It did indeed seem to be magical, with no magical traps around it.

Well, then.  She went to pick it up.

You now have (another) magical sword.

Manisha swung it experimentally to see what it was, and get a feel for it.

It felt light for how big it was.

Interesting... or was that just her strength?  She tucked the sword away as best she could and went back to the others.

"Did you see where the sword came from?" she asked.  "It's a good sword.  I wouldn't think that someone would just leave it out here."

"Dunno," the kobold said. "There's some bones here!"

Indeed there was, there was part of a humanoid skeleton scattered on the ground.

"...I wonder if this was your sword?" she said to the bones.  "If so, thank you for the sword.  I'll take care of it."

"I wonder f there's any marrow left," the kobold said, cracking open one of the bones. "Nope."

"Nah, long dead," said Manisha, trying to not think about the implications.  "Let's go looking for some food and medicine."

"Right, new god!" the kobold said and hurried off to look.

Manisha stayed close to the center of the foraging kobolds.  She'd see what else was out here...

The kobolds were gathering mostly berries, nuts and herbs with the occasional root. You haven't seen anything that could be dangerous, just small animals and birds.

That was fine.  Just for practice, she tried bringing down larger birds when she spotted them.

(OOC: Give me three attack rolls or anything else you can justify to see how you do.)

18:55, Today: Manisha Kubo rolled 22,27,27 using d20+10,d20+10,d20+10 ((12,17,17)

You manage to take down three of them.

She passed them on to the kobolds, and continued to oversee them, trying to survey the area and get a feel for it.

The trees were pretty spaced out, the area around the road was rather flat, but the forest had several large hills.

Manisha took a moment to look over the road more.  She knew it was going to be important one way or another; she might as well try to get a feel for it now, and see if she could figure out anything about the people who used it.  Or how much it was used at all...

The road was rather wide and looked well maintain, it clearly gets a lot of traffic in the day-light hours.

That could be significant, especially if her hopes of establishing some kind of peaceful trade with the local human-types were going to see fruition.  She looked around the road a little more; if nothing else came up, she headed back to her kobolds.

There were a few small animals investigating, probably seeing if the travellers dropped any food.

Well, that wasn't a big deal.  If any looked particularly fat, though, she threw a quick bolt their way.  More food for her kobolds was good.

You managed to bring down a couple fat squirrels.
