Sun Mote Copse The Hunting of the Snark

Round 2 - pick a trail and follow it. You can dice-roll, whether your toon succeeds to find the bone trail or not.

The great thing about Blackthorns (with exception of Eljay) was that you did not need to coerce them for an adventure. You spoke the magic word and they all lined up before you, ready to dart off, the moment you pointed out where to. Wraen was happy and proud to have the attention of 99% of this year's fire-chicks and, once it was clear that no one else was joining them, she went on to explain, what were they doing.

"The Snark is a monster of many faces. Each sees them differently. It can be a bit like a dragon," she looked down at Sugar glider. "Or it can be a bit of a monstery-monster or... in a sense it is a..." she paused, not sure of whether she should repeat the swear-word that Pox used so liberally nowadays, "... a villain, because it steals stuff and makes burrows to hide them."

"Take a good look and sniff at this," she pushed the vertebra towards the assembled Snark-hunters, "I saw his hands full of toys like this and more. So full that some of it scattered around. We need to find and follow a trail and, who knows, maybe we will find the treasure spot as well," she explained.

Once everyone had done their kind of inspection - be it by eye, nose, taste or hefty bite - she led the group of children to the hunting grounds and let them loose. All the while keeping an eye on them, so that no one strayed away too far or get in any other trouble.
