It looks like he splashed and shook himself off quite a bit when he reached this point, but to Vad it looks like there's more water leading to the southwest tunnel.

Felor assists with looking for tracks.
I don't remember if I recast Light on my spear, but I do that now if I didn't already.

Mordred coughs a small portion of river out of his lungs and shoves the rest of the party towards the tunnel they seem to be examining for tracks.

Zangua takes one last look around, casting another set of eyes around the area for any clues.

Zangua spots a white strand of badger fur on one of the rocks in the mouth of the southwest tunnel. It's got to be that one.
The southwest tunnel winds for about a quarter of a mile over rocky, uneven ground. You all can hear a dull roar of white noise ahead of you: it must be the underground river, the "Hidden Ophid."
The tunnel finally ends at a small opening high up near the ceiling of the great cavern the river runs through. From the opening you drop out, one by one, onto the north bank of the river.
As to where Everil might have gone from here -- upstream, downstream, across the river to the other bank -- it's not clear.

The river runs southwest, right?
"The kobold said to go south of the Hidden Ophid and follow the red marks. Perhaps we should cross over and look for anything red."

"We should probably split up; leave some on this side of the river and some cross over, so we can search both sides at once. The 'red marks' are probably our best guides now... Oh, and also look out for whatever the 'broken boulder' might be?"

We will still be within sight and shouting distance of each other if we are just on opposite banks, right?
Mordred agrees with Leth. "I know I'm not the best tracker in the group, but we should all look. Spread out a bit, and we can head downstream if we don't find anything right away." He crosses over to the south bank and starts to look.

Let's do it this way: everybody pick a bank (north, south) and a direction (upstream, downstream) and give me an Investigation roll.

South bank, slightly upstream of our current location.

Fifty yards downstream, Leth sees it: a slab of stone lying on the ground, next to a tunnel mouth leading south.
Apr 7, 2016 9:59 pm
"I think I got something!" Leth calls back to the others, and goes to investigate the tunnel mouth for any positive indications that this is the correct way to go: Red marks, claw marks, badger fur or fresh blood... anything that might tell him Everil passed this way recently.

Leth takes a look around. No obvious clues jump out at him until he flips the slab over and sees the small streak of red paint on it.

"Red paint, this is it for sure!" He yells, and then begins to book it down the tunnel.
also I'm now very afraid the tunnels will be trapped, but we don't really have time to go slow and look for them...

Just realized I'm probably too far from Felor now to use his spear-light, if that's the case Leth would have lit his own torch while searching.also I'm now very afraid the tunnels will be trapped, but we don't really have time to go slow and look for them...
