Part 2: The Roads ahead

[MonkeyWrench]

Canis(Crow) nods, "Lets wait until morning to see what we find... I'll go see if we can find any witnesses." Canis(Crow) then starts heading back towards the main part of town, headed for the tavern. He keeps an eye out for any locals out on the roads or otherwise visible...

As the others talk, Arastor will take it upon himself to investigate the tracks. He will look at and compare the wolf to human tracks. Check the gait to make sure they were made by the same creature. Then he will follow the human tracks out as far as he can.

What does Arastor find?

[GreyWolfVT]

As the others talk, Arastor will take it upon himself to investigate the tracks. He will look at and compare the wolf to human tracks. Check the gait to make sure they were made by the same creature. Then he will follow the human tracks out as far as he can.

What does Arastor find?

He finds that indeed Rethor's conclusion is apt. It does appear the beast transformed into a human form and continued off into the forest perhaps to it's lair as did some of the other tracks, it does appear it was a pack effort and not a lone wolf.

[Dram]

Krakus- Do we have the ability to set some silver traps for possible visitors?

[GreyWolfVT]

At this point does the party stay where the tracks change or go back to town? Rethor is awaiting the decision. Crow appears to want to go back to town and look for folks to question about the encounters. Krakus wants to perhaps set some silver traps somewhere.

Rethor looks around watching and suspecting something to come after them "Well I've lead you here but I must go back and check on the town and my other guards. There aren't many and I've been gone too long. It should be easy to get back from here if you wish I will wait and you all can follow me back or if you think you can find your way back I'll send someone to watch for your return. If it helps any the attacks so far have only happened on the nights of a full moon." he finishes waits politely for a reply before he starts back to town.

[MonkeyWrench]

Canis(Crow) Will follow Rethor back to town, then begin to question the villagers and look around.

[Nuke66]

So, let us ask the obvious question. When is the next full moon?

[GreyWolfVT]

The following day is the next marked full moon. So you can investigate tonight set traps tonight or tomorrow morning. Still have an entire day to try and track those tracks in the forest and so forth.

[Dram]

Krakus- Will follow Rethor and Canis back into town. We should move back to town.

[ybn1197]

Arastor looks around and then follows Rethor and the others.

[GreyWolfVT]

The group heads back to the town Rethor leaves the party by the town circle. "I've got to head back to the barracks. Feel free to visit the tavern and inn. Might even get more information from the old fisherman that lives in the shack by the lake." and he walks off to find his men and get up to date on what he missed out on while he was gone.

Says,

" Lets examine the abandoned house first before going to the tavern & inn. "

Pheras follows silently

[MonkeyWrench]

Canis(Crow), "Check the house, I'll ask the villagers. Might find a witness or lead..." Canis(Crow) then heads throughout the town looking for people and speaking to them.

[ybn1197]

Arastor goes with Rician.

[Nuke66]

"Given that we will see a full moon tomorrow, we should just button dawn and set any traps we might. Let us not waste any time chasing ghosts." Mathias says.

[Dram]

Krakus- I agree, who has any skill in making traps? We should get them done as soon as possible.

[GreyWolfVT]

So the party decides it is not worth doing too much this night and start formulating a plan to set some traps, perhaps deal with interviewing witnesses in the morning. Crow mingles in the town a little looking for folk to talk to the others start considering checking out one of the two homes. Rethor has rooms at the inn free of charge for the group. The Tavern this night has a sign indicating that there is a Bard tonight that will be singing songs for entertainment.

Sign:
Tonight the bard Hetfield Singing "Of Wolf And Man"

[Dram]

Krakus- Shall we go to the tavern and some ale.

Says to Krakus,

Sigh, " Really we should look at the houses where abductions took place as soon as possible to gather any evidence, lest it be tampered with, wiped clean or destroyed ! "

" Then we can go wind down & mingle, to gather any more information, before getting drunk ! "
