((OOG Oh that would have been close...lol you needed EXACTLY 13 damage...lol))

The druid falls down dead, and the bears roar loudly as a bonfire as their essences are transported back into the shard on the druid's necklace. 

Kora looks up. "Who's got the child?"

Sylrie looks around, "Not I..." he then approaches the druid to confirm they are dead and to check them for anything of importance. 

Kash's big dirt hand picks up the dead ashbound and smashes them in to the ground a few times.

Then he snorts heavily through his nose

From the air, Aria looks for the kid.

Perception: 16

Aria, you will see him hiding in a hollowed-out log. His little legs are barely visible. 

As Kash smashes the dead druid's body, you hear the roar of the fire coming from the village and more screams and shouts.

Sylrie, once the body is done being beat by Kash you can give me an Investigation check, please? 

Kash looks towards where the screams are coming from and then back at Kora, like a dog waiting to be let off the leash.

Kora will mount Mustard again, hoping to use the height advantage to find the child, but is distracted by the sounds from the village. "LT?! Orders?"

Investigation: 12

"Okay, Greywind, good job. Move forward to the village, use caution. Be prepared for anything, stagger yourselves. When dealing with fire magic, it's best to not group up in one spot." Dot rides forward and continues, "Sarge find that child, keep him safe."

"Greywind, move out!"

Kora, Perception check, please?

Kash, you will hear the screams coming from the village up ahead. 

Sylrie, as you search the pulverized body of the druid you will find some arrows lodged in his body, a component pouch (herbs and spells components), a wooden staff on his back, and an Eberron dragonshard necklace on his neck. It glows with the light of a bonfire, but on a much, much smaller scale. 

Once Kash was satisfied the ashbound was dead he'd drop concentration on his spell and the hand retracts back in to the earth.  He'll grab Maple Stirrup, mount up and fall in line

Aria points out where the child is hiding, swooping down to be able to be heard without screaming. "The child's down there, in the log."

Sylrie secures each of the items from the druid and then returns to Aurala's Pride and follows the others into the town. 

Percival follows behind, putting some distance between himself and the others like the LT said.

Kora's Perception check: 10

Kora, you see Sarge and Aria making their way towards the child. He is hidden in an old log, little legs sticking out the back. 

Sarge is wrapping him in a blanket and saying some words to Aria.

Aria, Sarge is shouting up towards you as you are flying around. "This child needs medical attention, I am going to keep an eye on him. But I'll be right behind ye all. Be careful, girl. These Ashbound have already taken one of us."

Aria nods. "Yes, sir." Her face is set in a grim, determined expression as she nocks another arrow to her bow.

LT's given her orders, so Kora will turn and ride for the village, when she breaks into the open she will veer away from other members of Greywind, and take in the scene while not slowing Mustard.

As the party gets closer to the village, you can see that it is in fiery ruin. The village circle has an antiquated well in the center of it, the well itself is on fire. Ten (10) buildings surround the village circle in a semi-circle, most are modest almost hut-like with small gardens surrounding each home. Each home is buried inside trees as if one with the forest. Eight (8) out of ten (10) of these homes are engulfed in flames. With the trees around them starting to catch flame.

Perception Check: DC for this will be high because of the fire and smoke. DC 20 If you make it, you may read the Spoiler. ((OOG No cheating, Books!)) 

Smoke fills the air, billowing clouds of it makes visibility difficult. 

Aria, it is very hard for you to see what is happening on the ground because like heat (and there is a lot of it right now) smoke also rises. Your visibility is at best 25%. 

Greywind on the ground, you're fairing a little bit better. Yours is at 50%. 

"By the Host, by the Flame... By all that is holy..." Lt. Winehand says as she rides forth with the party. Barely discernable over the roar of the fires and the screams coming from across the village. 

 ((OOG The village circle is pretty open, there is a well, ten (10) by ten (10) feet at its center. You see a couple of burnt corpses, some burnt horses and some smaller forms. There is some debris across the circle, carts, and a tree fallen over and burning brightly. ))

Kash will start using ray of frost to put out fires
