Alvar is able to produce the necessary flame very quickly, and before long a small column of smoke begins to make its way towards the sky.

Hours continue to while by as you and your companions marched on. In the sky, the Sun had finished it's ascension and prominence, and now begun to ceed the world to evening. Your path had taken you through patches of forest and clearings allike, with little sign of the dread that fills most tales of he North. Then, in but a brief moment, the nature of all things seemed to change, drastically.

Coming out of a small patch of forest into a clearing, you and your companions were greeted by a meadow locked in an eerie silence. The fall wind continued to rush through the trees, but with no sound to herald its passing. Likewise, the call of birds and prey faded and disappeared as you moved forward, until, like the wind, they fell silent; as though flora and fauna alike were given no voice in this place.

But, perhaps, what most drew your attention was the object that stood in the ground to the right of the path. A thick, round pole, rooted into the ground, it's barken exterior charred and painted with barbaric symbolism. Another, smaller pole, laying across the top, draped with animal firs and other druidic fetishes. Finally, a dire wolf's skull, painted red, with a piece of tarnished parchment punctured through it's canines.

(Go).

(You can hear each other normally).

Satella's not familiar with any of the symbols or writing, though, if she had to make an educated guess... druidic?

EDIT: The statue bear's no trace of magic whatsoever.

Sharos gets the group to tighten ranks as Torgal leads the group into the grove (assuming no objections since no one has posted). Torgal uses his survival skills to try to find any tracks or traces of anything that's been in the area recently, especially anything that could be indicative of werewolves:

Torgal searches the area around the grove, but comes to interesting conclusion. There are tracks, but they seem to be of humans and smaller folk, with no sign of wolves, were, or not.

Wessel also keeps a close watch for anything indicative of an ambush being laid for the group.

"Hmm. Looks like we have two options here folks. Move on and hope we don't upset the Druids who live here, or seek them out as potential allies. My vote is to seek them out. They seem to be decently powerful in this area to ward off the sounds. Maybe they will know what's causing the undead imbalance. If we don't find them within say 6 hours then we can move on and not lose more time."

"Sounds good to me. We could use some allies around here."

While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour,

Wessel silently nods in agreement, remaining alert for possible ambushes.

Sharos sees the parchment in the totem for the first time, asks Wessel to check for traps and then (assuming negative) takes down and reads the parchment.

(Wessel doesn't actually have Trapfinding, but its still worth a shot. Yay, Pathfinder!)

Wessel examines the totem, looking for anything that indicates a trap.

(Oh hey, I have trapfinding. I haven't looked at this sheet in any detail in about eight months.) Alvar gives Wessel a chance to look over the totem before grinning and taking a closer look himself. (Perception 11+11=22)
