Midnight: Peril in Arbordale

[Toric_Arthendain]

Cautiously moving into the clearing, a total of seven graves can be seen. All seven are open and located around the edges of the clearing. One of the shallow graves is much smaller than the others as if it contained a halfling or small child. Two of the graves are extremely large, maybe nine or ten feet long and several feet wide. All of the graves are shallow. Four of the graves seem to have been opened very recently, within the last week or so. The small one and the two large ones were obviously opened longer in the past because the piled dirt around each is more hard and frozen than the other four. There appear to be no other graves, open or closed, in the clearing. Tracks are present in the clearing, crisscrossing the area but are difficult to make out. The trees have helped to keep some of the snow off the ground but the tracks are still difficult to follow.

"I don't get? What would be in such a huge grave as those two?"
Dane looks around, abviouly nervous nad keeping an eye out for trouble.

[norther]"Well, looks like we've definitely got some hunting to do,"[/norther] Elidur says as he stares at the three older graves. The Dorn leans down towards the hard, frozen ground to see if he can make heads or tails of the faint tracks.

 

[Thrarn Iranorn]

Thrarn kneels next to one of the graves and looks around the clearing. Picking up a handful of the frozen earth he flicks it back into the grave. "I think we should go back to town and get some rest. Stumbling around in the darkness has got us nowhere. Maybe whatever we are seeking will come to us when we sleep. Does anybody have any other suggestions? "

OOC: I believe Keia is out of town at the moment so I don't think he'll be posting again until next week. I'll wait another day or so for maddmic to post in the event he has anything to add before I move on.

[OOC: I'd also assume Wil's at Gen Con. No doubt enjoying his win at the ennies. ]

Kuknar looks around and nods to the burnt one's idea. "Perhaps not sleep, but maybe if we wait out the night here for them, they may come back."

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

OOC: Yes, I talked to Wil via e-mail about a week ago. He has been pretty busy because of convention season and is hoping to get back to the game when things quiet down.

[norther]"I've heard that they shun the day, so perhaps that is when we should rest,"[/norther] Elidur suggests. [norther]"Course that may just be rumour. Perhaps we can bait their hunger with a trap."[/norther]

 

[Keia]

"Well, we're already out here. Let's see if we can track any of these prints to another location," Darius suggested. "If it's too difficult to track I suggest we get some much needed rest and return in the daylight. If anyone was wounded I can work on healing the back at the inn."
