Rescue at Rivenroar (Game Thread)

Dalanath quirks an eyebrow at Søffå, obviously amused at his discomfort.

Go ahead and finish up your posts for in town and then roll right into the skill challenge.

Had to update this, forgot to add the bit about perception checks for this challenge.

Everyn keeps his eyes open for the land marks called out on the map as well as signs of the goblins passing through helping the group.

Everyn's Perception Roll (1d20+5=17) to Aid Another whomever may be doing perception.

Endurance Check (1d20=14)

   Søffå, having packed all of his new gear into his backpack (space being a bit tight), returns to the gate to find his party ready to depart.  Without a word, he falls in line as the party ventures out, alongside Dunor, near the head of the group.

   Confused as to where they are headed, Søffå looks at the map once again; in a bit of luck, he recognizes one of the large trees crudely drawn by the goblin as similar to those he grew up around as a boy.  "This variety does not grow in these parts, but further to the north." he mutters, hoping that his knowledge is not too out of date...

   At least the added heft in his pack does not seem to be as much of a burden as he thought - For now, thankfully, he seems to be dealing rather well with the rigors of the journey.

I can't get a 20 on an attack roll, but on an endurance check, no problem...  (sigh)

In addition to giving me an Endurance roll each round, you can also either roll the one perception check for the round(spoting landmarks, tracks and the like), roll a nature check (used to help the group stay on course and avoid nasty natural hazards, Aid Another on any of group's the checks (in case someone is low on the Endurance skill or assisting with looking for the above).

The Endurance check is needed from each due to the rigors of travel.

Which I forgot to roll for Everyn as a sample. My mistake. I will get that modified tonight when I am home from work.

Added in a nature check and revised my dialogue above to fit.

The halfling tries his best to assist in the search, but his skills aren't really suited to the task.

Aid Another for Perception to whoever is doing that, but that's a 4. So no.
Endurance check 13.

[Melblen_Cairn]

Søffå's knowledge of the region helps keep the party on the least hazardous routes. While Everyn lends his keen sight to the search for signs. Thespias has no lock in spotting much. All three seem to be weathering the heat and rigors of travel well enough.

Dalanath keeps a keen eye on the map, keeping track of their progress.

Perception: 22, oh wait that's really a 27 because I forgot the +5 from the map 

Endurance: 5

[Melblen_Cairn]

Several of the landmarks start to make sense to Dalanath and the party appears to cover alot of ground based on what that map is showing, but the heat is beginning to take it's toll on him.

You also had a +2 from Everyn's Aid Another on Perception so 29.

Dunor tries his best to keep the group moving more efficiently, as he had trained to do while at sea for so long. To the extent of his memory, anyway.

(click to show/hide)

Dunor's memory is definitely patchy, because my endurance roll isn't very good.
Anyway, Dunor is going to try and pass on some useful exercises and marching tips to keep the group moving, which I figured as Athletics. If it's not applicable at all, it can just as easily be my roll for Nature, though that was already rolled this round.

Endurance: 1d20(7)+5=12
Athletics: 1d20(14)+6=20

[Melblen_Cairn]

Dunor's advice on how to move more efficiently goes a long way in helping the group conserve energy in the heat and increasing altitude.

+2 to next rounds Endurance Check for the group. Going to say this application is usable once this Challenge. Letting the entire group benefit because it was a very clever use of a skill. Good job Venn.

4 out of 6 the group gains another +1 Success for the round.

(click to show/hide)

Nature checks can be used multiple times in a round by the party. It's Perception with the one check limit per round though it can be aided like any other skill.

[Melblen_Cairn]

The group moves easily through the wilds for the first few hours and encounter very few natural hazards due to the watchfulness of several in the party. Even the heat seems to be mitigated by frequent short breaks and traveling in the shade of trees. The terrain does become more rugged and the paths you are taking seem to rise in elevation as you near the foothills region before the Greypeak Mountains.

Emboldened (and surprised) by his success, Søffå continues to look for clues in the forest to help guide the party.
