"Perhaps stealth would serve us better than speed, Sister Krissa. I think you are right and we should scout out what has those carrion so excited, but I think we should avoid making a ruckus when we do."
The Goliath made a gesture that took in his height and indicated his heavy gear. He gave a rueful smile.
"I am not really built for subtlety. If anyone else wishes to scout ahead and report what they find, I can at least help with that."
With those words, Bruin begins murmuring a prayer that, in his subterranean tones, is reminiscent of storm clouds gathering.
OOC: Bruin is ready to cast guidance on anyone who wants to make a Stealth check, Investigation check, or any other ability check related to finding out what the vultures are circling. That person can add d4 to their ability roll. Bruin can do this at will, so if more than one person is going, they can each have the blessing.

The party approaches the spot of road under the circling ravens and vultures.
In a small dell a mile off the road, you find the remains of a battle. A dozen dead soldiers lie on the ground, dressed in black surcoats bearing the emblem of a red axe. Most appear to have died from battle injuries, although some lie in small craters or jumbles of broken rock. Abandoned and looted wagons lie nearby. A couple of broken trunks sit on the ground by the wagons. Two rock cairns — one large and one small — stand atop a hillside nearby.

Four things I hate in D&D: People who think the tarasque is the most powerful (an empyrean or kraken can beat it), players trying to seduce bad guys (it's funny though), when a monster roles a NAT 20 (everyone hates that), rolling a NAT 1 (everyone hates that)
Krissa tries to get a better look (17) at those cairns. "Are they moving? Seems like some earth magic was at work here."
Nope.
Suddenly, the party feels a small tremor in the ground that gets progressively stronger. Then, suddenly, two ankhegs burst from he ground.
Roll initiative. No one is surprised.

OOC: No map for this, so assume they're always within range. If you want to make a ranged attack, assume your character moves half their movement away from their target.

"On second thought," said Bruin, interrupting his prayer, "something tells me if one of us goes, we should all go. How about it, crew?"
And with that, he resumes his humming, ready to cast guidance on any or all who might need it.

Bruin will quickly check the bodies to see if any are still alive. He will cast Spare the Dying on any survivors (if there are any).
no survivors.
Nope.
