<br/>The rest of the party drops away to the periphery of Alphonse's awareness as he begins methodically moving from the house into the yard and off towards the cane field and then back again and again. At several  points a slight noise of excitement slips from the halfling, and a grim sounding exclamation is produced by something found at another. He stops to resurvey one particular set of marks, his gaze can be seen following unseen creatures backwards through their movements and actions during the attack on the Reiss farm.<br/><br/>When everyone reconvenes to compare notes, Alphonse says, "Big fight. Dozen, maybe more, large creatures---walking upright---come from there and there and there (he points about the fields in different places) and meet at house. Small battles around the place...losers were dragged off into swamp. I think the draggers might be meeting up further back among the reeds and trees." He then makes a gesture towards one of the cane fields that heads towards the general jungle, not the marshland. "Over there I find sign that someone has buried something in the mud. Do we dig it up?"<br/><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">If this is a take-20 sort of roll, Alphonse gets a 30...otherwise:<br/>At 2011-07-12 11:04:09, Remec (uid: 10536) rolls: 1d20a10 Result: 15 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=29377)</div></div>
