Kappi leads the way across the bridge and down the trail. Keeping sharp eyes peeled for traps and bad guys.
Perception
Ali picks up the gem, and does one of those "I'm totally cool" neck rolls. Even though she was not alone and was clearly assisted, THIS fight, at least, showed her to be badass, decisive, and effective.
"Each splash of blood in the snow is another compelling reason to get to the eye of this storm. We should move froward, ever forward."
I'll call your percetion, and raise you an Appriase check (because my mod is higher)!! (subtract 1 if you don't buy that)
"Kappi, take a look at these my boy. You're eyes are elf-sharp."
Kappi's Perception:
Nah, he was talking about this post, where I linked to a YouTube video. Cos I'm a geek like that. :-)

"Kappi, take a look at these my boy. You're eyes are elf-sharp."
Ali gives Davosh a sharp look.
Kappi and Ali look at the gems side by side. They are very similar.
Ali estimates them to be around the same gold piece value. Kappi doesn't see any specific markings, but notes that the cuts are very much the same.
The ambush past, the party helps Vojtek off the icy surface of Wishbone Creek and makes their way across the bridge.
The land on this side of Red Run Gorge is rugged highland. The trail leading to and from the lodge up High Ridge is less pronounced here, but a fair amount of foot traffic still makes following the trail relatively easy. Most of the tracks appear humanoid, though there are a few animals as well.
As you crest High Ridge, the forest seems to have grown quiet here. Even the wind has become still as snow softly begins to fall through the stark branches overhead. Tracks, human-sized but oddly misshapen, mar an otherwise unblemished trail through the trees.
Kappi will be point man sharp eyes on the lookout for danger.
"Liska my pet, do you feel anything dangerous here? Do you sense woe?" Davosh encourages Liska to check the area near and along the tracks.
(Scent, Lowlight)
Ali won't go first, but won't be far behind Vojtek, bow at the ready.
Just emotions, not with words.
Lilska moves to her spot on the map and stops, sending both "fear" and
"Gentlemen, by the pricking of my thumbs..." Davosh then speaks the words and for the briefest moment you see the outline of resplendent armor encase him before it disappears into nothing more than a slightly shimmering vapor."[/b] Mage Armor
Vojtek draws his blade.
The young rogue is puzzled for a moment by Davosh's strange words. Though quickly recognizing his mage armor spell as a signal for danger he pulls out his favorite tomahawk.
Trying to focus all his senses... Perception
Neither Ali nor Kappi see or hear anything from where they currently are.
With a quick look at the others (as if to ask for permission), Kappi slinks forward in a quiet stealthy manner looking to scout out this potential threat.
Stealth
From where Kappi is, he doesn't see anything (except Liska, shaking just a bit).
Kappi moves forward stealthily till he can see something.
Creeping up in front of the arctic fox, Kappi sees a blue-tinged skeleton draped with tatters of unfamiliar clothing among the trees ahead. It does not appear to have noticed you.
The young lad slinks back and tells the others there is at least one skelly to destroy.
Undeath! An abomination again. Let us send them to their place amongst their own ancestors.
Maybe we should spread out a little, and make enough noise so it comes to us. and, there's probably more than just the one...
Vojtek prepares for battle by drawing his heavy flail.
Kappi fishes a vial of holy water out of a pouch.
He waits moment for Edward to ready himself then he leads the way forward.
Ali pulls out her sling, and stands back and to the side of Vojtek. She jerks her head to Davosh to get between her and the warrior.
At your spot on the map, Kappi notices two more skeletons clad in much the same attire. They do not appear to be moving.
The young rogue turns back to the guy behind him. He holds up 3 fingers and hopes it is understood that there are 3 badguys.
He turns back and pulls his head scarf just a little lower and keeps creeping forward. Kappi has his holy water ready for the undead but keeps his eyes wary for other danger.
If the skellies dont move then he will move 2 square directly north. Wait for his comrades to get a little closer then throw the holy grenade targeting the middle one.

then throw the holy grenade
Kappi seems to have the skeletons flat-footed.
Kappi takes a careful breath then throws his grenade.
Surprise attack
Throwing
Holy water
Davosh lets loose a battle cry. It's a poor imitation of Vojtek's, but the exultation is no less genuine.
Vojtek is certain Davosh is channeling the Ancestors, and flies into a rage himself!
Surprise Round
Vojtek closes with the enemy.
Kappi's holy bomb finds its mark, striking the frost skeleton full in its face and sending its spirit back to Pharasma!
Each of its companions takes a point of splash damage as well!
Initiative!

The young Varisian pumps his fist in celebration at the destroyed skeleton!
I move up to Kappi. "NICE WORK MY BOY! Show them what fate brings our foes."
Surprise round
Ali, sling at the ready, lets loose (on Red) once the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch fires off.
