Road to Phandalin

Otrov

Once the site has been selected Otrov spends some time walking a perimeter, looking for tracks and small animals or plants that might be used as ingredients in poisons or food.

You do find some shelter at the hollowed out banks of a small creek. The river bed is created by the melting snow in spring, but now the dry weather has reduces the stream to a little creek, wich leaves plenty space for your camp. 
Otrov, since you are careful with lights, not to give away your presence, you have trouble to find anything of interest and after an hour you return to the others. You found some nice looking smooth rocks, but that’s it.

It is a nearly moonless night, only a slim sickle is visible in the sky. The gentle splashing of the nearby creek and the crickets singing make for a nice ambient. A little after midnight, during Kalas watch, she hears the faint howl of several wolf far north of you. Beside that the night is uneventfully.

Margret checks the map to see how far they are again. "Maybe I should make Marco into an Eagle" she states 

“Marco? That’s yer, like pet....? And yer saying you can turn it into another bird? My oh my, will wonders of magic ever cease to amaze.” Biggs admits come the next morning debrief and sounding genuinely Impressed. “Though that said, I dunno much about birds aside from which ones are generally tastier than others. So, I’ll leave that to you.”

She shakes her head "Bats are mammals Mr Biggz lets just say your were just comparing a cow to a peacock. I'm just thinking an eagle would be better for scouting." She shrugs "He can see invisible things with his blind sense so I guess no" She sends Marco off to scout as they leave  "I think we'll be getting there soon keep your guard up."

(Mark of a ration for your long rest please.) 20

In the morning you pack your equipment and return to the road. Not long after, you spot an old dirt track crossing from north, where Conyberry is, to south of the road. Assuming that this is the path leading to the shrine, you turn south and follow it. After about two hours, you see a building far south of you.

A ruin stands in the middle of a vast field north of the rocky foothills of the Sword Mountains. An old stone temple with a belfry jutting from its peaked roof is enclosed by stone walls, many sections of which have collapsed. The trail ends at a crumbling gatehouse, the doors to which were sundered long ago. Three of the four towers that once stood at the corners of the outer walls have collapsed. Only the northeast tower remains, you spot a single figure moving atop it.

Everyone roll me a stealth check please (group check, no advantage)

Stealth: 22 Margret ducks down 

Otrov Stealth - 10

Dain stealth: 21

Kala Stealth: 6

Mr.Biggz Stealth: 16.

As you notice the building and movement on top of the Tower, you all duck of the road behind a bush, only Kala stands there looking at you in wonder what the heck is going on.

"What the heck are you all doing?" Kala asks as she sees everyone suddenly duck off the side of the path into the underbrush like there are practicing some kind of crazy dragon drill.  She just stands there looking around like a pretty little lost redhead.  I'm starting to think this group is a bit crazy.

 Whispering

"Orcs! Get behind cover my sister,  Or maybe you should run further back and try hiding again."

Margret thinks that they could lure these creatures out now the surprise is gone. And a lone woman could do it

Dain holds, sending Sabastian up into the air to see what reaction their slow companion might have caused if spotted. He has Sabastian fly up high, hopefully out of bow range and watch the structure ahead for movement.

"Oh Sh*t, Orcs?!"  Kala looks around in a bit of a panic to see if she sees these orcs.  If she spots them, she will head in the other direction and try to find a place to hide.

Otrov

Whispering, “You know, this reminds of my uncle Trapspringer catching big catfish with his toe. He’d wiggle it for so long until it came right up to the bank and then he’d take a net and catch it! Oh! It was so ama-“ she stops suddenly at a few sets of eyes looking at her as if she just ate a kitten...which reminded her of the time when....

Otrov tries to stealthily move off a little ways so she can see Kala and the path, and gets her The Prick ready....

Roll me a perception check if you want to check on the guard, and Kala can try to hide again if you want to.

Kala... playing hide n seek: 22 

She is obviously not good at this hiding game... LOL
