Witnesses have informed her a small group of death cultists were saw traveling toward Witnerhaven about one year hence.

Also could you put who is playing each character? Some of the sheets don't have it on there.
And yeah, editing that information in right now.
It is spring, and to the left and right of the road is lush grass, and beyond that trees forming into a forest. Boulders also dot the landscape surrounding the road. The wind in your face is cool and comfortable. The road beneath your feet is level. An occasional ancient cobblestone peeks through the dirt road, indicating decades of neglect. You notice footprints leading up and down the road, many of which were made by small, clawed feet.
OOC
Shoes tied together and slung over his shoulder, bare feet stepping lightly around rocks and the occasional bit of debris, the diminutive figure kept up a litany of chatter, punctuated intermittently by a needling "Are we there yet?" said half in jest.
OOC
Her traveling companions recognize this mood immediately. She needs to burn off some "steam" - and soon.
"Whoever the hell decided that having armor made out of lizard scale was a good idea needs to get the business end of my axe....."
He was not the biggest creature in the world, by any means. Just a hair over six feet tall though was enough to scare away most of the common folk. He also carried himself as if he was roughly twice his size, having grown up around giants, often cursing various insults in their language...
He shifted his massive greataxe over to his other shoulder, the shade coming off of it enough for Bee to walk under if he wasn't likely to get cut in half when Percy sneezed.
"What the hell are we even doing near Winterhaven anyway!? Is this even a paying job? I swear, damsels in distress are nice and all, but I eat a LOT of food, and that doesn't come cheap..."
Percy kicked one final rock off into the distance and gave a "hurumph-esque" noise as he continued to walk. He really wasn't very confrontational, he was just big, and really strong, so naturally there was money to be made out in the world...
Zephid walked with a uniform stride, one step flowing into the next, as if he were balancing a tankard on the end of his Greatspear.
He inhaled deeply, and a smirk emerged on his face.
"The spring air around these parts is beautiful, but I can sense a darkness on the winds."
His companions soon realized that it was not the nice weather that made him smile, but the knowledge that something dangerous lie ahead.
"Winterhaven. I recall hearing about such a place..."
To keep all the rolls in one place, should we decide on a unique name for the campaign? Because it doesn't seem to like D&D&D&D.
Also should I put checks like this in a spoiler as well?
Under the results of your roll is a "bbcode" link that will display your History Check as such:
History check: 1d20+11 21
This Orokos thing is fantastic.
The last word sticks in his mouth, Sigaerin unable to ascertain if he'd said it with responsible remorse or barely-contained glee.
He redoubles his efforts to stay a few paces ahead of the pack, and quickly scans the area surrounding them.
Perception check: 1d20+3 20
Ticking off on his fingers, the gnome rattles on "Sigaerin will get to smash stuff and I am sure the stuff he smashes will have some gold and thus Percy can fill his belly!"
Dropping his voice, he sidles up to the rest of the group and whispers out of the corner of his mouth "Besides, it looks like M's in one of her 'moods' again, and we all know it will make everyone's lives a bit easier if she can blast something...or someone"
He sharpened his eyes, looking ahead in the distance, and perked up his ears, his hand slowly tightening around the axe handle, just in case...
"Does anyone recognize these tracks?"
Peering down at them he mutters, mostly to himself
"These look kind of familiar..."
OOC
You know that Winterhaven is a small town of roughly 1,000 people and that the majority of the people there live as farmers.
Isidore and Amateurhour's Perception checks
The only thing you notice is that there are a lack of things to notice. There seems to be a dearth of wild animals about you.
Arch's Nature Check:
The footprints do seem familiar to you but you just can't seem to place it. But, your best guess is that they were caused by something bipedal.
OOC:
At this point I need to get a tactical map up for you guys but I need images from all of you to make tokens for the map. Or I could just make a token with a letter in them for you guys until you submit me an image I might do that.
What is the party's marching order?
OOC
way to rub it in :P
OOC
The trees are difficult terrain, the rocks are impassable.
You are currently not in initiative order so you can move as a group or freely.
Photobucket is blocked at work, which is where I was planning on doing a majority of my browsing and posting for this game
And I know AH previously suggested I set up a remote desktop but due to the nature of my work I can't do that
If it would be too much trouble to use imageshack (which is surprisingly not blocked for some reason), I could pull up the images on my Droid but that's a bit less useful
OOC
I'd change the size and recolour the hair myself but I can't get at photoshop for like two weeks so it's super large and his hair is Cliche-Red instead of white.
I will get you a more in-character icon soon
