[QUOTE="Insight, post: 3762521, member: 11437"] [sblock=Group 2] Following the tracks, Dirk leads the rest of the group away from the Obelisk. After approximately half a mile, the three of you see the ruins of a merchant caravan. Four wagons, mostly ash now, half-empty carcasses of their former selves. Bodies lie broken and bled out amongst the wagons. Three dozen arrows prickle from the wagons. Dirk stops upon this scene and notes that the scorpitaur tracks are all around. He cannot make heads or tails of them, but that this is almost [i]certainly[/i] their handiwork. Upon closer examination, Dirk checks the scorpitaur tracks and realizes that the tracks go [i]around[/i] this ambush site. The scorpitaurs may have had nothing to do with this attack! [/sblock] [sblock=Asad]Nearing the wagons, you can barely make out some symbols you recognize - those of the Temple of the Eternal Sun. This temple, within Majoor itself, is known for its good works throughout the region. Some of the dead are dressed as adepts and acolytes. If these wagons were the part of some sort of pilgrimage, you don't see anyone here of sufficient rank to lead such an expedition.[/sblock] [sblock=G'Sharn and Dirk] Upon closer examination, these are [i]not[/i] scorpitaur arrows. Scorpitaurs tend to use larger arrows, as their huge bows are half again the size of the bows that normal folk use. Plus, scorpitaurs tend not to waste their arrows; the shots here seem placed mostly for effect; the majority of the dead were felled not by arrow fire, but by slashing and bludgeoning weapons. G'Sharn also notes the likely presense of poison amongst some of the dead.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
