nocking an arrow in her bow as the thought occurs to her. She looks about warily, anxiously awaiting Silver Wind's response regarding the nature of the tracks, trusting to his judgement over her own.
Edit: I started typing this response before Eternalknight's post was there. Assume this is one spot higher in the thread.

Kneeling down and examining the tracks further, Silver Wind estimates they're at least fairly recent - likely made within the hour, within two hours at the outside. Whatever made the tracks is likely still in the area...

Letting everyone in the game know: I'm upgrading my computer (finally!) and won't have ready access to the boards until I get my cable modem hooked up. I'll still post, but not nearly so often as I was...
 

Hoagar readies his rifles, putting a bullet in it, and his eyes dart around, scanning the area. "Something is amiss, uh?"
