During last night I was visited by my ancestors.  They have recognized me and my growth as a noble barbarian warrior and are going to aid me in our quest.   (Path of the ancestral guardian)

(Sorry for the delay.  Had the time finally to read through the next chapter again)

You remain in the keep for a few days, resting from the events of the 2 long nights and planning out what to do next.  On the morning of the fourth day, Leosin approaches the group.

“After all you’ve done already for me personally and for the people of Greenest, I hate to ask anything more from you. But the need is great, and I dare to hope that you can aid me one time more. I need you to return to the cultists’ camp. You know your way around it now. If the cultists are preparing to conduct another raid, or a large body of them marches away, or if anything substantial is carried into or out of that cave, I need to know. If you have a chance to get into the camp and look around again, that would be the ideal way to spot anything that’s changed.

“I don’t recommend letting yourselves get captured,” he adds with a wry smile.

 Did you mean the governor or is Leosin a more important person than I realized?

Quote from VanderLegion>>

He has been investigating these raiders for months

...

No one understands these bandits better than he does, and his knowledge will be invaluable against them. 

Pops will be spending all his time searching and gathering information on Dragons and the local lore. When he hears of an opportunity to back to the camp he jumps at the opportunity. 

He throws a knowing wink back to Leosin and says, "Consider me your first Volunteer!"

(Everyone else volunteering as ewll?)

I will help.  We will have to maintain quite a distance away during the day however Pop’s familiar May be able to help keep watch during the day for us.  

"Tracking Dragons sounds fun, I'm in"

(Maythus?)

(I'm just going to assume he's happy to go along and I'll get a post written up)

(Cool... is he alive?) 

With everyone in agreement, you gather your gear and head off towards the raiders camp once again.  The searches for the missing monk have long since ended, and you don't see so much as a scouting party as you near the location of the camp.  Approaching from the plateaus this time instead of the front entrance through the ravine, you make your way back to the cliff where you (except pops) climbed up to escape the camp in the first place, arriving in the afternoon.  You don't see any guards on the plateau around the camp either, and are able to move up all the way to the edge to look down into the camp itself.

Gazing at the camp, you can see that it is mostly abandoned.  The huts the kobolds were using on the first level have all been burned.  Those on the second level and the guard towers still remain, though damage from Dawn's fire arrows is visible where he was able to strike his targets.  While most of the camp has been abandoned, there are still some people remaining.  As you watch the camp, you see a group of hunters return, bringing back meat from some large game for food.  They are the only ones still using any of the huts on the second level.  The cave shows signs of recent activity as well, but there are no raiders in sight in that direction right now.

Let’s observe camp for a while and see if we can estimate how many people are still around

Pops thinks that's a good idea. Dolomite Jones will fly overhead and Search for hostiles Perception 22

(What is the weather like? Sunny, cloudy, or stormy?)

(1 Cloudy it is)

4 In the time you've been observing the camp, you've seen 2 hunters return with food and 2 more that were already in the camp.  Dolomite scouts around the area and doesn't spot anyone else.  You don't know who or what might be in the cave itself.

As Dolomite doesn't see anyone,  Dawn will scout around looking for fresh tracks (besides the party we just saw entering) to see if I can determine numbers of kobolds and humans, and to see if anything else is around. If it was stormy, I was going to try using stealth with advantage, but as it's not just regular rolls. 

Stealth 8

Survival 24

Perception in case I see something Dolomite missed. 9

Searching around the camp, Dawn can see that small groups left the camp in every direction when they abandoned the camp.  He can also see that most of the wagons and pack animals left in a train heading to the west.  Those tracks all appear to be several days old, from just after you escaped from the camp.  The only fresh tracks he can find are single ones or pairs that look to be from the hunters as they come and go.

I go back to the others and report what I have found. 

Pops suggests we sneak pass the hunters and check out the cave.
