Rihyan looks out at the collection of creatures before him. Having heard a load trilling noise a while back, he flew in the direction he heard the trilling come. He was unable to find anything, except a large area of trampled snow, with tracks leading away into a skeletal forest, he had followed the tracks into the forest thinking he might be able to help.<br/><br/>[survival check, automatic success (+11 skill, outside Natural enviroment, so knowledge nature synergy applies) v DC 7 (snow base DC+5, -2 (following 7 creatures, 6 of party on foot (assuming Fiona and Geno being carried), and the worm), -2 (worm a huge creature) +6 (following tracks at night, under forest cover) = DC 7 therefore impossible to fail)]<br/><br/>Rihyan had found a hole several miles back. Studying the ichor around the hole, he concluded that the creature that made it had been badly damaged when it had burrowed away, seeing that the tracks continued on, obviously what this creature had been chasing, he decided to follow them further, thinking that a party that could drive off a creature of a size to make the tracks he had been following and the hole before him might be worth joining up with.<br/><br/>[survival check, automatic success (+11 skill, outside Natural enviroment, so knowledge nature synergy applies) v DC 8 (snow base DC+5, -2 (following 6 creatures, 6 of party on foot), -1 (Chrrou a large creature (at least I think he's large in Polar Bear form)) +6 (following tracks at night, under forest cover) = DC 8 therefore impossible to fail)]<br/><br/>This tracking had left Rihyan where he was now, studying the varied collection of creatures before him. Many of them appear badly injured from the fight with the monster he assumes caused the hole a few miles back. They appear a strange collection of creatures to be working together, a Half-Dragon, a Large Rabbitfolk, a young Human female, a Human male, a Goblin, what appears to be a large polar bear, a dire wolf, and a kalashtar. All of them except the polar bear and the goblin seem well fed, in fact the human female seems extremely well fed, her stomach far larger than the rest of her body.<br/><br/>Rihyan decides before introducing himself, to see if he can find any more out about the party.<br/><br/>[Rihyan casts<a class="postlink" href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/detectEvil.htm">Detect Evil</a>, Half Celestial Spell Like Ability, 1/day usage, aimed to cover as much of the party as possible]<br/><br/>Rihyan senses evil within the party and tries to establish where it is coming from..<br/><br/>He tries to keep out of sight while gathering the information<br/><br/>[move silently check 1d20(4)+19 = 23]<br/>[Hide check 1d20(19)+5 = 24]<br/>[concentration check (if needed) 1d20(20)+5 = 25]<br/><br/>{{will need to study for 1 more round to establish the strongest aura, and how many there are, and 2 more rounds to establish who has what aura.
