The Barracks

The Sargent grunts and then directs Terrick to lead them to where he found the finger. As the group travels, the sun sets, and a chill wind begins blowing toward them. Ahead the merchant wagon comes into view. The smell of something mangy and soiled sails on the breeze.

A howl slices the night like a razor.

WILL SAVE

Unless anyone has any objections, the trio descend the hill . They reach the cross roads between the Laughing Dragon Inn and the farmers guildhouse.

I have no objections.

If the others go along, Junia guides them to the place where she encountered the giant vermin.
Alert for danger.
She will attempt to use some food to lure the creatures into a trap/ambush.
Leaves a line of withdrawal open for the party.

Second roll on VERMIN trapper skill if needed:

[dice]0[/dice] +7

init if needed:
[dice]0[/dice]
+2 from DEX

sneak attack to hit if it is possible, slingstone --she will try to keep back a little and shoot early, avoiding melee unless she can flank.

[dice]1[/dice]

+2 from DEX

I will add those rolls to a queue for when rolls are next required. Since everyone seems okay to go, does the party want to go to the inn or the farmhouse?

The Laughing Dragon Inn

Amara is drinking her second tankard when she feels a slight tug at her belt. Then she feels a full on palm on her rear.

"Thats a pretty big sword ya got there lass," says the owner of the offending palm, a red faced drunkard with a thick black mustache. "I've got steel I can show ye..."

The barkeep frowns in disgust.

Terrick, at the Merchants Wagon

As the howl cuts the night, a few of the guards appear shaken, but the commander, Uwen, appears to have nerves of steel.
"Men, begin searching," he commands. The other guards fan out, separating and wandering off through the surrounding trees and underbrush. One guard in particular, called 'Cat' kneels to the ground, examining the scat Terrick pointed out. He screws his face into a knot after smelling the sulfurous dung, and then pulls out two clear vials of liquid. He pours one onto the droppings and waits.

Junia, Herman, and Lyrana at the Farmers guildhouse

As the trio approaches, the sun shows maybe an hour left of light. The farmer who Junia interacted with before sits on the front porch in a mahogany rocking chair, the pig sleeping soundly across his lap. Seeing the group approach he leaps up, dumping his squealing, porcine pet to the ground.

"I was worried we'd have to close...er...wait till morning to get those vermin wiped out." He scans over Junia's new partners.

"I ain't paying any extra 'sides what I promised if you clear em out before dark." He looks past them at the setting sun. "Better get a move on."

Junia leads the group in and points out the spots the centipedes burrowed up from.

The 'pedes are no where in sight at the moment...

FARMHOUSE

Herman bangs his shovel against the ground next to the holes. "Come and get it!" he shouts to the missing vermin.

Terrick

Terrick braces himself against the howl. He is still scared but at least he hasn't fled this time. Showing Cat pouring a liquid on the droppings he goes closer and asks:

"Sir, I'm a scout myself, can I be of any use? And what did this liquid it will help us locate the giant?"

Terrick-

Cat stands, holding the empty vial before him.

"Just some oil that can tell me if the droppings come from a normal animal or something else."

Looking at the poo-pile, its surface froths with white bubbles.

"Definitely from something else." Cat says smirking.

A shout comes from beyond the tree line where some guards fanned out to search.

"Sargent Uwen! You must see this."

The guards rush over.

Farmhouse

As Herman bangs his shovel against the ground, 2 fat centipedes burst from the earthen basement floor. They are as big as hounds, their flailing antennae nearly doubling their length. They clack their mandibles together and prepare to attack.
