Borbin, you don't know much about the turtles so it is hard for you to figure out why they all died here. 

Thalza would like to approach the turtle skulls stealthily, keeping an eye on the surrounding woods as she walks. 

If she gets close enough can she ascertain how they might have died?

“Careful I can see habitation down there but I don’t see anyone in particular.” 

Borbin frowns, pondering the mystery of the giant bones, but snaps out of it when Wolfgang gives his warning. Borbin will stay a few steps behind the others, but will investigate the signs of habitation for himself if he gets the chance / gets close enough.

Seeing Borbin take interest in the turtle bones, Kazrac will also ponder for a moment on the subject. Nature: 20

Hearing Wolfgang's warning, Kazrac will address Thalza, "We don't wish to be in your way while scouting. If you find trouble disengage and hurry back. We shall come to your aid when you call."

Kazrac will equip his shield and begin to draw arcane power, giving off a soft dim blueish glow, to the palm of his hand. Ready Magic Missile [Ready action will trigger when Thalza in danger of an attack or to the first creature giving chase.] 

I need stealth from Thalza

Wolfgang, you know horizonback turtles are intelligent and older ones are rarely found away from the swamp. 

(You can't ready an action outside of initiative) 

(Since I can't ready a spell outside of initiative)

Kazrac will keep a lookout. Perception: 9

Stealth: 19

If you need my perception to: 6

Thalza, you see the giant skeletons and are amazed by their majesty. It looks like these creature's may have just died from old age here. 

Kazrac, you also see the signs of habitation but nothing else seems to be moving. 

Borbin rubs his chin while he thinks. "Well, we were right. It seems to be drier here. Shall we set up camp and continue on to the mushroom place in the morning?"

"That seems like a good idea to me. These skeletons could give us some good cover through the night." 

Following the others, Wolfgang follows the group down; looking he will investigate around before or setting up camp.

Investigation: 18

As Wolfgang follows the group, he notices tracks leading out from the shells and circling around the swamp. They look recent. 

(sorry I've been slow got family visiting. Will speed up again in a few days)

“There’s tracks here, look fresh to me. We should keep our guard up.” Wolfgang will keep look out while they set up camp “Should we check out these tracks before resting?” He mentions to the group.

[Other than the tracks there’s nothing else of note?]

"I'd rather make sure they're gone. Probably just some hunter, but better to be safe."

Borbin will help Wolfgang determine any information about who the tracks belonged to, where they went, etc. if possible.

(Roll me survival.) 

As you move deeper into the boneyard, you find a large pile of bones. You also see a few humanoid skulls laying around. 

Borbin puts his nose to the ground and starts to inspect the tracks. He looks around for clues about whoever left them.

Survival 17

Can Thalza determine what kind of humanoid the skulls are from? 

The feet are humanoid in style but scaly. You have heard of lizard people who eat others. This seems to fit those stories. 

Thalza you recognize some goblinoids, human, and drow skulls.
