Koraero Firironna - Sun Elf Rogue 2

Koraero eyes up the rapidly moving water, his eyes slightly bulging. "Yup, sounds like a good idea to me. Not lookin' to drown today."

(ooc: on the overall map that shows the location of the guys body and the monastaery you cna travel about 6 of those hex's in one days travel and a somewhat brisk space - now after a few days of this kind of travel you will be a little fatigued.)

"Doesn't look like it is worth risking it, but bear in mind that we do not have enough food or fodder to waste too much time."

 

[Scotley]

"I don't much like the look of those rapids. I think we should continue upriver and find a better crossing." He looks at the snow on the ground. "It would be nice if we could get one person across to build a nice fire before we all get wet. Any ideas?"

Durnn, Earth Genasi Fighter 1

Durnn looks around at the group... "Dunno... can anyone swim? I know I can't. I say, we all try to make it around, rather that leaving one of us alone on the other side of the rapids with no back-up."

"Up river it is." says Sten as everyone agrees, then starts out in that direction not wanting to waste what daylight is left. He would feel better on the other side tonight if possible.

Chapter 2 - River Crossing

The party decides that the river just might be too much for them and they wisely move up-stream to look for a better way across. If all else fails they can just go up and around where the river starts and won't have to worry about. somewhat jokingly Pemberton asks Mindal how the weather will be during the night and the next day and Mindal happily responds that the current storm that seems to be moving in will be gone within the hour and tomorrow will be a gloriously bright day with nary a cloud in the sky.

After about an hours travel the weather takes a turn for the worse as you continue to follow the river to the north. You come around a formation of rocks and see that the river disappears into a ravine with no space to walk along the river banks, buit you do spot a path that leads up the side of the ravine and then disappears around a bend. As you group together and decide on what to do, both Mindal and Talon notice some humanoid tracks leading up the path. As you follow the tracks and the path up the side of the ravine with the river crashing against the sides below you Sten and Pemberton notice a cave opening ahead with a little wisp of smoke coming out the entrance. They point this out to the group and move back down the path a little bit to get out of sight form the opening. You think this cave would be a great place to spend the night out of the worsening weather but you think it might be already occupied, possibly by whatever left the tracks you have been following.



Spot Checks:
Durnn - Spot=4
Mindal - Spot=14
Sten - Spot=20
Pemberton - Spot=24
Brenden - Spot=14
Kor - Spot=2

Tired, cold, and not really looking forward to the crossing, Sten says, ”I think we should go in.”

Mindal Human Scout

Mindal will examine the tracks carefully and try to determine how many creatures might be inside and how big they are if not what they are.

OOC: Let's hope he's better with this than weather, otherwise he's likely to suggest a dozen titans are inside.

Mindal silently and quickly creeps closer to the cave to try and get a better view at the tracks to hopefully determine who made the tracks and possibly how many. Unfortuneatly with the snow storm raging he is unable to determine the tracks clearly in the sludge.

(ooc: Again I highly suggest you make your own skill rolls whenver possible as it looks like when I roll them I roll poorly, lets hope I continue to roll like this in combat )
