Evenar cleans his dagger, resheaths it and picks up his bow and aroow, once again walking with the arrow nocked, but not drawn.

Abrielle was releived beyond words to have the bloodsucker off her body. "Some adventurer i am..." She smiled, tucked her hair behind her pointy ears, and went over to the human lad that had aided her.
Fayne was young looking, which for a human meant he was around 20 years of age, one-fifth of Abrielle's own age. Still, he was quite focused and useful in battle, and the girl was very grateful for the assistance. "I am well, thanks to you." Abrielle smiled, hugged the human lad and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
"His eyes are funny." she thought, as she looked at the lad's face. "Not a pretty boy by any standards. But manly, and he protected me..." Abrielle wanted to become an adventurer and a hero, but some part of her still enjoyed being looked after and rescued as a damsel in distress.

Rickard's Broken Cart
After the short battle with the stirges, you prepare to continue on. Selua finally calms down her mule with a few minutes of further coaxing and soothing, and then Tarven asks "Everyone alright for moving forward?" With no objections, he says "Alright," and starts leading the group along the trail left by Rickard's running escape from the gnolls. Merrick marches alongside, both guardsmen carrying their crossbows in-hand as they go.
After almost another hour, you find the smashed remains of Rickard's cart and some of the goods and personal effects strewn about there. Blood is spattered about, and a large amount of it is pooled around where the horse must've fallen. However, it looks like the horse-carcass was hauled off, since only a faint trail of blood-drops and heavy footsteps leads away from the ambush site, no corpses. They must've drained out most of the blood here before hauling away their catch. Many broken candles and blocks of wax lie amidst the splinters of the broken cart.
The old forest trail, barely wide enough for that one-horse cart, winds through here and continues on, probably towards the lumberjacks' exit you saw outside the forest a few hours ago. Tarven and Merrick start poking around the cart and investigating the scene for a few minutes.

The blood, splattered around the otherwise scenic fall forest, made Abrielle reluctant to touch anything. "It smells like iron." she thought, as she walked around to see if there is any clue left that might help the group. "This will be hard while trying to keep my boots clean."

Selua keeps close to her mule, keeping an eye out for possible ambush as the others search around.
