No If we are to be heros we need to do it all on our own. We need to find these guys and deal with them in a way that they stop harrassing this farmer. We need to do it without the aid of others.
I still say camp out the next couple days so we can see if we can find a pattern of these thieves raids or if we can perhaps find a way to ambush them and give them some hurting they were not expecting.
Krakyn you fought these guys before, what kind of skills do they have? I was reading up some of the stories to the South and they operate in groups with horses! That means we will be out numbered no matted how good we are.
Beowolf that is true but I had my nose stuck in the door of their house also. Combat as good or better then us mostly due to numbers I am sure.
I really like us to all be in agreement to this as their could be a tad of excitement if we straggle too far.
I think thought at the distance we are looking at we are ok. I almost think we should just camp in the barn till we hear more noise then make a move. As described in the earlier post. I trust Klar in his combat knowledge though.
I will look in and post tonight. I will be very busy next three days*points at patio and the dump truck heading gin* so that is why I hope to post to night.
I am fine with the idea of spending tonight just south of where we did last time. Then if all quiet we can head back and rest at the farm a bit. Try again I a bit. We could spend the day light scouting.

Sounds to me that beowulf is ready to pull out. We need to finish this one way or another. I for one do not want my player killed. We need to find out where they are going and set up a ambush on that trail. They are not staying at home all the time they will get bored. We need to be in the field and scouting a bit in the day to find thier well used trails. They are out there because they have been using them. WE just need to find them. Once we find them we can set up a ambush for the next party of raiders they send out and kill them. We do that and we can face them a little at a time. If we can get their horses we have something to use ourselves or sale. Depends on how many we can get. This is why we need to be out in the camp away from the farm. We will not find these well used trails if we havea our base camp close to or at the farm. But we also do not want to get too far south. We will have to find a happy medium. So I ask each of you. Do we want to get this senerio done with and live to tell about it?
There is another adventure ready to start with kursten so I was looking to wrap up here and move on to that since its the same goal basically and seeing that the last post by the gm says nothing is happening I think its wise to do that.
From this camp the group heads straight across cutting through the forest walking till they get to a distance that is as far as they fell it is safe. At this point the head south for 30 minutes unless they feel it is unsafe.
Then they head back in the direction they came from so as to parallel their last path. They will again turn south once they get past the last camp site and continue this search pattern looking for tracks or some sigh of passage of a small group or a place that has been used as a camp or base.
Come evening two will rest in shallow ditches near the camp fire and two will take to the trees with bows. They will switch every four hours unless they have need of being alert.
I am with you both we need to do something to find them but I think we will just end up drawing some one out after us. Let me know how you like to change this thanks.
Daphne is getting tired and decides to head back home. She was expecting to cut some heads in this adventure but wasn't possible. Waving goodbye to her traveling companions, she takes her horse and returns to her place.
OOC: Sorry guys, having a special needs son, an active toddler and a newborn to see about, I have little or no time for this game (add to that sleepless nights, right now I am literally a vampire!). Keep up the game! Thanks.
