Fubar takes his time and attempts to coup da grace the sleeping yeti in front of him.

damage
The yeti falls dead and Fubar takes no other action this round.
Azhateran
I assume you will be healing Sioned rather than firebolting the yeti
You can assume full points for the CLW spells!
andreas is up
I will assume he attacks if no post in a period of time
Sioned regains her feet apparently no longer injured....
Azhateran
Likely these young yeti have lost a parent and were tracking the tengu for food....
Your up.....
The yeti pauses and falls on the food continuing to slaver until the food is completely gone.
Azhateran
The yeti seems to be saying "food people people food food people people food food"
The yeti sees the fallen other; howls loudly to the winds and runs away as fast as possible.
Sioned
Rusty is shaking in obvious terror over nearly being a meal for the yeti....
XP
400 each
K sighs and nudges the slain yeti with her boot. "I rarely have this much trouble. Either Luck or the tengu are placing these obstacles in our way, it seems."
Sioned is a little wobbly but blinks and grins at Azh while reassuring Rusty.
"When we tell this story...It was an avalanche or a formidable giant of a creature...not a snowball wielding baby. Many thanks to you sir."
Gnosh puts his falchion away and picks up the sack of goods. "Now we're feedin' the wilderness, huh? Suppose it's better luck that way." He turns back to the Tengu trail, waiting for the others.
"Of course it was a full-grown yeti," Cayde remarks airily, raising an eyebrow at Sioned, while going to stand beside Gnosh. Her strung bow is in her hands, just in case anything else happens to pop up.
An hour after the encounter Fubar finally comes around a bit although he still seems to have taken some damage to his pride. A purple bruise is clearly visible.

Don't see waiting to level, just level when get enough XP
Once the Half-Orc is on his feet,
"We need to keep moving. Each delay puts the Tengu, and whatever they are up to, further ahead of us. I just wish we knew where they were going and could maybe get in front and set up some surprises of our own.
"I ave been kicked by a horse or worse, I still feel like thar be cobwebs in my head as can not get mah head right"

Fubar likely will remain staggered for at least the next 8 hours

Gnosh is looking at the path of the Tengu.
Andreas offers a blank stare in response to Azh's comment before shrugging. I thought... no... just, never mind.
Rather than address matters further,the paladin turns to offer a response to Sioned. Well said. I too would like to strike out ahead of our quarry, but unless someone is hiding a fortune-teller in their pocket we'll simply have to do the best we can. Let's push on.
As you continue to follow the obvious trail of the tengu and leave food out in the evening for possible yeti within a day you find a curious site in the distance and have no doubt that this is where the tengu have gone....
Even though you know you must spend another night in the elements a light snow starts to fall and a bitter blast of wind hits...
You see a large frigid lake with an icy mountain peak lifting out of it you can clearly see this is where the tengu have gone.
Looking at the fortress in front of them, "I think maybe we should hole up and rest as best we can right now then approach tonight in the dark. Thats a lot of open ice for us to cross and we can't be sure what is watching.
Fubar seems grateful for the snow rubbed over this bruises as it soothes the swelling and helps him heal.
Fubar unpacks the large tent and places it behind a large broken chunk of ice which forms a natural lean-to against the icy blast.
"What hit me?"
"A yeti. A whopping big one," Caydee informs Fubar as she helps set up the tent.
After that's done, she goes over to Sioned and says, "besides, the rest will help Fubar recover fully from the knock on the head."
The winds pick up scouring the loose pieces of ice and throwing them through the air...
The sun sets and the temperature drops tremendously.
Standard watch?
will us perception scores late day
Caydee's watch
You hear distant running of very heavy feet cracking the snow and ice, moving away from you.... (if you do something post it next, if you ignore the sounds then do nothing).
Caydee wakes Ahz and tells him about the noise.
Azhateran
The heavy footfalls sound exactly to you like a young yeti at play in the darkness and sleet (no one else would think this is weather to be playing in!).....
The footfalls were close in the begining and fade into the far distance rapidly...
You check the food you left and find it missing.
K continues her watch.
As the morning dawn comes and light begins to reach the area the day should start with.....

As the light comes over the icy citadel you see
DC 10 morning check
A large mountain of ice floating in a lake of freezing water with the sunlight glaring off of the tallest peaks first.
DC 22
On the side of the mountain along the path of the tengu you see strange flashes of red and blue lights from within the ice itself.
As you watch the flashes and hear no sounds, the sun comes up more fully and makes those flashes impossible to distinguish.

"My thanks tah yerselves tha snow has healed my aches an pains!"
"Shall we venture after tha tengu, as clearly they ave left a trail even tha snows can not hide!"
As you traverse the path worn by the tengu along the edge of the lake and as midday approaches you look across the waters at the looming ice fortress and notice flashes of red and blue lights from deep within the ice...
Azhateran
The lights flash what looks like toward you for three flashes and then what looks like a few in different directions...
You see no reason to the lights.
Once everyone takes in the lights you realize that you will be around the lake and ready to enter the mountain at about 3 PM........

"You're also recovering from having your brains bounced around the inside of your head. Looking at it in the light of day, I think the risk of being seen is less than the chance we would be taking climbing that ice in the dark. We should head off as quickly as we can."
"If we approach with the sun at our backs, maybe we'll be lost in the glare off the snow.'
Just as you get out of sight of the flashing light, that were inside a cove of the mountain sitting on a lake you see a long narrow expanse of ice leading from the shore to the mountainous island.
Midday Perception
DC 15
As you are walking you note a wolf or possibly two pacing along with you at a far distance...
A little bit shocked that she spotted them..."We have some company," nodding towards the wolves.
"If those wolves are wild," Caydee notes, her bow in hand, "they shouldn't attack such a large group as ours unless they're rabid."
"Bah wolves es fer eatin when thar is nottin else tah be had!"
The wolves stay away or out of sight for the rest of your trek around the area. After a break at midday you continue on and arrive at the icy footpath that leads to the tengu's icy fortress.
A careful inspection shows that the bridge goes out to nearly the middle of the lake and then a section of the bridge is out of alignment before it continues into the mountain.
The icy path is about 10 feet across with steep edges that drop into the water......
