Rolling to look for Troll Tracks
Survival check

Both are swept off their feet, and Infernius hits his head on the way down, knocking him momentarily unconscious.
To Tay> "What precisely did you expect to accomplish with that?"

>>27756
>looking for watermarks
Oh come on! Go to the troll's last known location, then loos for footprints, walking paths, smell, or broken limbs leading back to a village

>>27760
That's not a survival roll, that's a search roll

>>27761
I wanted the d. I mean he is a bull.

>>27762
I had her trecking through the forest past the logger's mill, the place where the party fought them. Trolls aren't smart enough to edit the 9gag watermarks out of their memes anyway.
>>27763
Oops.
Do i roll again? Nightmares have the same ranks in search.

>>27765
Good point. I'd recommend rolling for several at once, like you normally do

[3d20+21 = 57]
>>27766
Idk how to apply several modifiers, but these three are the same
Spot+21
Listen+21
Move Silently+21 (to avoid detection)

"Perhaps you haven't heard but though he's been an insufferable emo faggot of late, and tempted though I am to let him suffer for it, my house and my honor cannot permit that."
>>27765
e_e I said you could have the attributes, I never said anything about the skills which are born of experience and time and not randomly "too-permissive" decisions by a GM. <pooof> being able to Uber-track makes no sense
>>27766
plz no

>>27767
That didn't work the way I wanted it to..
Linking to >>>/test/ for convenience

Okay.
Does she still have her class skills/spells?

>>27767

Fail

>>27770
Can she keep moving and take 10?

[1d20 = 18]
Trumpaladin rolls for spot check, because he's there with Tracy

>>27768
Oh, its gonna happen one way or the other.

>>27773
Watch out, Tay...

>>27773
"Not if I cut 'it' off," Thez threatens.

>>27774
Tracy was severely hurt emotionally when her queen of >rape title was taken from her, when Thez successfully >raped a man she couldn't. She can't let Tay do this now

Fug

>>27775
Bullshit. [Smug taylor face]

>>27777
Checked

>>27776
Don't tell me what's on my own charts.

>>27781
You never tell us, so I have to make shit up to fill in

>>27779
"It'll grow back," Smug Thez face.

>>27761
>>27760
>>27759
>>27757
oh now she steps, and knocks me out.
>>27775
what?

This is there-abouts when Infernius would regain consciousness

>>27784
This.

>>27783
Be my guest,cut it off then.

>>27779
>>27783
>>27787
what?

[1d20 = 5]
Can she roll for Spot again?

>>27789
>5
Aw..

[1d20 = 20]
Since Trumpaladin's spot check did not locate any hidden danger, roll for Search

[1d20 = 11]
>>27789
Wait, horses get an additional +5 on Spot and Listen checks.
Rolling Listen again.

>>27787
>tfw Thez wants to cut Tay's throat instead but GM won't let her
>>27784
Its simple. They're married now, which does not mean she can control or dictate his actions (much though that she wishes she could) but she CAN authoritatively respond to threats to his person.

Is thez still there or did she dissaper?

*leaves the forge. and goes back to the drow.*

Do monster's skills (normally) count as racial skill bonuses? I'm trying to fix my character sheet.

"Back again? Oh lovely. Could you lift my legs a bit, they're starting to cramp in this position," he says with cheek and sarcasm.

Meanwhile, >rape and other things aside, SOME people want to actually KILL shit for once, so they're getting the focus.
>>27791
Trump, with his sharp eyes detects a clear (but very cleverly disguised and otherwise indistinguishable) trail leading from the logging site that trends to the south.

>>27798
Tracy immediately puts her nose to the trail and follows the tracks.

>>27798
Excellent
>>27796
"Tracy! Look over there! There's a pathway, leading out south. It's partly disguised, so whoever used it has nefarious purposes. Let's follow it"
Commands horsey to go down path

>>27800
See >>27799
"I recognize that watermark."
*Follows the trail*

>>27802
Reeeee! It's my 20, I'm the one who spotted the trail. It has to be communicated first.

I can't see posts made after the time I begin typing a post because I am restricted to mobile

>>27800
>>27799
The trail leads further and deeper into the forest. The ground becomes moist and less stable as the expedition progresses. The smell of stagnant pools and decaying plant life can be detected, along with all manner of insects which buzz and crik and other such bug noises.

>>27803
noted

>>27804
>soft earth
Well that should make Tracking a bit easier.
Can Tracy's shoes allow her to levitate over the muddy ground?

>>27806
Yes, I'd forgotten about those

>>27804
Trumpaladin checks the ground. Is it sturdy enough to allow food soldiers or mounted men to pass through?

>>27808
Yes, but movement is more difficult. It's the beginnings of a swamp.

[2d20 = 15]
>>27804
*nose scrunches*
"Eh, I've seen worse."
Spot+5 and Listen+5 checks to sense nearby creatures (you never know with a swamp).

[1d20 = 14]
Spot check

>>27810
>>27811
Nothing apparent aside from bugs and the occasional wee lizard. As the ground becomes increasingly moist and the surroundings increasingly less hospitable, the trail is harder to determine, as its not a straight path but makes many curves and turns at various points.

>>27812
*sniffs air*
Can she make out anything with her scent?

>>27812
Trumpaladin checks now if there are shortcuts through the trail, or if the trail is intraversable by horse or foot

>>27813
Nothing immediate, its a miasma of smells. Some flora, some fauna, some wtfe.
>>27814
Are you talking about Tracy, or are you talking about the Generals? The area is quickly becoming inhospitable to normal horses.

>>27815
The generals.

If by any means at all possible, Trumpaladin communicates the following to Fae
"Path off of the main logging rode, partly disguised, find it and follow it. Single file line towards swamp. Have the men leave their horses there. Tell them have weapons drawn and be ready, look for danger. If you are ambushed, you'll have to fight it out, and call me."
\r

>>27814
[frustrated monster noises]
"Flashy, this place would be a royal pain in the ass to move in, normally. I think you should give up on bringing more horses through here, even the hoo-mans are going to have a hard time. I know from exerience that a place like this is perfect for ambushes too.."

>>27817
"I am aware on both points. Keep scouting ahead, unless you want us to go back and join the main force now"

[1d20 = 16]
Search check
Try to see where the Tracks might lead.

>>27816
Technically having an empathic link with Fae (cuz mount) communicated.
The tracks appear to curve around the edge of a large bog. The ground - though moist - appears fairly well traveled both along the perimeter and leading to and from it. It seems that a variety of life uses this bog for a variety of purposes.

>>27820
Communicate to Fae
>"Nothing spotted yet, but keep look out for monsters."

[1d20 = 17]
>>27820
Inspects ground to take a catalog of the local game/wildlife.
What kind of tracks are there other than troll prints? Anything of significance?

>>27822
There's part of a dead fish stuck in the ground, but otherwise nothing discernable

>>27823
Check dead fish. Is it something that could have been lifted out of the big by a bird? Could it have been left there from higher water levels? Or is it so big or from so far away something else must have dragged it out?

[1d20 = 19]
>>27823
Alright.
What about the surrounding area? Are there any tall trees surrounding the place, or is it mostly open?
Either way, look more closely to determine where the trolls have gone.

>>27824
Its only part of a fish, and its rotten AF, but it appears to have come from nearby, possibly even the bog that you're near. You're welcome to check, but ew.
>>27825
There are sparse, mossy covered trees, many of which have observable rot or decay, though some seem pretty solid. The area is more clear to the south-west, suggesting that it would be more hospitable to bipeds.

>>27826
How deep does the bog seem? Could it house harge creatures?
Anyway, advance South West, all senses focused.

>>27826
Communicate to Fae
"Continue following path around bog. Have men switch from melee to ranged weapon. Listen and look for hidden danger."

>>27827
large creatures*

>>27827
Its thick, there's no determining its depth without wading in.
>harge
I missed that until your correction

Upon passing and walking away from the bog, the ground slowly begins to thicken and dry. Its still mostly overgrown, but with the increasing stability the trail becomes more apparent and discernable.

[1d20 = 2]
*Continues SouthWest, looking for clearer Tracks*
Rolling to Spot nearby creatures.

>>27831
Communicate to Fae:
"Bog opens up to dry land down to the southwest. We passed through with no encounters, but keep a sharp eye. Proceed to southwest around bog"

>>27833
How far behind Trump and Tracy are the Generals ooc?
Bug sounds decrease (but never cease) as along the path there appear to be edifices. Nothing particularly well-refined, but sticks tied to sticks, and the occasional hanging-mass (moss, sticks, and,... stuff?).

>>27832
>how far behind are the Generals
I am not sure.

Trumpaladin examines the evident structures

>>27832
Consciously move in stealth.
Any creatures ahead? How many?

>>27836
mean for >>27834
May as well roll Spot again.

>>27838
There is noise detectable in the distance, but its too far to determine its source or nature
>>27835
They are semi-tribal in nature, without any apparent sociological structure, much like pic related (except covered in moss and have been there for a minute)

[1d20 = 9]
"Tracy, please proceed towards the noise"

Spot check

>>27840
Can see silhouettes darting around in the distance, minimally animated
(I'm assuming Trump is riding, so where she goes he goes)

[1d20+5 = 23]
>>27839
Approach closer carefully to inspect the plausible purpose of said structures
>>27840
*ears perk at sound*
Rotate hoers ears like satellite dishes and hone in on the sound
Listen check
"On it, Flashy"
Advance towards it, quickly but carefully.

Empathic Link to Tracy
>"Tracy! I see what appear to be persons in the distance"

Where are these sillohettes? In trees? What is the flora like?

[1d20+5 = 11]
>>27843
Tracy has Low-light Vision and Darkvision: Can she see what went by after he points it out?
*eyes narrow*
[predatory hoers noises]
Spot Check

>>27754
God, I didn't like Tay.
But damn, RIP in peace

>>27843
You know, ferns and trees and brush and shit. Its the edge of a swamp, with moss and lots of overgrown-greenery.
Brown is bog praise be, Blue is current location. Its more lit than previous areas (less tree overgrowth). With Tracy and Trump's gradual and elevated approach (no contact with ground means uber-silent) they are able to determine that this is a(the) troll encampment. A central fire cooks otherwise spoiled meat, spare weapons (crude javelins and throwing axes and clubs) adorn a rack nearby, sounds of other trolls can be heard from further on.

>>27846
Communicate to Fae
"Troll encampment located. Southwest of swamp in marshy area. Assume battle formations when ground permits. Tight, because expecting melee opponents rather than ranged, mounted, or artillery. Prepare ranged weapons. Some of the trolls appear to be out of the camp, so please keep an eye out for possible attack"

[1d20 = 5]
>>27846
Tracy focuses her senses to determine how many trolls there are (what do I roll to count?)

[1d20 = 11]
Trumpaladin does spot check for number and location of trolls

Also, what are they cooking?

>>27848
>>27849
There's about 10 of them, and they seem non-combative (internally domestic), with an occasional young-troll running in and out of the area playfully.
>>27850
Its foul, but its nature is not determinable.

Empathic link to Tracy
>"The Men are out hunting. We need to look for them"

*takes a few steps back, to make sure they're hidden*
"So, what's the next step now, ~Flashy?"
>>27852
>does not want to back-track, but does it anyway.

How long will it take them to meet with the generals.
Also, what do the Trolls look/sound/act like?

>>27853
*conflicted Paladin noises*
"Tracy... Do you think that it's possible that we killed all of the males three days ago? That maybe these 10 females and children are all that remains of the trolls? That maybe the food is spoiled because they are not receiving more, and these females may soon starve to death?"

>>27855
Empathic Link
Fae> Holy fuck-shit! Alarm! Dragon! Generals are under attack!

>>27857
>>27854
"TRACY! RIDE TO THE GENERALS!"
Points direction

Female trolls are bigger than male trolls and easily capable of hunting. They'll eat eachother if they have to.
>>27857
>black dragon
I knew this would happen
Tracy overhears the threesome in Trumpaladin's mind and Traces off back towards where theyt came at full speed.

I g2g for 5 mins

To Fae
"On my way. Attack it yourself. Have men split up. Make them shoot at it. Take cover if possible
