In the inn, Sylla spreads the map on a table for Mallie and the group to examine. "First attack, tracks lead northeast," she says, drawing a line toward the top right with a bit of charcoal. "Second attack, tracks are less clear, but probably north or northwest." She shades an area to represent the uncertainty of the information.

She then circles where the shaded area intersects the line. "We can expect them to be here, roughly. Are there terrain features that goblins would be drawn to? A lake, a barrow, a hill?"


[sblock=ooc]For accounting purposes, was the map a freebie or did it cost 50gp?[/sblock]

OOC: Speaking of that, I'm going to be AFK from this afternoon until Monday night due to the holiday. Possibly Tuesday morning.
 

Iago looks on as Sylla explains the situation, then briefly glances out the window and takes note of the breeze. It occurs to him it would be best for them to start their search downwind from the expected location, allowing Boots the chance to smell the camp and reducing the chance that any wolves in the camp will catch their scent.

OOC: I'm around over the weekend, but there's no reason to push on with two players down. I'd really miss Boots and Denizel! Oh, and Sylla.
 

Denizel just nods at all the suggestions, as he looks over someone's shoulders towards the map.

[sblock=ooc]Denizel is ready to go. He'll stow his bedroll and tent on Boots and follow the tracking/travel suggestions of his more hands-on colleagues.

Mallie looks at the area on the map.

She replies, "No lakes out that way. Wooden hills mostly. Nothing more I can tell you personally as I don't make it out that far. Particularly since the goblin raids started. Do you think the goblins are camped out that way?"

GM: Actually finding the goblin lair is a CR1 Skill Challenge. You guys will need 3-4 successes before making 2 failures (as a group). There are various skills that you can use, but that's all I will saw for now, letting you guys give it a shot.

OOC: My apologies for the delay in my posting. Over the past two days I've been busy and also plagued with headaches so that when I did find time to get online I only felt capable of answering PMs before needing to log off.


Agno doesn't seem too disappointed that the armor didn't turn out to be what he initially thought. He brushes it off and spends a bit of time looking it over before nodding.

"Hurrr... not what I first thought but better than what I am in wearings. And no need to be selling this."

He ties the feather back into his hair, removes the wooden armor that he wears to sell it to Mallie and purchases the masterwork wooden armor that was stashed under the table.[/sblock]

Agno looks at the map. He walks around to the other side of the table to get a different look then moves off to the side and looks again as if the map will change every time he looks at it from a different angle.

"Perhaps, Mallie, perhaps. Denizel? If you questioned some of the villagers to see if they have knowledge of the location or even direction, any information you gather may be useful. I am, hurrr... sure that Sylla and Boots would best find tracks. I will ask, beseech, hurrr... petition the goddess to reveal the secret of the goblin's hiding place to me."

Having said as much Agno will leave the inn and find the nearest open space where he can clearly see the sky and watch the flight of any birds. He watches as a group of starlings mob a larger, slower flying crow and he takes note of the direction of travel taken by the smaller birds as they harass the larger. His eyes gleam with disappointment as he returns to the inn.

"I was not able to decipher the goddess' meaning."



[sblock=OOC]I'll count the armor as MW wooden armor if you don't object; it is within the villages base value.

Knowledge (religion) is a stretch, certainly, but limited skill points and Agno's skill selection doesn't readily lend itself to locating a goblin lair. Besides, Agno's way of thinking would insist he seek answers from his goddess first and then other methods if that doesn't work. It should really be Profession (divination), I know, (and I wanted to take that when I made up Agno) but again, limited skill points didn't allow for it.

Do we get multiple actions/attempts?[/sblock][sblock=Mini Stats]Agno Phoenicus
