OOC

I'd like to discuss some with you players. It is less issue at the table, but a real issue at PbP that we could go into endless loop - every time DM narrate PC gathered a tiny bit of information player could ask for more and more and more

To avoid that I am always applying the rule Give All the Information Up Front
I am going to narrate with my next post that you spend a lot of time checking between the very few items in the camp to discover no additional information. Please don't take it personal. I just want to get story moving

If you don't think you want to make the decision in character here is the poll for decision I would like you all to make

the road (overgrown, but well visible) continues on the other side of the bridge and I will narrate you following the road until you reach next challenge. You have an opportunity to role-play your character impression of this challenge (or provide me your as player feedback to that challenge) before I drop next challenge on you

@Kyvern it does not matter this time as 20+anything is sufficient, but for future
1 You can do guidance on yourself, feel free to always roll that +1d4 out of combat (if there are reason you can't do I will simply extract that from total)
2 Please double check your chracterhseet say you have +2 to investigation but you did 1d20+4 roll

I suggest to read carefully DnD Ability Checks chapter

I know many communities use jargon "Skill Check" such as roll "Nature Skill check", but this is just a jargon or a shorter way of saying make an Intelligence Ability check and Add your Proficiency Bonus to an ability check because the DM determined that a skill proficiency is relevant to the check

In rules "PC Make a Wisdom Check To Notice things in the environment"
And I have determined that Nature skill proficiency would allow you to add your Proficiency Bonus to your roll

P.S. I don't have anything about that jargon, please do keep using it. But please remember that Nature proficiency is typically associated with Int, but I may seldom apply what is specifically described in the rules under "Skills with Different Abilities"
