OOC: I have not that skill.
Dolan gets down on all fours to look at it, "Looks like old writing. I can not figure out what it says." He than gets up and after a step away, realizes he forgot his sap and goes to retrieve it.

Dolan kneels down to look once more and notices he can make out a few words through the grime and moss. He can read the following…Ranger Rick said:
On the Gravestone
Starkweather XXXX
Stranger, trouble not XXX XXXXX
XXXXXXX XXXX beneath these stones
XXXX XXXX one of mortal part
XXX held X XXXX within his XXXXX
XXXX XXX come that came before
XXX Stars shall fall to XXXXX XXXX XXXX
XX XXXXX against Her might XXXX
XXX XXXX XXXX XXX XXXXX XXXXXXX
XXX XXXX conspirators assail
XXX XXXXXX then these XXX XXX XXXXX
XX cast from his XXXXXXX XXXXX
XXX XXX XXXX bears a dead king’X XXXX
X’s are obviously stuff that he can’t read but the rest is visible.
Edit: Fixed for more puzzle goodness

Kyalia also lets Laurel do the tracking, since she seems capable enough to handle that. Instead, she takes the time to look at the ancient writing on the gravestone, trying to make some sense out of it.

Laurel rolls a 14 Survival check and can follow one of the trails heading further into the woods, while the trail leading west is difficult for her to follow.
Laurel picks through the signs of the conflict finding an errant arrow, chipped metal shavings, and even a loose finger in the grass and gravel. The two paths lay out before her one to the west and the other further south into the woods. The trail to the west is much too difficult to follow, but the other trail is much easier and even leads to a woodland trail moving further south into the woods.
The sun beats down from overhead, but even now it is starting to dip, and within an hour or two it shall set. The clouds seem to be gathering and Laurel can see that they will get some rain this evening… most likely after nightfall.

OOC: "BTW the XXX's are not exactly indicative of how many letters are in the word or words that are obscured"
I was already suspecting this... doh!
"Actually I will fix it so it does haha"
That's very helpful, thanks!

Kyalia wants to uncover the text. She begins to clean the gravestone carefully, in order to reveal the text, since she cannot derive its meaning yet. She starts in a pretty random fashion, one word here, one word there, but if the others urge her to get going, she will do so, the children need them now, the grave will still be here afterwards.
OOC: Just tell me how much time has passed, or how many words could be uncovered, depending on what the others want to do, and I will say which, guess that's the easiest.
