Chen kicks the Wyvern's neck joint upwards, and intercepted it before it reached it's peak, his legs igniting as they hit the joint and broke it in half.

Lets go kill some kobolds. Cuddlez hops aboard his horse and starts a slow trot in the direction he should be going.

The wvyern dead, the group of adventurers heads out in the direction indicated by the ghost. About an hour after the sun's first rays begin peeking out from behind the earth, they come across a cave. The entrance stands 35 feet high and is wide enough across for ten men to walk. Within, there is darkness.

Cuddlez hops off of his horse, pulls a torch from his saddlebag, and lights it. He nods forward, Lets go get us some kobolds.

Chen likewise got his torch out, though this one needed no lighting, and marched into the cave.

The curmudgeonly old man stumbles to the wall and begins panting heavily. "*...gah...hoo...ahh...*Don't mind me, just keep going! Yeah! That's right. Jerks." He pants for a few seconds, and then slowly makes his way into the cave, sticking close to someone with a torch. He looks toward chen, and confidently (considering the circumstances) tries to make conversation. "I don't...think *(gah)*... we've been introduced. My name is...Eldrin Worstford. *Hoo. Hah.*" . As he walks, his weapon, a long chain with a broad piercing tip and spikes along the length, peeks out from under his cloak and taps the ground ever so lightly. He wraps it around his hand one more time, and it is silent.

Spot, then search (1d20-2=2, 1d20+5=20)

EDIT: My minor aura from marshall is always up, by the way.

The group of adventurers tromps into the cave, some attempting stealth, while others seem to forgo it. Everyone enters and glances around, missing the small, quivering mass of scales hidden in a dim corner. As they begin searching carefully for treasure, Cuddlez notices a blur of movement from the corner of his eye. He turns, and the whole party sees a Kobold scampering from the cave. By the time the party leaves to look for him, he's out of sight. Maybe one of these adventurers could track him, if he has the proper training...

I can do it, but if there is someone who can help me, or maybe do it better. Cuddlez grumbles off and starts following the tracks that the kobold left behind.

Eldrin slinks over to Cuddlez and attempts to help him out.

Survival, right? (1d20-2=13)

[spoiler]Ya survival, but you need the track feat to follow any tracks with a DC of higher than ten. I still think you can aid me though.[/spoiler]

  "Fuck following the rat, lets just wander around and kill monsters," considers for a second, "so long as we have a trapspringer." Robin looks around waiting for someone to volunteer.

 
"No, no, don't think, Maya." Ritsuko chided. "We will not gattai the Evas or their pilots.

The ranger and his helper are able to follow the tracks of the kobold, and they soon lead him toward the kobold's camp. As the party nears the camp they hear the sound of dancing and chanting kobolds. Cuddlez and Thocael are able to see a sentry up in a tree, although he seems more intent on gazing wistfully at the party he's missing than the party approaching.
[spoiler]It's actually Search w/o Track, but Cuddlez made it anyway...[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I have trapfinding as well as a fair search check. I think we're fine. My true power against small things is tripping their asses up, though.

EDIT: Oh crap, I forgot ranks of Search. how did I do that? I have 11 skills/level... Oh do our CHP count as enhancement bonuses, or would purchasing a bonus grant me extra skill points? If I can get more skills, I'll have enough to have search ranks, otherwise I'm stuck with a +5 to search. [/spoiler]
