Three hours later, and there the ranger was at the farm, met by an anxious couple soon enough.  The farmer was your average farmer (Lisra made sure he kept his eyes in his head and not on her), and the wife a young wife (not yet with child, a bit of a surprise considering the 'manliness' of the father).  The things the man described as missing... they all had something in common: they were all shiny, so perhaps he was dealing with a particularly aggressive crow?<br/><br/>Of course, when she sees the footprints out back, that reinforces it... and she scours her mind to think of what might cause this...<br/><br/>"No... but I might have an idea of what it is." Lisra said with a thoughtful look in her eye, analyzing the tracks "I'm going to find this creature, I assure you, and I'll retrieve everything you've lost - or as much as I can - and bring it back as quickly as possible.  I shall, with any luck, see you shortly, sir."<br/><br/>Then, following the heavy tracks, she began to follow the creature's trail...<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Okay, so Knowledge (Nature) to identify the creature specifically now, and then Survival to Track the creature (I get bonuses as a Ranger ^_^)<br/><br/>K(N): 6 + 6r = 12<br/>Survival: 6 + 1 + 7 = 14... shit, hope that works &gt;.&gt;</div></div>
