I'll generally have all the players do their own rolls, unless it's something that's supposed to be hidden from them.  I'd prefer if everyone uses the Elliquiy dice roller.  Don't worry about linking the roll in your post, I can look it up if I have to.<br/><br/>I made the description of everything open-ended enough for characters to interact a bit during the trip, as well; don't feel I'm just railroading you into combat right away, or anything.
