Whichever path seems to lead more towards the castle, Mathias sets off down it, keeping his hammer at the ready, knowing now that he is now fully within the territory of evil.

As Mathias moves forward, Devin nods. "So be it, we'll take that path. Everybody, stay in formation." Devin then heads that direction as well, attempting to maneuver everyone into their positions, if necessary.

Following along, one hand on his whip ready to draw at a moments notice, his eyes track from side to side, his head moving left to right to scan the sides of the path as they walk. Staying in formation he continues this as they travel. "You know, what kind of village doesn't have some crazy old dude selling awesome loot? I mean we should definately have a map by now... Oh well...try not to get us lost, eh Mathias?"

Both paths seem to lead towards the castle, and neither seems faster than the other from your current location. However, if you look real carefully (lowlight vision helps), you can see a small wooden bridge on the left path. The right path doesn't seem to have anything noticeably significant.
So, which is it? Left or Right?
On a side note, the path seems simple enough that you could easily backtrack and explore the other route if you so choose. However, you get the feeling that if you venture far into the forest, you would likely get lost quickly.

As you take the left path, you indeed come across a small wooden bridge crossing over a stream. It's nothing special, even if you use things like detect evil or detect magic. It's so plain, you dismiss it completely (unless you're horribly paranoid). After you cross the bridge and walk maybe another 10 or 20 feet down the path do you start hearing a rather familiar sound. The moaning voices of the walking dead searching for fresh blood. You do not see any undead yet, but you're sure you're walking into their territory. And you're absolutely positive that they'll attack if you press on.
[ooc] The party is still in formation unless I'm told otherwise. Also unless told otherwise, I'm going to assume the party continues in a few real life days (let's say thrusday night at latest if I'm being really lazy, I should put due dates on myself about these things lol). If you have actions you would like to take, or preparations, now's the time. [/ooc]

are 13 days enough irl days yet? Don't say you're gonna update your game and don't. I'm pretty sure I speak for all of us in saying that if you're gonna assume we do something after x days with no posts, then by all means do-so, don't say you'll assume it and then make us post it anyway.
We go forward, marching down the path, arms at the ready for combat that we know is encroaching. We didn't march this far and invade a castle just so a few undead can scare us off when we're after a master vampire. Please update.

[As the Board Auditor, I am auditing this game - it WILL move forward]
<GM Post> The group moves forward, and the moans of the dead increase. Ahead, you can see that the path takes a turn around a small lake, with a small grouping of trees on the side of it. A bench sits on one side of the path (toward the water), as though this place was once used as a quiet resting spot. It no longer is, for as the group nears the water, forms stagger forth from its depths, groaning loudly their displeasure at the intruders. As the water clears from them, you see that they appear to be three bloated corpses, quite possibly men who died in this very lake. They shamble closer, and the water they are shedding seems to stay in the air, a palpable aura of wetness approaches you.
The trio is fifty (50) feet away from the head of the party. They are moving forward, obviously hostile, as they reach for you. Everyone roll Initiative and Spot checks. <end of GM Post>
[ADMIN/DM hijack] Waitasec... my own game is getting hijacked? WTF, mate? Oh well, I shall roll with this for now. Thank you dave. I shall not kill you for hijacking my game. Gimme info via PM when you get the chance. [/admin]

Initiative: 15 + 2 = 17 Spot: 6 + 6 = 12
Woo for average... can we also make Knowledge: Religion to uncover what these are? y'know, rather than cheating and looking 'em up?
Knowledge(Religion): 11 + 10: 21

<Player Post> Initiative: 10+3=13 Spot: 18+10=28 K:Religion: 8+4=12 <end Player Post>
<GM Post> Knowledge Religion is indeed appropriate. Kiirnodel, your result isn't high enough to know for sure. They appear to be bloated zombie corpses, but you do not think they are ordinary zombies. <end GM Post>
Max, just let me know when/if you want to take control again!
