What Happened Here?
Béar kneels next to one of the bodies, carefully examining the area around it first for tracks and spoor. He finds nothing around the body that would give a clue as to what happened but when he examines the body he finds it's been dead for awhile - he's unable to tell exactly how long, but it's pretty messy. He also determines that the body has been crushed. Most of the bones in the torso are broken in several places, one arm as well. Enough remains of the internal organs to see that most of them have been pulped.
The party eventually finds 20 bodies, obviously miners. They had set up camp next to a clear, cold stream with a rocky bed. Their tents have been shredded, plainly most of them were killed in their sleep. There are a couple of overturned carts, some woven baskets, and some sort of shattered mining device next to the stream.
Cerallos' examination of the camp yields a little additional information. He determines that only six of the miners had a chance to flee whatever attacked them, and that they ran every direction except north - none of them got very far, anyway. There are no tracks or signs of what attacked them - presumably the tracks of the men and the elements have obfuscated any such.

OOC: I will relay the information I have picked up to the rest of the party.

Cerallos
Cerallos relays his info as well.
"I agree Master Gavril, these poor fellows, if they were somehow cursed and brought to life again, they would have difficulty functioning with all the shattered bones. Who's in agreeance to perhaps gather the bodies, say a few words if one so wishes, and cremate their remains. This would also help to rid ourselves of those birds!"
"Master Gavril, would you care for company on first watch?"

OCC - I guess it's hard to relay sarcasm in a post. After these fellows died in their sleep, I was being a smart ass with my post.
Skáth would prefer a little more cover to a camp site, just his suggestion.
Mike, what is the surrounding terrain like, outside of the mine area.

What Happened Here?
The map doesn't show the vegetation, just the elevation. The party is still in the middle of dense jungle (it's just not quite as dense here as it has been in the travelling to get here). You can actually see a few patches of sky through the trees in the mining area. It is getting on into the late afternoon, and the party is on the southeast side of the hill/mountain so it will be dark early.
Deasaigh suggests that here is as good a place as any to camp. "The lighter cover will make for slightly longer range with my bow." He heartily approves of the idea of burning the bodies to prevent them rising. However, he also states his belief that the preponderance of undead had more to do with that 'shadow thing' than with area conditions. "After all, both places we encountered them, we also encountered it! I suggest the bodies be burned downwind."
