Ulfgar perception: 11

Ulfgar would try to move stealthily as one could with heavy armor. He just wants to be the first line of defense if they run into trouble. 

Astral smiles "Alright! I'll do that to my best ability. And if I cant stop them, I'll do my best to assist you." Ast nods and heads onward he stays stealthy a few paces behind Ulfgar and Skip 

(OOC: Skip would be up front next to Ulfgar unless other more heavily armored people want to do it lol)

Skip Perception! 16

Brace stays at the back with Keth and watches behind (not in front, trusting that to Ulfgar and Theo): perception 14

Ulfgar and Theo are in the front with Skip and Ast next while Keth and Brace are in the rear. Skip notices tracks from boot prints as well as an abundance of animal life. From within the cavern itself he as well as Brace hears the scuttling of something in the darkness nut yet visible to them the light of the late afternoon dimming as they move closer into the cavern itself.

OOC: Keth and Ast want to give me some rolls?

OOC: Keth is relying on his passive perception of 13. While in the back his only real concern is behind them and at this time he doesn't fear anything sneaking up on them from behind. Both because their movement would be faster than those sneaking.

Perception: 18

Ast notices the tracks look like there's a trail leading deeper into the caves. The party then hears a rustling sound from above as their footsteps and movement in armor echoes all around them. Moving further from the cavern entrance and moving at a slight incline down the party comes to a lake bisecting the passage with two rough looking boats on the shore over turned.

"The lake is...new," Theo says confused looking from his father's map and back to the lake. 

Above the party can see a cave in but the hole there must have been blocked. It looks recent as in a few short years ago.

"At least there are boats," Keth remarks as he gestures over to them. "They look like garbage but should work. Ulfgar, want to help me get them in the water?"

"I think we should inspect the boats.. and make sure that they aren't going to sink half way across.." Skip would say as he moves to the boats and quickly looks them over. "I don't like all of these convenient cave-ins... they definitely seemed designed to split up groups of people... making them easy marks..." He would add as he looks over the watercraft.

investigation! 13 (Rolling again due to help from Brace 23)

Ulfgar stands back as Skip tries to investigate the shape of the boats. "If its something that I know, its rocks. And that?" He points to the cave in. "That's probably where we want to go but those rocks ain't moving themselves." He walks over to Skip "Think they're fit to carry us across?"

“I mean, worst comes to worst we can just swim...” Ast gazes into the water ”We can all swim, yes?”

Brace helps Skip examine the boats.  "Of course I can swim" he says to Ast.   "We will need to dig out the trail after we cross the water.  At least that is what it looks like from here."

"I could try to blast it" Ast pauses for a second "Just as a thought..."

Brace looks at Ast "Is that all you Warlocks can think about?  blast blast blast?  I guess it works if you have that ability."  He tries to smile as if making a joke but it comes across more like a weird eyebrow twitch.

Skip would finish his inspection before piping up. "I have a crowbar that might help us to move some of the larger rocks.. assuming we make it across the water.." He would say as he runs his hands through his shaggy brown hair. 

Skip would then describe his findings to the group. (I rolled a second time and got a 23 because of the help from Brace in inspecting the boat)

OOC: I apologize for the confusion. The hole let in the water and created the lake that then was covered up by another rock slide, engineered or natural. You've got to cross the lake to see if there's anything else in the caves.

Skip inspects the boats but having no real knowledge of boats deems them water tight. He sees no holes or anything else that otherwise comprises the boats. There's no oars however currently visible. 

As the party lingers investigating the boats again a scuttling sound intermingles with the echoes of their voices then a dull hissing sound and clacking!

"No oars presents a problem though I could imagine I could swim and push or pull one," Keth cuts off his remarks at the hiss and clacking. He grips his javelin tightly and looks around the area for threats.

Perception: 18

Brace will search for anything that might help control the boats.  Something like a long pole or piece of wood or a flat object for rowing: search perception 18

Ast will poke a finger into the water, checking the temperature
