OOC - Southeast is off the road, towards the Deepwater river. The river is called thus because it is in a very deep, steep-sided gorge. Many caves are in the area.

*Tyralis nods.* "I'd be willing to bet they're in those caves, nasty buggers. Is there any history of Kobold activity around? A warren nearby, anything like that?"

"Kobolds I canna wait to get me hands on! Blasted buggers, attacking honest traders like that. Ain't right. Little cowards they are too..." mutters Torug.
*With someone following the tree road, and someone following the faint wagon tracks, you're able to following the kobold raiders. The tracking is difficult, and you have to consume many hours of daylight back-tracking and checking to make sure you're heading in the right direction. It's not until dusk that you find something. There's a low hillock covered with thick vines. Torug's sharp eyes spot something sticking out of the dirt next to the vines; a large bone, like that from a horse. He also spies a few bits of broken boards further on. The wagon tracks go on past the hillock, though they are much fainter.*

Torug draws his morningstar and whispers what everyone is plainly thinking. "Well, I be thinking this is it. A horse bone, broken boxes...get ready fer a good rough and tumble, eh?"
*Are you examining the bones? Following the tracks? Looking at the vines?*

Sargon
Sargon eyes the trees suspiciously. "They've got to be aware they could be followed, and probably will keep an eye on their trail at some point. Perhaps here they broke up the wagon, and sorted through the cargo. If you're going ahead, Fluke, we'll cover you with our missile weapons."
*Sargon will step off the trail, trying to gain a different vantage point than the rest of the group, but will try to keep an eye on Fluke*
