[LPF] Scourge of the Howling Horde

[Systole]

Barring objections, Sylla and Boots lead the group due northwest.

[sblock=ooc]I'm imagining G4 F3 E2 unless anyone objects. Marching order will be the same, with Boots on point about 40' out. Or is this a single file kind of place?

Boots will assist Sylla, who will use the map.

Can't wait to roll some 1's here.[/sblock]

Iago uses his own outdoor skills to try to aid Sylla.

OOC: Survival rolls to Aid Other, if allowed. Also, I threw in a "Knowledge: Nature" roll in case there's anything that might help find the caves or the goblin camp. The movements of birds who might be drawn to the waste of the goblin camp, evidence of the passage of bats who might nest in the caves, animal carcasses that might have been hunted by goblins rather than other predators, etc.

After two hours, Iago's and Boots's combined efforts ensure Sylla doesn't get lost in the woods. You are able to travel in double file most of the time, but it is slow going without a trail. So far you have not found these Howling Caves yet.

Denizel follows behind the others trying to keep his sighing to a minimum and promising himself, that once he has a reputation he will be able to choose which jobs he takes.

[sblock=ooc]Not trained in Local. Its on my to-do list.

"We'll circle from here and camp down early. I don't want to stumble upon the Howling Caves as the sun is setting. Or would you rather the inn?" The question seems directed at Denizel, but Boots chimes in.

"Ooh! Ooh! I vote for the inn! There's beer!"


[sblock=ooc]Sylla suggests F2 F1 E1, then camp with a half hour to go. Tomorrow would be D1 D2 D3 E3.

As an alternative, we can hoof it back to town and run parallel to this route tomorrow from H4 to E1, then down the other side from D2 to G5.

Votes?[/sblock]

"I think we should stay out here," offers Iago. "We cannot go back to the inn every night, or we will never finish our search. But we should find a defensible spot and set a watch -- We do not want the goblins to take us by surprse."

OOC: One vote for Sylla's plan to circle and set up camp. Does Boots' vote for the inn count?

 

[ScorpiusRisk]

Denizel looks longingly back the way they came, pondering the options. He turns back with a resolved sigh. "I must agree with Iago. Delaying our search sounds dangerous for us and the town. If the goblins discover several sets of tracks it may be misinterpreted." And of the town gets attacked, how will we be paid?


[sblock=ooc]I vote for camping.

With the map in hand and Boots at point, Sylla resumes navigating.


[sblock=ooc]F2 F1 E1, then make camp.[/sblock]

Iago continues to try and help Sylla, keeping an eye out for the goblins.

OOC: Should we be rolling Perception or other skills for evidence of goblins? Do we need separate Survival skills to try and pick up their tracks?

You continue looking around in the woods, but have yet to find the caves. You find a suitable place to set up camp.
