[QUOTE="ryryguy, post: 5074641, member: 64945"] Jaronel nods and hurries over to the animals, seemingly glad to have a task to focus on. Kaeysari, Papolstaanas and Chaku creep (or clang) forward and take a look through the gate, while Azryah, Jynxx and Cillani stay alert for anything coming from the jungle or around the outer walls. [sblock=View through the gate]On the other side of the gate lies devastation and murder. What were once undoubtedly neat rows of cultivated [i]zocalti[/i] trees are now a smeared field of black and grey ash. Small fires still burn in a few spots here and there. The owner of the arm looks like he was once a human warrior, judging from the broken spear and bronze shield laying near the body. His head has been caved in from a tremendous blow and his feathered headdress lies askew, drenched in gore. Twenty feet in is another dead warrior, a dwarven female, viciously hacked to bits. Beyond that is another body; details for that one are hard to make out from the gate. About fifty yards in, some trees still stand, but they are on fire, as are what look like braced poles adjacent to them. Sheets of netting strung between the poles that once provided shade to the trees glow red, crumble and fall as the flames spread. Fairly thick clouds of smoke surrounding the burning trees block most vision, but two much thicker plumes of smoke can still be seen rising a bit beyond them and to the left. Dead ahead past the swirling smoke you do catch glimpses of the wall of a building. It does not appear to be burning - the other smoke plumes are a bit past where it is, as well as being further to the left. To the right of the burning trees is a tangled area of undergrowth - it looks like that area was not cultivated, and the jungle has partially regrown there. The tangle extends all the way to the far wall of the palisade. [sblock=Kaeysari]You spot something grey lying on the ground near the first body, partially obscured by the unfortunate soul's shield. The part that is visible has an oblong shape, a bit less than a foot long. It's not moving.[/sblock] [sblock=Perception DC 13 (passive)]There are at least three more partially charred bodies spread out in the burned area off to the sides, closer to the walls than the center of the walled-off grounds. [sblock=Perception DC 18 (active)]One of those bodies does not look burned. Additionally, it looks like some of the trees in that area also did not burn, or at least not completely. It's not immediately obvious because the trees are lying on the ground, covered with ashes and coal-like bits of the pole structures. But some unburned wood and leaves are visible underneath.
