    From ~65' away, in the dim light of the torches and the waning light of day, Zada and Steingott see a scarecrow on its post.

    When the scarecrow comes into view Steingott stops and holds up his right hand to signal for the others to halt. He points up the path and with his body mimics a hanging scarecrow.

    Barely able to observe Steingott's mimicry from the rear of the column, Al's inability to see the actual scarecrow suggests to him that it must be a fair distance away. "I'm not saying we should announce our presence, but whatever's out there, it's likely to spot these torches long before it hears our voices." He still speaks more quietly than normal, though not quite at a whisper. "Is it...moving?"

    Draegra, whose eyes are the best at 65' under current lighting conditions, can tell that the scarecrow is not moving (assume he mentions as much).

    "I don't know if killer scarecrows have a mind for trickery, but I think we need to check." He pulls an arrow with striped fletching from the quiver on his hip. "At the very least, I've got some incendiary arrows, but unless either of you want to take the shot, he looks between Steingott and Draegra, "we'll have to move close enough for me to see it."

    Draegra

    Draegra peers in to the shadows and shrugs, "Well that one is still, not moving, and I'm no crow, so I'm not scared." Waving a hand down the path he suggests "Shall we proceed to the farm and then explore from there?" He looks about very cautiously before looking down the path once more and grinning at the nearest of the guards. "You lads doing okay?"

    Steingott nods to Draegra and cautiously continues forward, hands ready to summon stone and hurl it forward at the first sign of trouble.

    Al presses his lips into a thin line at Draegra's unexpectedly flippant dismissal. "You have some experience with animate farm decoys you'd care to share with the rest of us?"

    Once Steingott is within 30 ft of the scarecrow, he hurls an Earth Blast. In addition, he spends 1 burn to use his pushing infusion to enter Elemental Overflow. (The intent here is to blast him off the stake, maybe get some fall damage. If not that's cool. I want to be in overflow)

    Steingott gathers energy to him, dirt flying in from all around and kicking up on the path before he sends it out to just miss the scarecrow (partial cover from tops of corn stalks).

    Just in case, there is anything that is going to happen ...
