Message: <blockquote data-quote="Isida Kep'Tukari" data-source="post: 4079238" data-attributes="member: 4441">Irthos, examining the leathery substance you ripped away from the small humanoid's body, it seems to be part of leather strap reinforced by metal, along with a bloody scrap of hardened purple leather.  The blood, however, has a distinct orange tone and acrid scent that sets your teeth on edge.Arrgha'n examines the area and finds a few tracks from the filcher, and a few less of the man you assume is Roth.  There is an area where something bulky, heavy, and somewhat spikey was stashed behind a tree, and the size matches up with what was on Roth's back.While the hobgoblin-kin is examining the ground, Oliver, Yatrax, and Maavnod can take a look at the marauder head, if they're so inclined.  Near the short crest on the head is a series of what looks like bronze nails and heavy staples, slightly corroded, holding together what looks like a fresh head wound, a long laceration.  [sblock=Maavnod]You're not sure what mutation, per se, could have allowed Roth to escape by air.  A mutation might have let him compress himself, and there are some mutants who have wings, but Roth clearly had no visible wings.  Thinking back to what Andoran has asked of you for this mission, you have a horrible sneaking suspicion that perhaps this flying thing could be one of those "unusual artifacts."  Or it might be a magic item.  Or perhaps something else, like a metallic creature or construct, it's hard to say...[/sblock]</blockquote>
