Of Sound Mind II

Aiden listens for any sound that is out of the ordinary, but other than the sounds of the river flowing past and birds singing in the surrounding trees, he can hear nothing. Gholog, also on the alert can see no other people around apart from the rest of the search party a couple of hundred yards downstream.

Adren studies the footprints, and the distinctive foot shape quickly identifies them as goblinoid. Following them a short distance, Adren finds them heading along the riverbank to the northwest.

Jason Master

Turning to Gholog, Jason says, "that's true, actually. Both Aiden and I found these very quickly and neither of us are even skilled at tracking. They must be fresh." He strings his bow and prepares his mind for any possible confrontation
 

Jason scans around the area, but sees no signs of danger.

Captain Haldik, back with the main body of the search party, looks towards you and starts walking over to your group.
 



Seraphina begins walking towards Captain Haldik, getting as far away from the tracks as possible without appearing hurried.

"Have you found anything, Captain?" She asks him, hopefully stopping him a decent distance away from the tracks.
 

The Captain strides towards you and meets with Seraphina about 50 feet away from the tracks. He stoops slightly to talk with the halfing girl.

"We've found nothing so far." he says, sounding frustrated. "I came over to ask you the same question. Any sign of anything?" he asks hopefully.
 


Seraphina takes a quick look back at the rest of the group, then turns back to the Captain.

"Sorry to let you down," She says, doing her best to sound sympathetic. "but we haven't found anything."

I hope this doesn't turn around and bite us later... I know that we can't entirely trust him, but it is too bad that we have to let him down... he sounded so hopeful, too...

Do you want me to make a Bluff roll, or Diplomacy, or anything of that sort?
