Turmoil in the Golden Ring--A Slavic-themed game in the cold (IC Thread)

Dm

The party cautiously approaches the church along a well-worn path.

Neither the church nor the neighboring house show any signs of activity. The doors to the house and the church are open. As you get closer, you can see the tracks of several creatures moving away from the church to the east (You are approaching from the West.) and apparently into a forest about 300 yards distant.

Burian and Ivan both catch of glimpse of (Spot rolls both natural 20s!) a shadow moving at the edge of the forest in the direction of the tracks. You're uncertain what it is, only that someone or something is perhaps moving.

Everyone please either roll another spot and listen check and post the results, or if you prefer tell me to roll them. After a day, If anyone hasn't posted their checks, I'll go ahead and roll them myself.

For die rolls, no need to send me a confirmation of hte result or anything. The honor system will be fine. I do my online die rolling here:

Brata drops back behind the warriors to allow them some room.

(OOC- Now way, I have no honor!! Please, roll the dice for me, if you will. Hopefully you will for all dice rolling needs?)

Misha: Listen roll 9, Spot roll 4 (roll equals result for me, as the other modifiers are zero).
Unless we actually see something pressing, Misha will at least peer into the Church to make sure no one is dying in there.

Only Ivan's keen ears just manage to hear the faint sound of somethign emerging from the water behind you. Ivan reacts quickly and sees what looks like an old man, with a green beard and hair that seems to be made of reeds, coming at the party. His hands have very long nails that seem sharp.
