Prentiss packs his gear away as the group break camp, enjoying the fresh morning. When he gets a chance he writes a few lines in his small leather-bound book.
Once the group are on the move, he keeps a keen eye out for any movement or danger: Perception 2
He also stays on the lookout for any signs of orc trails leading off the main track: Survival 5
(by end of day you should be within 2 hexes of it)
You finish up a brief lunchtime meal, having some leftovers from the day before and otherwise scavenging for what you need to make up a light meal. Loren is back out in front scouting ahead with Velshir in front of the group with Prentiss and Joshua behind. Sheyla trails along at the edge of the open area nearby and humming softly, enjoying the freshness of being away from underground spaces.
@Loren Perception roll please (How far ahead are you from the group scouting and how are you doing so?)
I'd say he's pretty far ahead, with a halfling's aptitude for quiet travel when alone in the woods. Within earshot, certainly, but walking a ways out in front, enjoying the scenery.
Given the presumption of patrols in the area, he would be trying to travel quiet as well. Stealth: 25
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Prentiss is fascinated by how Loren can just disappear into the forest and then reappear without any sign. He toys idly with the crystal pendant at his neck as he travels, watching the skies as much as the treeline.
You hear a quick shout of surprise, as if something thought to surprise you, then you spot a couple of goblins just behind you looking about in the rocks. You hear sounds of others behind you as well, but don't spot them yet.
@sheyla
Natural sounds about you are ceasing slowly as if something is close. You do not see anything though at this time.
@Joshua
You spot, maybe..., something humanoid sized passing among the rocky area up ahead in the direction of where Loren should be. The sound below occurs farther ahead from where you see this.
@All
You hear a thud ahead as if feet hit the ground a little bit ahead some disturbance of the rocks along the sides of the wider area ahead, but do not see anything.

Loren draws his knives and tries to outmaneuver the goblins to get closer to the party. If successful, he will shift his hold on one of his knives and, taking a deep breath, let fly towards the nearest of the goblins! If he is discovered, he will make his attack and try to run the remaining distance, eschewing cover for greater speed. (Attack: 20 Damage: 8 + 6 sneak attack damage.) After throwing, he will run as fast as his little feet will carry him back towards the party, shouting "Goblins! Goooooblliiiiiiinssss!" all the way.
stealth check to work your way past them. You are presently on the opposite side of the Goblins from the party and are sure there are quite a few of them.
"This feels like the start of every 'last stand' ballad I've heard" murmers Prentiss, as if to himself. Seeing the partial cover off to the side of the wide area, he moves over to seek some protection.

Joshua stops mid step and begins to scan the area ahead for the source of the sound and the smallest spark of fire begins to flicker in his hands as he reaches for the magic he's intimately familiar with.

You hear up ahead a solid thunk into flesh and a scream of pain in a foreign, but familiar tongue. Goblins? Then rushing out of the rocky area, darting among various sources of cover you see a flash of a cape, a hood, then a fast moving Loren appears running in your direction shouting, "Goblins! Goooooblliiiiiiinssss!" all the way.
6 Goblins follow him with the last to appear staggering out of hiding and collapsing with a dagger protruding from his chest dead.
Prentiss nods in agreement "That sounds wise, and thank you for taking such a large share of the watch; I will gladly take a turn on guard also"
The night passes with no disturbances. The next day presents with a light sprinkling of rain, but otherwise mild weather.
Forging onward! Should be getting to the area of the well sometime today, yes? Any signs of those orc patrols just yet?
Joshua is keeping a watch out while traveling, looking for signs of the orcs.

Sheyla holds up her hand and stops. "I don't think we are alone," she says as she points to the sounds ahead.
Velshir will take point, approaching cautiously, trying to be ready for anything

Prentiss stops at Sheyla's warning and looks around for cover. If there is none, he goes into a crouch.
This is a wider area with scrub brush and rocks to either side.
