Okay Arin and group I am gonna toss out some observations.<br/>Yes I looked at each PC sheet to get an idea of what they could do. I think everyone has a stealth...in most cases almost as good or maybe better then Beau. Great that helps!<br/><br/>What Beau does that no one else does is find traps and disarm them. She has a rogue talent called;<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Trap Spotter (Ex)<br/>Benefit: Whenever a rogue with this talent comes within 10 feet of a trap, she can attempt an immediate Perception check to notice the trap. This check should be made in secret by the GM.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>This means she gets a chance, without even trying, to spot a trap within 10' of her. No One else should be within 15-20 ft. of anything they may think is a trap. Since we do not know what happened to the bob cat it can be treated as if trapped.<br/><br/>Beau also has Disable device<em>-Unchained-  This allows if she has 5 ranks and she does have 5 Ranks: Reduce the time required to disarm a trap or open a lock by taking a –5 penalty on your Disable Device check for each step by which you reduce the time required: 2d4 rounds, 1d4 rounds, 1 round, a standard action, a move action, a swift action.</em><br/><br/>I built her to be very good at 2 things [beside backstab and normal roguish stuff] that is Disable devices and Perception.<br/><br/>So let her play to her strength.<br/><br/>When she checks out the dead bobcat and does what is needed if there is a trap. Beau has cooking and will cut out the heart and some decent meat put in a water proof bag she has in the her haversack and yes I got those for this reason [easy to clean out after wards and does not leave a mess. Then she would cut off a leg for Elsibette's mount and suggest that Zara munch on the rest.<br/><br/>Did anyone bring rations for their pet companions/mounts?...Blinkin noted that one reason we shouldn't have a mule is feeding it. I considered getting Beau a couple of guard dogs then realized with what Blinkin was implying that we would have to stop for half a day ...nearly everyday to forage for our pets.<br/><br/>Now it is late afternoon, there is wind and snow. Very soon it will get very dark. Even those of us with Low light vision will be hampered. So do we press on? try and close up before darkness and run the risk of all sorts of bad things happening. I had Isabeau get an Ioun Torch which works like a<del>lantern</del>torch  and she also has an ever burning torch. The problem with light items is that often they can be seen before the ones carrying them can see what is ahead.<br/><br/>So yes we could push on in the dark...Beau would prefer to hold up in this weather.<br/><br/>As for scouting ahead in the snow and in the dark....very hard to use stealth in the snow ...tracks will be left. Also with no stars out - snow comes from the sky and clouds which block stars- it is hard to track ahead. Can be done if that is what you all want.<br/><br/>As for field leader. That should shift depending on what is happening... in combat either Fiona or Telthor...when dealing with traps or locks or sneaking...Isabeau...with magic Muri and with healing and dealing with people I would say Elsi...<br/><br/>We should, by now, have a set up we use in most situtations. Example...in a fight where does Fiona move too? Telthor?<br/>What spell do we prefer Muri casting first most of the time?<br/>Beau would try to hide and move to get her back shot then weave in and out of a fight.<br/><br/>I would love to see us now figure these things out.<br/><br/>MU
