Following his crazy theory to its logical conclusion, Barry squints at the nearby tree-tops, one hand lifted to shade his eyes from the sun.

Rolls

Spot Hidden - 25 - (1d100)

(25) = 25

Barry sees a few broken branches, but not much else.

Magnus frowns deeply, not much liking the prospect of staying in this strange forest any longer than needed, but even more dissatisfied with running the risk of looking the coward. With a sigh of disgust, he pulls a revolver out of his inner coat pocket and stands guard over the investigators.

"Bah! Birds that swoop down and steal a grown man from a forest path... This is bullshit..."

He spits a trail of brown tobacco spittle onto the mud of the path for good measure.

Marv shakes his head. "Maybe it is a joke. I don't know. It's strange, whatever it is. Let's keep moving and see if we can find this dig site." Marv looks at the others, hoping that they will agree with his plan.
OOC:
There doesn't seem to be any leads here, so I say we get back to what we were doing originally and see where that takes us.

"I agree. Let's make haste, the dig site would probably be safer than wandering about." Howard tries to use the map to gauge how much time it might take to walk to the site.

"Yep. Hopefully we'll find some answers there – and if not, whoever's there needs to be warned about the bird," Barry says.

As you travel down the path, you notice there aren't any tracks, no one has been down it in quite some time. Also, you hear no birds, nor any insects.
Mar 22, 2018 3:26 am
Marv is slightly unnerved by the silence. He pushes past foliage blocking the path as he continues to travel down it, looking around for any threats, anything of interest, anything to break the tension.

OOC:
Is it possible to tell how far away we are from the dig site?
Mar 22, 2018 11:41 pm
OOC:
unless anyone wanted to do anything before we arrived.
The path gets muddy and heads downhill a bit. It looks like the rain has washed one side of the path out, but there is still room to pass. After walking for about 20 minutes, the path opens up into a clearing. In the clearing, you see you have come upon the dig site. From the edge of the woods, without revealing yourselves, you can see a collapsed tent, several dirt mounds, a generator, cords run on posts and some pools of water.

Howard cannot quite hide his sneer, "I certainly hope we can manage better accommodations than this for the night."
OOC:
Does the generator look like it might work? Are the cords on the posts connected to it?
Mar 23, 2018 4:12 am
Marv has a bad feeling about the mounds of dirt and carefully steps into the clearing, going to investigate the first mound of dirt.
Mar 23, 2018 5:10 pm
"Damn it, I don't like this," Barry says under his breath, and follows Marv.
Mar 23, 2018 10:54 pm
OOC:
Howard would have to get closer and expose himself into the clearing to make sure.
If he does, it looks wet, but not in bad shape. It has a main cord that runs to a box and other cords run out of the box around the camp.

The mounds of dirt seem to be from the holes that are filled with water. Maybe from the excavation. There are cords disappearing into each water hole that lead back towards the generator.
Mar 24, 2018 1:57 am
Marv looks back at Howard, gesturing to the cords disappearing into the water-filled holes. "Do you think there are pumps down there?"
Mar 27, 2018 12:04 am
Not hesitating for professorly speculation, Big Dutch uses his stick-club to shove down into the water. Swishing it around, he feels for something solid or metallic.
Mar 27, 2018 1:38 am
"Perhaps they are pumps. I'll see if I can get it running" Howard checks to see if it has fuel, and if not he'll search the site for some.

"Please be gentle poking around in those holes, Mr. Peddersen! If these are excavation digs, you might damage delicate artifacts!"
Mar 27, 2018 2:35 pm
Concerned about the 'bird', Barry keeps watch whilst Howard, Magnus and Marv investigate the holes.
Mar 28, 2018 12:02 am
Big Dutch's stick doesn't touch bottom, but does connect with something. Roll for luck.

Howard finds an almost submerged pull rope in the mud and upon checking the tank, it is full and smells like good gas.

Barry sees nothing.

OOC:
A Luck roll! Oh no! I'm excited to see what happens.
