Heroics around Hommlet [IC]

[Thels]

OOC: No Track AND no ranks in search, so info is very basic.

The position of the cart and the horses indicate that the cart was leading away from the city. There must have been quite a bit of turmoil, as the ground on that part of the path is quite disturbed.

The horse's flesh seem ripped off by claws or teeth more than cut off by a knife.

Except for the whispering of the wind, the place is awfully quiet. Now that you're standing still, the autumn wind is quite chilly.

Geryn says, "I think we best move on."

 

[Manzanita]

Raven

"Yes, so, Astatia, have you seen anything like that before? And what brought you from the lands of the elves, anyway?" Raven will ask her in elvish.

 

[Wilphe]

(Elvish)"No, never. If my knowledge was better I could try and see if that was done after the horses died or if it was what killed them. If we are fortunate we will meet a scout going the other way to find out why their messanger has not returned. If not, we will find out what killed them soon enough." she shrugs, "As for your other question, the world is a big place, why limit yourself to just part of it?"

Raven

Raven will then shift back to Col. "So, about those Riddles..."

 

[MattDroz]

Gideon steps out of the shadows and moves back with the group. "Those marks are vicious. What could do that to a horse?"

 

[WhatKu]

"The man who makes it sells it, the man who buys it dosnt use it, the man who uses it dosnt know it. What is it?"

 

[Manzanita]

Raven

"Yes. I've given it some thought. Care to give me a hint?"

 

[Majin]

Damien sheaths his sword and visibly untenses. "Well it appears whatever was here is long gone. I say we get moving.

 

[Thels]

As you move on through the forest, you notice a lack of other people using the road. Perhaps people stay away due to the threat of the Hobgoblins, perhaps it's just coincidental. the forest grows thicker, but the road's still quite clear and easy to pass, especially for a small group on foot such as yourselves. Nothing much happens until a couple of hours later, you run across a sack lying on the ground, appearantly empty. Next to it is a wooden plate with an inscription, reading:

This is an ambush
Place your valuables
into the sack so you
can continue unharmed

OOC: Still breaking your head over that one?
