Kolarred kneels down amongst the bodies and begins the rituals that he knows will send the souls of the departed to Dolurrh. Although he has no love lost with kobolds in general... no manner of creature should lose their life to a being of unlife like the dwarf and human were. As he sits amongst the dead, he notices something very odd... something he did not expect to find here...
Kolarred:
Luthal heads further up the trail to look at the tracks, and he finds some things of interest. First off... the number of tracks obviously has dropped, what with the two zombies having been destroyed. He counts and estimates the group as now numbering at about seven, plus a mule. That would be the Valenar monk Zola Ko, the half-orc Vol priest Horik Laan, the wizard Kendra Paxus, the rogue Steevin Streets, and three(?) additional guardsmen. He also notices the following...
Luthal:
Zook fans out and moves through the trees, looking for anything of note. He sees that the signs of battle also occured further in off the trail, based on the broken branches, crushed bushes and weeds, and the like. There are a number of arrows all around the area as well - stuck in trees, sticking out of the ground. He also notices...
Zook:
Kolarred:
Two of the six kobolds wear the symbol for Boldrei, the goddess of the hearth, around their necks.

Luthal:
There are two small trails of blood following the tracks up the trail, so your guess is that the Claws were all in the area when the fight with the kobolds occured and some left the battle a bit injured. Also, there are no longer any shuffling trails, so you don't believe the half-orc had time to raise any more undead from this battle.

Zook:
All the arrows seem to have been shot from the same direction, all coming from further up the mountain... down into the melee on the trail. As you advance further up about sixty or seventy feet, you can see obvious tracks in the leaves behind a number of the trees and bushes. You would guess that while a bunch of the kobolds were engaged in melee with the Claws, there were a handful up here hiding behind the trees acting as snipers.

"Hmmph. The tracks go up as expected, but I think I was wrong about the undead being left behind. I think the whole group fought the wee beasts." Luthal scans the trail ahead, looking carefully for signs that they may have left behind any suprises in the form of booby traps for the Knightmares. "Anyone else find anything good?"

"How bizarre, Kobold worshipping Boldrei"
The paladin raises his head and looks around to see what his friend found. Before commenting on his discovery.

"It's seems that the archers in this fight stood up there" he point a spot higher up on the mountain "they fired many arrows" "so i guess they did fire upon the melee uninterrupted"...."it's and about seventy feet up hill" "a bunch of kobolts if you ask me".... "luthal maybe you make more sense of the tracks"

Luthal nods his head and starts walking up the hill towards Zook, while Kolarred remains down by the battlefield. Zook walks around a bit more, spying what he can, waiting for Luthal to get up here to take a look at things. As the gnoll approaches, both of them hear a snapping of a twig another thirty or so feet up above where Zook saw the tracks of where the kobolds fired from ((DC 15 Listen check succeeds)). The two adventurers quickly throw looks at each other to confirm that the other one heard something too, and immediately they leap behind trees and bushes to hide.
Kolarred... down below... sees both Luthal and Zok duck down behind some cover, and his inspires him to also move below some cover down below, just in case.
Zook and Luthal strain to hear anything else as they remain hidden behind their bits of cover, and while no other sounds get heard, Zook does see a flash of light as the sun reflects off a pair of eyes hidden up the hill behind a bush of their own ((Spot check succeeds)). Based on the size of the bush and the way the eyes are placed and moving about, whatever or whoever is behind it is not that large.
