"Ha! Not everyone can be a ranger," Sylvia laughed. "Don't feel too bad about the White Stag starting you off easy, it'll get hard soon enough. Heh... hard," she giggled. "You've got a good question about NPCs by the way, I never really thought about it, but I guess they don't interact with the White Stag, or at least I never heard about it. Too bad that doesn't work the other way, it's more than happy to lead us straight into mobs, kinda like it's doing right now actually. Almost had a party wipe out that way last time," she grumbled.<br/><br/>With darkness falling, Rayne's low-light vision would have allowed her to continue unimpaired by moonlight, but the forest's thick canopy blocked more light than the half-elf's eyes could fully adjust for. "One of us should track while the other keeps watch for orcs," Sylvia whispered as she unshouldered her bow. "Step lightly and weapons out, night is their preferred hunting time."<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Make a Stealth Check.<br/><br/>If Rayne tracks, make a Survival check DC 18 (yup, difficulty rising already!).<br/>If Rayne keeps watch, make a Perception check.<br/><br/>Rayne can dismiss Dixon for the night (calling him back with a whistle in the morning). Otherwise if she keeps Dixon at hand, roll Stealth and Perception for him too (using standard griffon stats). Sylvia follows her lead with Chestnut.
