As you all make your way through the forest, following the hints and guesses of the stalking path that some creature is guiding the missing man along, you start to see the skeleton of a runoff creek common to areas with modest winters or frequent heavy rains. It is mostly dry at the moment, as whatever feeds it has not peaked enough to slack its thirst, but it is still moist enough that you see defined human footprints.
They seem to be following it, and this time very little seems to be disrupting the previously errant path.
As you come up to a slight rise, just enough to see beyond it, you see a rain gully that is home to an infrequent pond. As the season goes it fills with water, until it has enough to flood and cause those runoffs to flow like torrential creeks. Toward the off center of the pond you seen an island, most likely it is usually a hilltop, and upon it you see the form of a man hunched over a log. It is too far to tell if he is alive, or not.
[sblock=OOC]Perception checks, and also any pertinent statements of how you're approaching the situation, and what not. [/sblock]
