Votin stands near the lashed pews weapon at the ready...

"Stand fast and state ye business...if you can understand me."
 

The three adventurers creep out of the kitchen toward the pews tied to the broken front doors.
They past the small fire, now nearly extinguished again.
The snow falls yet thicker through the burned out ceiling and the wind howls outside the church.

Narrhil takes up a stance on the left? side of the double doors, his Icicle still lighting their way.

Votin steps up in the blocked doorway - his voice rings out in the frigid air.

There is no response from the darkness outside.

Narrhil attempts to provide light for Votin, so he can see out any holes in the double doors, to location tracks in the snow... He also tries to listen for any movement or sound of the thing's breath...

Narrhil Morrtos rolls d6 = 1

[Impossible for Votin to see further than a foot outside the broken doors, especially since the pews are blocking the opening. Unless maybe Narrhil holds his Icicle hand out through the broken doors.]

But with the glow of Narrhil's magic, Votin sees sets of wolf prints and human boot prints right at the entrance.

Narrhil hears nothing but the wisping of the wind.

[Okay, let me try to get this right so Caveman doesn't come back at me... LOL!]

Votin is standing in the middle of the open broken double doors.
These doors are broken on their hinges at about a 45 degree each facing inside the building.
To them are now lashed 2 wooden pews at stacked/awkward angles.
These pews are 3 ft deep.
These doors are around 4ft wide each so I'm guessing that's like 2-3 ft more feet stuck inside the building.

So Votin is looking through these pews to like 5-6 feet.

Light - The little bit of firelight remaining is behind you 20-25 ft. on the ground, these are 3 more sets of pews and 2 large wolf carcasses and Votin (and I'm assuming Tillak) blocking most all of that.
Now Narrhil has his Icicle going still, but the problem there is he said that he was hugging the front wall as cover - and because those broken double doors are facing IN , he is behind it, so nearly all of his Icicle light is blocked by the door.

To answer the question: In the shadowy flickers Votin sees a jumble of paw prints. The boots look like they enter, but not 100% on this without further/closer inspection.

I hope that makes the scene very clear.
 

In a low tone..."Brothers...be prepared I know not what we face."

Louder..."Who are you?...State your business!"
 

[OOC: one stand guard at the door while the other two move supplies downstairs? should we make the fire brighter?]

[I think you mean "warmer" as Votin has no winter furs. Everything seemed so temperate just days ago before you ever found your way up to this burned church.]

[Not to mention that one thing after another has kept a much needed rest at bay for quite some time.]

[OOC:

Does any of this apply to the current situation? Actually reading the rules...

Wilderness Survival: Hunting, trapping, fishing,
boating, shelter building, fire building (including
tribal smoke signals), logging, woodworking, raft
building, and so on. These tasks are performed
without need of a check; they are simply the
barbarian’s province. Under adverse conditions, the
referee may assign a reasonable probability of success.
Whether a chance of failure applies is at the discretion
of the referee, as reflected by the prevailing conditions
and abilities of the barbarian.]

[It all could... around here somewhere... I mean you did have some luck starting a fire with sopping wet papers.]

[OOC: what is Votin's background ?  Primary harddrive crashed , I haven't got to the backup one yet]
