[sblock=OOC]Since Yeoman will be out of town all weekend, I'm going to place the game on hold for the moment. I want to thank everyone for their continued interest in the game. I hope that you are all enjoying yourselves.

Also, if everyone can take this opportunity to update their characters in the Character Thread, that would be great.[/sblock]

"The Children or their pets are probably watching us now, let's be on our guard," Kaelan whispers. He quickly resumes his stealthy post on the right flank. Hide, MS, Spot, Listen: 26, 16, 17, 12

[sblock=OOC] Alright, guys, I'm a bit confused, so I need a bit of feedback. I was under the impression that the group was going to veer off the path to find the Children of Winter. There is no path from the trail the group is on toward the East, to where the Children of Winter are believed to be.

So, the group is about halfway to the lizard village. Will they be veering off the path and in to the jungle to move towards the East now? Will they be turning back south and try to sneak that way? I just need more information about what is going on so that I can get my part of the party going.

Sorry this is up so late in the evening. there has been bad weather here and this is the first time I was able to get online.[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]I've assumed we are going to the Children, cutting through the jungle, unless Steadfast can't make it through. Will a survival check or knowledge geography check let us know if we Steadfast has enough room to get through? I'm in favor of going through the jungle, quicker, and more direct. If the Children are keeping tabs on us, they will know we are coming either way.[/sblock]

[SBLOCK] I am in complete agreement with Ev. Considering that the Children likely have the ability to use common jungle animals for reconnaissance, it seems pointless to use subterfuge when heading toward their encampment. If they want to know that we are coming, they will know.

I'm assuming that making indications to the townsfolk that our group was headed toward the lizard-folk was more a ruse to throw off their non-druidic spies among the villagers. This is not to say that an attempt at stealth is pointless, we still should proceed cautiously, but as we do not know exactly where the Children are, it is likely they will see us coming from far off. Hopefully Steadfast is a magebred jungle pony! [/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK]Leaving the path is not, foolishly enough, a factor I considered. With luck, things will be passable for Steadfast, and our next move will be clear. If not, well, there's ways to adapt....[/SBLOCK]

The group marches on a bit past their resting area for the previous night. They find a spot where the jungle seems less dense, and decide that it would make a good starting spot for their trek East through the jungle.

Darrick finds that he must dismount Steadfast, unless he wishes for his head to make good friends with low-hanging branches.

The group moves with relative ease for about an hour, before the jungle becomes considerably more dense. The group must slow the pace and spend more time hacking away at the foliage to make a trail.

(Everyone please make a spot and listen check)

It's not easy, leading an enormous war-horse through dense vegetation. It's led to Darrick cursing significantly more than his wont, albeit under his breath, and clearly has him somewhat distracted.
