The trail can be picked up at dawn. It is easy to follow by the broken branches and torn roots leading away from the cabin. The trail winds westward for four miles and comes out on a dirt road in the mid-afternoon. Wagon ruts imply this is a more heavily traveled path than any taken so far. The scuffles in the dirt suggest the last group to pass through headed south. There were three sizes of feet, tiny, medium, and large. The road goes four miles and passes through a farmstead.

As the trail was completely evident, Tenpiece led the way, impatiently waiting to get at the evil 'giant' they were after. His evil deeds had to be paid for, and his time communing with his god led him to the conclusion that the honor would be with him to smite him and put him down! He was happy to be on the trail with his friends, their support of his mission also uplifted his spirit considerably!

Yngvar followed the others after their morning libations and prayers and rituals and he had studied his spellbook along with Silas. He was as ready as he'd ever be. It was a lot of work getting money and power and experience, with his new friend Silas, he was happy he had another wizard with whom to build each other up. By themselves, they just weren't powerful enough to survive out here!

Barghujin will examine the prints to determine if they're all made by booted feet or whether some are made by either animals or barefoot individuals.

In reply to Barghujin Khuchar (msg # 4):

There are three sizes of feet, tiny, medium, and large. Only the medium prints are shod; the others are barefoot.

"Are they the same prints from the cabin Barghujin? I want to make sure we get the right villain for this crime, though others might need punished too!" He asks the tracker for more details about the trail left behind.

"I don't know, I wasn't paying that much attention back at the cabin. I'm more used to looking for sign of wolf, bear, or deer. Only the one who was of medium size was wearing boots."

ooc - Are all the footprints headed in the same direction?

"I thought we were pursuing an ogre..."

In reply to Dantes (msg # 8):

Yes

In reply to Gremo Oblington (msg # 9):

You’re quite sure those are ogre tracks, Gremo. They don’t usually wear shoes.

Silas made sure to study the sleep spell again and taking good rest after some chatting with Yngvar. When they continued the journey at dawn, he stayed somewhat in the middle of the group. He was not at all hesitant to investigate the trail or lead after whatever danger they were following, nor did he want to be easy target at the end of the line. Quietly whistling to himself to calm the nerves after seeing the big footprints.

"Dantes do you think you could heal me up a little bit when you get the chance? I Still feel very much hurt by what i endured in that horrible castle and if we are to face more danger i would greatly appreciate being in a little better shape," he kindly asked. He kept glancing towards the sides of the road, just in case any trouble comes straight at the party from the sides.

"HMM, you're right Silas, I'm boogered up a bit too! Heal me too, if you can spare it, if not, save it for the warriors that might need it after we catch the ogre!" He says, thinking of the others.

"Of course!" says Dantes.

He bows his head and calls on the powers of the Solar temple to restore the health of Silas and Yngvar.

18:05, Today: Dantes rolled 6 using 1d6+1.  CLW  Yngvar. – 6

18:04, Today: Dantes rolled 6 using 1d6+1.  CLW Silas. – 6

"Thank you Dantes, are you sure you could spare that now?" he worriedly asks.

Remembering his own injuries, Tenpiece laid hands on himself, praying to his god to protect him in the upcoming battle!

In reply to Yngvar the Mad (msg # 15):

"That is all I can provide for today. The Gods have been most generous which bodes well for our mission. Let us hope for an uneventful day."

Thank You! This was very needed and greatly appreciated," thanks Silas. He continued the journey by carefully observing between tree trunks and bushes, ocassionaly even up in the trees.
