Giving Ront a little push "I hit it in pretty hard in the face if I remember correctly."

Stepping towards the path Saxis will strap on his pack firmly

18 stealth

(Only if you want to perceive things and be stealthy)

You follow the path winding through the woods, hearing nothing except your own footfalls and an occasional distant howl. Eventually, you come to a narrow, rutted dirt road. A single weather worn wooden sign points to your left, with BAROVIA carved neatly into it.

 Nebin trails behind with Elias, keeping quiet and looking for anything that might try and sneak up behind them. ( Perception, 27 Stealth, 21)

When they reach the road he whispers, "Barovia... That's where the man who sent the letter is from, isn't it?" Nebin searches the road for tracks that would suggest recent passage, either from the messenger they met last night or anyone trying to ambush them. (Survival, 28)

Barovia is where we were heading, yes. I guess the magic fog or whatever is why it wasn't on your map, Elias.

Elias whispers back to Nebin as he grasps the handle of his longsword: "Aye, Barovia was the place."

Nebin, you can see wagon and horse tracks, the most recent probably several days old.

What's the vegetation around here like?

Guenhyvar will keep his bow in hand and ready while he continues forward.

Lining the road are dark trees, with twisting trunks overhanging the road. The foliage underneath is mostly dark grass with few shrubs and weeds growing.

"Wagons and horses have been on this road, but none for several days, you see?" Nebind whispers, pointing out the tracks. "I see no sign of anyone around now. Best we go meet this Indirovich fellow, but keep your eyes open." Nebin begins following the road toward Barovia, eyes peeled for danger.

Sounds fine R says as they head towards Barovia By the by, as we're checking, searching, whatever - anything you are about to try - come and get a touch of Guidance. A little divination makes everything easier

Looking from tree to tree Saxis will look visibly uncomfortable "This place is tainted, my people have a union with nature... Something is very wrong."

"Aye, I think you are right. Something is not right here. Hopefully we find a town or village soon." Elias says

Guenhyvar glances back over his shoulder at this comment, "It seems strangely like home to me. Though that may not be a good thing."

It is something a little off Saxis R agrees I mean, magic comes from nature, and that feels no different he says as he  Shillelaghs up and twirls his axe-handle staff but the, dunno, flavor or something is off? 

Elias says with a grin and a quick glance at Saxis: "Aye there is much magic in Nature but there are other sources as well - Arcane, and perhaps the most special (in my opinion) Divine.

I never said 'only' Tovy says with a chuckle Same with the kicking ass thing Saxis

Hearing Elias say Divine Saxis will roll his eyes a little "well where to?"

Looking towards Tovy with a smirk "Yeah yeah I get it."

As you discuss your situation, the sound of wagon wheels and a horse clopping reach your ears, coming from the direction the sign is pointing.

Nebin signals to the others and slips into the underbrush on the side of the road, hiding.
