Tillak advances into the chamber, hoping again that the cryomancer will follow him.

Tillak returns to the domed chamber to talk sense into the magician.

The two wolf-mutes slaver along at the the Shaman's heels. The group moves through the church and squeeze through the tied broken entrance doors and out into the open. Now the full sight of Selene falls upon all, its bathing beauty hidden by this blanket of storm for longer than any can recall during this endless night.

The wolf-mutes take to their haunches and howl. The discordant song tearing at the Shaman's eardrums.
But he, too, feels a lightening as some sense, beyond this sorcerous guiding light. that fortune may be turning her hand in his favor.

Turok wonders if the mutes-now-wolves can pickup the scent of the scouts... they move in the direction of the wagon [where ever it may be] as they get closer he will encourage them to try and find the scout's scent.

Not wanting to lose control of the pair, Tuork wonders if they need to hunt to fulfill some sort of need?

[TUROK +500 XP]

The wolf-mutes follow multi-sets of footprints through the fallen snow blanket out toward the wagon between several small buildings ahead.
Selene already begins to dip to the treeline at northeast forest and its light across the land dims.
A large area of dense birch is fenced off to the south.
Beyond the wagon, in some distance, the land looks to dip into a sheer rock face.

[Turok and the mutes followed the scouts in from the east mountains, and came into the church's cemetery.]

Turok observes the tracks in the snow between the wagon and several buildings, he motions to the mutes and cautiously approaches the closest one with warclub in hand.

Turok and the wolf-mutes trail stop a set of crossing prints.

**Posted by Iron Ranger** Yesterday 9:53 am

Sawed logs lay snow covered beyond the broken wagon.

The light of Selene dims faster, leaving only the dim of the globe of magical light soon...

**Posted by bald_headed_yeti** Yesterday 4:00 pm

Turok follows the tracks to the middle building, listening intently at first to make out any sounds or conversations...Turok motions the pair to approach in silence...[ if possible ]

**Posted by Iron Ranger** Yesterday 5:40 pm

Turok leads the mute-wolves northwest along the prints.

**Posted by bald_headed_yeti** Yesterday 9:35 pm

As Turok and crew approach the wagon they stop and search it for possible clues, then they'll check out any closer buildings .. if they leave the magical light, a torch will be lit.

Turok notes the size of the print and tries to get the pair to pick up the scent.

The pair resist taking the new scent but eventually are coaxed into snorting the prints with some rations.
They eagerly move off in the direct of the prints toward the small building tucked against a stand of pine.
The grand moon dips much lower behind the treeline now.
