Lots of modifiers from the orcs and other things.Tracking across bare stone that has traffic often and repeatidly and has for years with the person who just went over it dropping nothing useful should be nearly impossible.10th level may be high, but far from epic really. In the world of D&D this character is no where near his full potential (ie level 20, I dont go above 20 myself). DC 20 is the base, and then circumstance modifiers are applied. I'd have to say that with the traffic, plus nothing to give any mild hints (like tapestries, passing one while hurrying would make it sway slightly, that sort of thing) and without the ability to make a good guess for a starting point (the baddy got through there far enough ahead of the heros so that they didnt hear another door close) would easily be 30+. It should still be possible, if the tracker is skilled enough, but it is definately something that a 1st level character who barely even knows how to track at all should not be able to do without some incredibly mitigating circumstances.</blockquote>
