The Four Lands - Southern Operatives

[Maidhc O Casain]

Mike - Katherine Brightlaw - Rogue/Sorceror

"And again, Caoimhe at least needed rest and water. The horses carry us quickly, but they need a lot of rest to keep the pace."

 

[Rhun]

Rhun - Roak "Cairnwalker" - Warblade

Roak rejoins his companions, a look of disgust on his face. "A dead toddler in one of the rooms. And an empty cradle. My guess is that someone managed to save an infant and escape." Cairnwalker sheaths his blade and nods to Alban. "Burn it."

 

[Dracomeander]

Dracomeander - Ewan Driscoll - Scout/Ranger

Ewan follows the tracks towards the pen searching ahead for signs of the one leaving the trace.

[sblock=For DM]
Tracking check = 24 for info on tracks leading to the pen.
Do the tracks seem to be from someone large or small? Are they well shod, worn, roughshod, or barefoot?

Spot check = 14 looking for source of the tracks or hiding places ahead where tracks are leading.

Leif -- Nijel Bladesong -- Paladin of Light

Happy for the distraction, Nijel will ride with Ewan, being careful to stay behind and out of the trackers way.

Having previously intended to follow along with Ewan, Nijel does not want to cause the group to be spread too thin, and so will stop in front of the henhouse and signal behind him to gain the others' attention. "Ho! Fellows!"

 

[Rhun]

Roak walks slowly across the yard to join Nijel. "What have you got?"

 

[Dracomeander]

Dracomeander - Ewan Driscoll - Scout/Ranger

OOC: Would the boulder or the hen house be tall enough and large enough for someone to remain out of sight on top of? Otherwise, search around the boulder for a hidden cellar entrance.

 

[Leif]

Leif - Nijel Bladesong, Paladin of Light

Roak walks slowly across the yard to join Nijel. "What have you got?"

"It's not me, it's Ewan who seems to be onto something. I just don't want us to be too spread out when something DOES happen."

The Ambush

For Ewan
[sblock]Inspecting the base of the large boulder, Ewan thinks it is resting on a pivot point.[/sblock]
