Rock nods and hands over the 1 gold. He takes the little fox, petting it, if it will let him, then releases it. “Rock go do this thing then.” He says, and heads in the direction the man was running from.
If the fox lets him, Rock will give it a pat ont he head, then set it down, letting it go. He will move along to backtrack the trapper’s route through the forest.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
((Finn is probably already in the lead following the tracks, he wouldn't get more than a couple hundred meters in front)) Finn is moving swiftly through the snow following the trappers tracks, bow out and head up. Perception- 6
The fox inches gingerly ahead. You notice that, every so often, he turns his head to sneak a peek at the people who set him free.
Finn quickly finds the tracks left behind by the trapper. After about an hour, deep in the woods, amid the snow-covered pines, the tracks lead you to the remains of the five militia members, who look like they were clubbed to death. New-fallen snow has already begun to settle on their corpses.
“I’ll see what I can figure out,” Shayne says and moves in to inspect the bodies. He’ll kneel by each in turn and act as if he’s trying to figure out what happened and which way the attackers went. In reality he’s trying to subtly loot the bodies...,
Shayne, you don't find much on the bodies - they were in uniform, so they weren't carrying much apart from what they needed for the job. One of the guards, a younger man, had a silver ring around his finger.
Finn and Rock, you figure out that these tracks belong to a large giant. They indicate a path up a nearby hill and through the woods.
If you follow up the path, I'll need a marching order. Rock up front, I assume?
Shayne will pocket the silver ring without a word, then hop up and act like he had been examining the tracks. "I believe they went that way," Shayne will say, pointing in a random direction.
"Well, no, that way," he corrects, seeing they've already figured out the direction and it was entirely different.
Shayne will end up in the middle or back of the order. He's not picky so long as not first.
Finn will fall into line right behind Rock and will keep his bow out and his quiver within easy reach. "Ok Rock, lets go find this giant. Something tells me he may not be in the mood for parley so be wary." Finn gives him a small smile.
Rock would definitely be in the front. He would frown at the size of the tracks though, wondering what giant-kin made them. He would follow the tracks though.
As the group ventures forth, Shayne notices the lantern he's carrying begin to give off a dull green light, which grows brighter as you move forward. Rock spots it first, a creature that maybe comes up to the middle of his shin. Before he has a chance to figure out what stands before him, you feel a tiny, cold, wet explosion right on the tip of your nose. A snowball. The tiny creature that chucked the snowball at Rock giggles before skipping up onto a nearby hill.
Strangely enough, upon witnessing this, the fox that you just saved from the trapper gives chase, sprinting after the tiny creature. As it reaches the top of the hill, the creature greets the fox with a bow, and offers it something that looks like a frozen berry. The fox happily gobbles up the berry, then lowers itself down onto its belly. The creature climbs atop the fox, and the two of them dash up toward Rock and reach out toward him. It seems to be offering you something, though no physical object appears in its hand.

Slight of Hand: 22
Shayne will smile at the display and squint to try to get a better look at what the new creature looks like. He also casually rests his hand upon his rapier... just in case. But mainly he’ll experiment with the lantern a bit, moving it this way and that to see if the green seems more pronounced when illuminating the creature or not.

Finn looks around at everyone and just starts walking in the direction the trapper came from. He glances back once and asks "how far?"

Shayne hesitates to follow and turns to Rock awaiting his decision. "Well, Rock? I think Finn has the right of it...Shall we follow?"
Rock nods and hands over the 1 gold. He takes the little fox, petting it, if it will let him, then releases it. “Rock go do this thing then.” He says, and heads in the direction the man was running from.
"Not far enough," the trapper says, adding "you'll know it when you see it."
He takes the 1 gold from Rock, and lets the fox go. It does not speak, but seems friendly enough.
If the fox lets him, Rock will give it a pat ont he head, then set it down, letting it go. He will move along to backtrack the trapper’s route through the forest.
Following Rock, mentally composing the pop balled of the Goliath Brave who freed the Fox from the Evil Trapper.

"anyone able to look for tracks?" Rock says as he starts to do so himself, trying to see where what did this might have gone... Survival: 5

Shayne, make an investigation check
I have half proficiency? lol...

Finn will assist Rock in trying to find tracks leading away from the bodies, he will keep circling outward looking for tracks. Survival- 21
