"Well, it seems we are going carry on." Lucia says, seeing Andrek changing his mind.

"Hooray" She says as wiggles her toes and than looks at them."But we still haven't decided who is rubbing my feet"

After two hours you've crossed two more miles of the thick forest. Fatigue begins to set in.

DC 10 Con checks.

Fort Check:: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 Enjoying the walk with Lady Moonshadow.

Ares gives a quick treacherous smirk in Andreks direction for a second then turns to Priscilla, "My dear Lady Springheel, you didn't hear my brother accept your request." He lets out a chuckle as he says it then focuses back at the task at hand.

"Really that's great thanks Andrek!" She says all happy and giggly

Ha!

We need Con checks for Jeb and Tarvelin to avoid fatigue, and a Survival check to find the Ancient Path.
Male Human Inquisitor of Muir 3 Init +3 | Per +8 | HP 25/29 | AC 16 FF 15 T 11 | F +5 R +2 W +5 | CMD 17

After a hard day of traveling, Andrek looks for the Ancient Path.

Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 +1 More to Track

He smiles at his brother and pats him on the back, "Your service will be remembered." Then moves forward keeping an eye out for any new threats. "How is everybody holding up?"

DM Screen:

1d10 ⇒ 10

The party breaks clear of the claustrophobic woods and enters the lightly wooded foothills after crossing a small valley. At 6PM, Andrek feels you are in the area where the Ancient Path should begin according to the map and the stories the brothers grew up with.

Somewhere around here a pair of weathered marble obelisks should mark the beginning of the path which winds it's way up into the hills.
Female CN Tiefling(Grimspawn) Unchained Rogue(Chameleon) 1 | HP: 10/10 | AC: 20 (16 Tch, 15 Fl) | CMB: -1, CMD: 14 | F: +2, R: +7, W: +2 | Init: +7 | Perc: +4, SM: +0 | Speed 30ft | Sneak Attack 1d6 | Death Knell SLA 1/1 | Active conditions: None.

"So, is this where the real journey begins Andrek?" Lucia says, scanning the area for the obelisks.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Female Halfling Rogue 2 |HP:24 |Percpt:+10(+11 traps) |Init:+9 |AC:15 Tch:15 Flf:10| F:+2 R:+6W:+3|CMD:13

"I hope this path leads to some gold, I have many an urchin to feed with the money"She says as she too peers about.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Once the Obelisks are found I will look for traps
Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
Male Dwarf Barbarian 3 | HP 31/42 | Init +1 | Perc +7 | AC 16, Touch 11, Flat-Footed 15 | Fort +6, Ref +1, Will +2 | CMD 16

Con Check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 Now where is this pathway you spoke of?
Percetion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Lucia and Priscilla spot the pair of weathered obelisks marking a path cut into the living stone of the hills. There is a presence of great peace and tranquility here that can be felt by all, but it calls out in particular to the brothers.

Before anyone can set foot on the path, Priscilla notices a pair of subtle runes that seem out of place, like graffiti on the marble pillars.
Female Halfling Rogue 2 |HP:24 |Percpt:+10(+11 traps) |Init:+9 |AC:15 Tch:15 Flf:10| F:+2 R:+6W:+3|CMD:13

"Okay so I know we all wanna be all'Lets go down this path',But I'm thinking these there symbols are maybe something bad " She says in a farmer accent as she than giggles.

"So does any of you wanna take a look and maybe tell me if they are bad or not?"
Female CN Tiefling(Grimspawn) Unchained Rogue(Chameleon) 1 | HP: 10/10 | AC: 20 (16 Tch, 15 Fl) | CMB: -1, CMD: 14 | F: +2, R: +7, W: +2 | Init: +7 | Perc: +4, SM: +0 | Speed 30ft | Sneak Attack 1d6 | Death Knell SLA 1/1 | Active conditions: None.

"Sure, I'll take a look." Attempting to keep her distance.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Male Human Inquisitor of Muir 3 Init +3 | Per +8 | HP 25/29 | AC 16 FF 15 T 11 | F +5 R +2 W +5 | CMD 17

Andrek angers visibly when he sees the graffiti. He awaits Lucia's inspection of it but he looks like he is ready to charge down and hit something hard with his sword

Lucia recognizes a glyph of warding embedded in the abyssal script. She believes it can be avoided by simply walking around the pillars instead of between them, but of course then it will remain as a hazard to other travelers or pilgrims (as unlikely as they may be).

Pricilla or Lucia could try to de-activate the glyph by carefully altering the characters.

Read Magic and Knowledge: Arcana can be used to identify the specific effects triggered if the glyph is set off.

Knowledge: Arcana: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Female Halfling Rogue 2 |HP:24 |Percpt:+10(+11 traps) |Init:+9 |AC:15 Tch:15 Flf:10| F:+2 R:+6W:+3|CMD:13

"So while someone analyzes my potential mean of death, let someone try and decipher what yon non-magical symbols of impending doom say hmmm?"

Priscilla suggests oddly limbering up to get her self ready to survive a possible excruciating death. And to think she was looking forward to that foot rub!
Male Aasimar Cleric-3 | HP: 27/27 | AC: 15(17 w/shield) T:12 FF:13(15) | Fort:+5 Ref:+3 Will:+6 | Cmb:+4 CMD: 15 | Perception:+4

As they reach the pillars Ares lets the tranquility of the pillars wash over him, he takes a second to take in the momentous event. Though reality sets in when Lady Springheel tells them of the graffiti, anger washes over his face as he looks on to the marking. "Lady Moonshadow, what can you tell me about this defacement of this holy symbol."

Knowledge(Religion):1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 to see if I recognize any of it.
Female Halfling Rogue 2 |HP:24 |Percpt:+10(+11 traps) |Init:+9 |AC:15 Tch:15 Flf:10| F:+2 R:+6W:+3|CMD:13

Priscilla looked at the symbols she looked at them and than looked through the tallies.

linguistics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Lucia determines that activation of the glyph would have triggered a remote alarm and a scrying eye.

The nonmagical graffitti is in abyssal, Priscilla can't decipher it.

Are's can only recognize that one of the original characters in the marble that has been defaced is the insignia of Abysthor, a high priest who was the last to visit the burial halls, long after their decline.
Female CN Tiefling(Grimspawn) Unchained Rogue(Chameleon) 1 | HP: 10/10 | AC: 20 (16 Tch, 15 Fl) | CMB: -1, CMD: 14 | F: +2, R: +7, W: +2 | Init: +7 | Perc: +4, SM: +0 | Speed 30ft | Sneak Attack 1d6 | Death Knell SLA 1/1 | Active conditions: None.

"It seems someone has rigged these stones to trip a magical alarm if walked between. Obviously we should avoid letting them know we're coming, stay as far away from the center of those statues as possible." Lucia says, moving to the side of the path.
Female Halfling Rogue 2 |HP:24 |Percpt:+10(+11 traps) |Init:+9 |AC:15 Tch:15 Flf:10| F:+2 R:+6W:+3|CMD:13

"I could try and disarm it?" she says pulling out her tools. Hopefully she could at least.

Sure, if you want to make some minute adjustments to the magical writing, you should be able to disengage it. One wrong move could set it off though. Disable Device skill check to try.
Female CN Tiefling(Grimspawn) Unchained Rogue(Chameleon) 1 | HP: 10/10 | AC: 20 (16 Tch, 15 Fl) | CMB: -1, CMD: 14 | F: +2, R: +7, W: +2 | Init: +7 | Perc: +4, SM: +0 | Speed 30ft | Sneak Attack 1d6 | Death Knell SLA 1/1 | Active conditions: None.

Wait, can't we just move around them? lol

Yup, you can.

You believe the glyph is set off if you pass between the pillars. You can simply go around and join the path further up.
Female Halfling Rogue 2 |HP:24 |Percpt:+10(+11 traps) |Init:+9 |AC:15 Tch:15 Flf:10| F:+2 R:+6W:+3|CMD:13

Yeah I was more just trying to ask for future possibilities
Female CN Tiefling(Grimspawn) Unchained Rogue(Chameleon) 1 | HP: 10/10 | AC: 20 (16 Tch, 15 Fl) | CMB: -1, CMD: 14 | F: +2, R: +7, W: +2 | Init: +7 | Perc: +4, SM: +0 | Speed 30ft | Sneak Attack 1d6 | Death Knell SLA 1/1 | Active conditions: None.

"I think for now we should just move around them, not that I don't trust your skills Pris, I'd just rather not take unnecessary risks."

Oh ok, just making sure I wasn't reading incorrectly about being able to walk around lol
Male Human Inquisitor of Muir 3 Init +3 | Per +8 | HP 25/29 | AC 16 FF 15 T 11 | F +5 R +2 W +5 | CMD 17

"I agree, let us come back after our task is done here and remove it. Maybe we could leave something here to warn others of the danger?"
Male Dwarf Barbarian 3 | HP 31/42 | Init +1 | Perc +7 | AC 16, Touch 11, Flat-Footed 15 | Fort +6, Ref +1, Will +2 | CMD 16

"Does anyone have any parchment?"

The important thing is that Priscilla spotted the glyph and Lucia identified it's purpose, otherwise your presence and numbers would have been divined by presumably unfriendly forces judging by the use of the abyssal language. It's very unlikely any other pilgrims would come this way and be troubled by the glyphs.

"I agree with my brother, even though I wish this vile marking would be cleansed but I don't want to give our position away. I have some chalk if that helps?"
Male Dwarf Barbarian 3 | HP 31/42 | Init +1 | Perc +7 | AC 16, Touch 11, Flat-Footed 15 | Fort +6, Ref +1, Will +2 | CMD 16

"Priscilla, would touching the rock activate the ward? Or can I write 'Go around the stones on the pillars?"
Female Halfling Rogue 2 |HP:24 |Percpt:+10(+11 traps) |Init:+9 |AC:15 Tch:15 Flf:10| F:+2 R:+6W:+3|CMD:13

"We could try to may be scrawl it on the ground with or once I avoided a path when some kind indigenous folk decided to say' Hey this is our land bugger off' by setting out a steak with a head on it. SO I suggest putting a steak and stabbing the note on it?" She says as she begins to ease her tools back into there proper places and than puts them away.

Well, it took a forced march to get this far. 6PM now, at the foot of the ancient path. Pressing on will require additional Con checks to avoid fatigue (or exhaustion for those already fatigued.) Or you can make camp somewhere near the markers. The path has a tangible aura of peace and tranquility. The menacing glyphs suggest it isn't a place of guaranteed safety, but it certainly feels less ominous then the spider-infested woods you have left behind. There has been no sign of the mysterious observers who eluded you earlier.
Female CN Tiefling(Grimspawn) Unchained Rogue(Chameleon) 1 | HP: 10/10 | AC: 20 (16 Tch, 15 Fl) | CMB: -1, CMD: 14 | F: +2, R: +7, W: +2 | Init: +7 | Perc: +4, SM: +0 | Speed 30ft | Sneak Attack 1d6 | Death Knell SLA 1/1 | Active conditions: None.

"Perhaps now we can find a place to camp. This trail seems peaceful enough, and I'm sure Pris is more than ready for her foot massage" Lucia says with a wink.
Female Halfling Rogue 2 |HP:24 |Percpt:+10(+11 traps) |Init:+9 |AC:15 Tch:15 Flf:10| F:+2 R:+6W:+3|CMD:13

"Oh yes my feet are in dire need for some good tending, and plus a little brub and some sleep is welcome.Also if we camp on either side of the pillars we can use the trap if need be" She says as she smiles and looks at the others getting ready to camp.

Tell me about the order of the night watches.

There's a couple hours of light left if people want to hunt or anything like that before setting watches.

After the encounter with the spiders, Jeb had been extremely quiet. He was aching from the bite he received and still felt a bit queasy. The continued walking didn't help much.

"Wherever we rest is fine. I'm not that hungry tonight, so unless you all need it, I'd rather wait to hunt until tomorrow. I'm still a bit weak from the fight. Normally I'd take our first watch but I'd like to take last watch tonight, if that's okay with everyone."
Female CN Tiefling(Grimspawn) Unchained Rogue(Chameleon) 1 | HP: 10/10 | AC: 20 (16 Tch, 15 Fl) | CMB: -1, CMD: 14 | F: +2, R: +7, W: +2 | Init: +7 | Perc: +4, SM: +0 | Speed 30ft | Sneak Attack 1d6 | Death Knell SLA 1/1 | Active conditions: None.

"Understandable, so then, anyone else have watch preferences?" Lucia says looking to her group-mates.
