The rest of your trip is uneventful until you find yourself only 4 miles down the Dawn Way from Drellin's Ferry. Here you find the remnants of some fighting, and it wasn't your own conflict (nor Pender's group, as they passed here even earlier). A pair of dogs, Jorr's doggs, appear to have been sliced up by some kind of knife.
Avril finds a few arrows lodged into nearby brush, with the looks of a human craftsman and not a goblin. It looks like there was some kind of fighting here.
Tyrla also finds a pack, its contents spilled into a nearby pool of water.
It seems there must have been some kind of battle here. There are various signs of conflict, though the resolution is unclear.
