Game Master Azure_Zero

"Yah reckon lycans eats chillens?"

"I'd rather not have the opportunity to prove it."

still fuzzy on where we are, since we headed back and herman headed after, are we in town?

your between town and the half-way house now

Dennvyn nods, "From what I've heard, they eat anyone."

"Okay, so the children weren't at the halfway house and it seemed like they never made it there, so we need to decide our next step, talk to the families or search somewhere else."

"Wonder who saw them last, wasn't me, I was tooo busy. Cos maybe they left a trail, otherwise Arianna is right. But who too ask? Hmm!"

Arianna pauses in thought for a moment, before anyone can answer her.

"Wait! I think someone tried to cover up tracks at the grounds near the halfway house. There was abroken off cedar branch that was a little out of place, and the way the ground looked....someone may have tried to sweep tracks clean."

"Kids might cover thar own tracks, but not likely, Arrianna ken you find tha tree tha limb came from see how it was taken off. THinkin iffen a man did it wit an axe it might be a clean chop."

Barnabus thus begins the lumber-jack pedophile abduction theory.....

"Lets go quickly then."

"Com'on Comwac we're off back to the house we found the body." he hurries to keep up with everyone else.

Sorry I got busy
Yes Carmider I have traveled far, but Yamatsumi has tasked me to bring word of him to far away lands. He isn't heard much in these parts but hopefully by deeds and word I can spread word of him. What kind of body did you find at this half-way house?" Asks Herman

"One that seemed to have had it's throat ripped out while carrying silver and wolfsbane." Arianna replies leading the way back.

"Yes yes, like Willowood says, it was aweful ugly scene, smelt bad too. Be grateful you weren't there." says the gnome as his face pales remembering. "But that was earlier, now we follow Willowood, she seems to know the way. He skips along behind the half-elf, talking excitedly to Herman, the dog plodding behind.

Dennvyn nods, "I do worry that we may only find a few pieces of the missing children if we don't make haste..."

"Yeah lucky us no cleric in tha den o tha dead!"

you get back to the half-way house

"I feel like I am runnin in circles."

"Herman this is the place I was telling you about."

Arianna crouches near a broken branch and studies the ground for a few minutes.

"So the trail was definitely wiped here to hide the passage of someone, they went this way,"she says coming to her feet and beginning to stalk through the brush.

"Lets go then." Says Herman following Arianna into the brush...

Carnider follows, "Did they really go this way, golly ...." he tries to follow Arianna's lead, looking at the tracks she is following. He occassionally stops to write something in his notebook, mumbling to himself, "So that's what she's looking for...hmmm!...very clever."

Survival 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

As he follows Arianna's lead Jund keeps an eye out to make sure nothing surprises them.

Perception:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

"Indeed! Tha chillen have covered their tracks but only to a point. Shall we into tha woods after them?"

Evil GM grin

????: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Evil GM grin, disappears.

Marching order?

Arriana

------------Dennvyn

Jund

------------Barnabus

Carninder

------------Herman

I'm good with that, thx Barnabus II

as you walk through the vale,
Unsettlingly large crows loom in the
branches, cawing ominously as the party
pass, but otherwise not harassing them in
any way.

"Blasted meddling kids!"

still here...just walking quietly

1d20 ⇒ 15

you walk a bit farther and encounter an open field with some uprooted tress. There is also what looks like a drunken giant, looking for something?

Dennvyn whispers, "Does anyone know if that's a friendly sort of giant? For that matter, does anyone speak Giant"
Knowledge (local) [humanoids] (id) -> 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Barnabus counts off on his fingers....
"Nay I speak only Common, Orc, Sylvan, Celestial, and Abyssal."

Gonna let the 1st rankers decide, otherwise Stinky might get you all in a heap of trouble.

"Maybe we ken aid him in his searchin?"

"I know the celestial language but not the tongue of giants."

Jund looks at the giant and surrounding area.
Perception 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Looking at the giant Arianna's brow raiases as she constders to possibilities of a giant where thetrail they've followed has led.

To determine what type of giant and any info Knowledge Nature 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

"Orwe could be killed and eaten depending on what he's searching for." she replies quietly.

??Giant??
in common
"Hic, where's that ring, Hic, She's gonna kill me if I Lost it, Hic."

"Suren a large ring ken be found iffen we all were tah look fer it!"

"What color is it?"

Stinky sees everyone stop, then looks over to the giant. A smile immediately comes on his face, "Oooh look at that big fellow, I've not seen many like him before. Best go help him." Stinky starts to walk over, with a wave and a friendly smile. He opens his mouth as if to shout out.

Anyone seeing this now has the opportunity to stop Stinky going over, otherwise he'll start a conversation with the giant.

"Hiya there big fella, you lost something? Do you think I can help you find it? Don't want you in trouble with your missus do we?" He turns back calling his dog, "This is my dog CarrierOfMyWorkAndComforts, he'll help too. Won't you boy." Stinky pats the dog on the head. As they move towards the giant. Stinky holds out his hand in friendship, "My name's Carnider Dracovic." he nods his head to the giant, "To whom do I have the pleasure of speaking? So what can we do to help, you said something about a ring, lost or something?"

Diplomacy 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (14) + 0 = 14

Dennvyn wonders, Who'll kill him? His wife? Has he been cheating? Not what I expected of giants...

"And so your ring when did you last see it?"

??? Giant:
in common
"Hic, I believe it was around here, Hic"

"Ok so stop moving, we have a great tracker, she ken retrace yer steps. When did yah takes yer ring off?"

Stinky sits next to the giant, "It'll be all right, our friends will help." He then proceed to look all around for a ring.

Perception 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Any other perception checks

Arianna studies the scene, attempting to put together what has actually occurred.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Perception 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Dennvyn shakes out of his wonder at the giant and begins to search around, looking for the lost ring or anything else of import.

Casts Light on his Shield, and Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
