As he notices the ranger going away Kolarred turns to Zook.
"Mind giving me a hand with that armor" He asks almost ashamed.

"Sure i will" Zook helps the paladin with his armor. "I hope nature can give us a hint if something wrong.... i must listen very carefully too."

The paladin gets himself back into his platemail with the help of the rogue, and the ranger takes a few moments to recoil his rope and put it back over his shoulder. Luthal then trots off ahead to scout out the trail and verify the number and direction of the tracks. Once Kolarred and Zook get squared away, the two of them follow the gnoll up the trail.
The group hikes up the trail for another two hours or so, beginning the trek around the west side of the fourth peak. The sun is getting lower in the sky as the group is probably about an hour away from sunset. Luthal has been able to follow the trail pretty easily, Zook has been able to maintain watch for any out of the ordinary sights and sounds, and Kolarred has managed not to hurt himself too badly hiking in his armor.
As they hike up a small ridge on the side of the mountain... Luthal puts his hand up to stop the party's advance. He points up in the sky ((Spot check success)) and the group sees a number of crows and other carrion birds circling an area ahead on the trail. The gnoll puts his finger to his lips to signify to the group to be silent, then motions for Zook to move up ahead and check things out. The changeling nods, changes his color to shades of green, then sneaks off into the underbrush.

Zook:
When you advance up the trail about 200 feet, you come upon the area where the birds were circling. It appears to be the remnants of a battle. You are able to pick out a number of bodies lying on the ground, many of them being picked at by the crows and other birds. There are a handful of kobolds in various states of being hacked up, and what appears to be the chopped and bashed up remains of a very pale, sickly, non-bleeding dwarf and human.

The paladin, not seeing his friend reappears starts to worry.
"It's taking time, hopefully he didn't fall on the members of the Claw"

What in the name of The Traveler! Those two must bee undead... killed by this kobolts. Seems like it did take a hole regiment to take out those two. Zook looks over his shoulder and rushes back to Kolarred
"Kolarred! Ther's a dead dwarf and human, that looks very like some undead people by the color of their skin and the fact they do not bleed" "even with many serious wounds" "and around them lots of kobolts that must have killed them" "It's a ugly scene"

"Again. Let's put these one to rest once an for all"
Kolarred grabs his holy symbol in his right hand, keeping his shield in the left hand and runs towards the Zook.
He then shouts "Vade Retro, creatures of the night"
OOC Kolarred uses his turn undead ability, level 2 cha bonus +3

Kolarred's shout resonates and echoes across the mountainside as he crashes through the brush up the trail to where Zook saw the bodies. Luthal and Zook follow close behind, both with their weapons drawn (Luthal with his axes, Zook with his shortbow). Kolarred finally comes upon the scene, his holy symbol to the Soverign Host outstretched in his hand. However, the paladin had noticed that the symbol did not glow with any divine power as he approached, and even now there is no power surge as he looks upon the dead. Apparently if the dwarf and human were undead (and having now gotten a good look at the scene, he's willing to bet that they were), the negative energy used to animate the corpses has since been crushed out of them.
In addition to the two former zombies, he spies the remains of six kobolds. All of them look to be scouts or hunters (based on their green and brown clothing), their weapons primarily bows and spears and their armor leather... some studded, some not. Based on the prints and bloodstains all over the area, this battle seemed violent and sudden.

"Well, back home, that was what we called a big fuss fer nothin'."
Luthal spits onto the bodies of the kobolds and undead.
"If I had ta guess, I would say these here...", he points at the undead, "were keeping watch, or maybe were left behind to slow any persuers. These kobolds came among 'em. Hard to imagine that nobody left the scene walking, though. Let me take a look around to see what sort of trail I can pick up."
ooc: Take ten if needed, thoroughly searching the area for tracks.

Kolarred approaches the creature carefully.
"Good idea Luthal, while you search I will make sure these two don't suddenly wake up"
Kolarred replaces his symbol around his neck, draw his sword and decapitated the undead corpse.
He then addresses a small prayer to all those who felt, even the Kobold.
