That is fantastic.

No birthmarks, though...

Loved that post, Bree! The taunting was perfect!

Got a bit to do here at home but I'm hoping to get posts for where they're due started, if not finished, later this evening... I may need a coffee or three.

Haha glad you liked it! I had another bit about bringing dead animals into the house but I thought it would be too much.

Okay, so now what?

I have posts from everybody except Blackthorn.  But I'm not sure how the party wants to proceed. 

Talk to the woodsman or his family?  Take his offers of payment?  Keep moving along the road to the west?  Do other exploration?  Retire to somewhere sunny?

I think it would do us some good to talk to the woodsman and/or his family for a moment or two, at least... See if they can give us an idea of which direction the "home invaders" came from, anything odd that may have preceeded the arrival of the zombies, etc. Based on their answers, if any, we can then decide whether we proceed west or if we instead divert our course based on "new evidence."

Hoping to get something of a post tacked up at some point today but, currently, am mired down by an annual onslaught of "required training" that I need to get finished.

Aranwen was over by the family so I was just waiting for him to chat with them and get some info. I imagined we'd probably do something with the bodies (?) but for the most part try to get as much info from the family and either head back out, or stay the night since I believe it was starting to get dark when the woodsman approached us.

1. I think that we should have Kith (can she track?) or someone else with a tracking ability (hopefully we have someone) see if we can't find the direction from which the zombies and giggler attacked. If we don't have anyone who can do that, oh well.
2. We should ask the woodsman about as much detail concerning the attack as he can provide.
3. Perhaps Cedric can bring the Light of Solanis to the wife through conversation, discussion, the religious comfort offered and see if she's going to suddenly give birth to a singing, dancing xenomorph (Hello my darling, hello my baby...) Not to be callous.
4. Maybe some of the party who are less engaged in the conversation or seeking tracks could help with the shoring up of the cabin.
5. Gib isn't keen on taking anything from the woodsman and his family, though he will suggest that at their next opportunity they make an offering to Therassor and that if at all possible, they get the mother to a legitimate temple for assistance.
6. If tracks are found, or direction is given, Gib will be all for tactically following the lead.

**checks party roster for a ranger**

Nope.

**checkes party roster for tracking proficiency**

Nada.

Heh... "not to be callous"... after making an INSANELY callous comment. 

I would like a post for Aranwen, too...

Hi guys. Sorry for the inactivity. I have been traveling a lot. Drove about 1600 miles over the past weekend or so. Went from Florida to Georgia, then to North Carolina for a wedding, then back to Florida yesterday.

I do want Aranwen to discreetly question the woodsman regarding the attack and any events leading up to it. And Aranwen will graciously refuse any material offering of the woodsman.

We will want to dispose of the bodies, after seaching for any clues on them as to their origin, as well as helping put the cabin in order.

That's obviously just a little silver screen moment to keep things interesting.  It's been a long time since I've added one.

I think I have a sword somewhere with that blond chica's name on it. Yup. There it is. Has Therassor's symbol on the crossguard.

Per the "DM's note", Kith would want to know if the woodsman could say anymore about the man dressed all in black--facial features, hair, noticeable marks or scars or anything like that, symbols or markings on his clothes, could he see his hands and if so was there anything of note on them, weapons he may have had on him.

Sorry folks... between work opening the floodgates on me and feeling like general trash for the past couple of days, I haven't gotten anything done, here. I'm finally feeling better, today, though, and work is being suspiciously quiet, so I'm hoping I'll get to play catch up with the Inn, now.

Good to see you around again Eol! 

Reposting because I haven't seen an answer and am impatient
