Wildwood Red in Tooth and Claw II [IC]

Weylan watches for a few more moments looking for signs of movement then heads back towards the others.

When he arrives, he tells them what he saw, "There was a fight up ahead. Several dead goblins and several dead forest animals who were fighting them."

The thicket of trees are close enough together that it takes significant time for members to squeeze through, or wait for NR4ZN to smash down enough trees to forge a path to the site.

Thelso [sblock]As you get closer you can scent a light charring scent of burnt wood, as if there were a contained fire that did not spread.[/sblock]

The trees do open out into a devastated path that goes off in two directions. The trees are downed and there are charred remains, though the fire did not seem to spread far.

NR4ZN[sblock]The burns and dimensions of the path appear consistent with particle cannon blasts.[/sblock]

You all see a pair of small corpses, one of them with the crow pecking dartingly at the eyes as it perches upon the creature's head. Also there is some white and black round bear-like creature, a number of moderately sized lizards, and some dead birds of some sort lying dead on the path, many chewed badly with flesh ripped out. There are insects buzzing and crawling around many of them, beetles, flies, and ants mostly. A few short arrows are sticking out of the bear-like thing.

The crow gulps its prize and lets out a delighted sounding "Kuow!"
 



Inamar wrinkles her nose in disgust...yet leans over to get a better look at the bear thing.

"You know, this would have been kind of cute while it was alive. And, you know, not trying to kill us."

She paces around the grisly circle and shakes her head.

"Is this what we came out here for? Where do we go now?" She glances at the crow and makes shooing gestures. "Go on and lead us!"
 

"Lords, I am chagrined to inform you that a technological force is responsible for this bloodshed. The burns are consistent with particle beam weapons."
 

Weylan cocks his head, trying to figure out how that fits in, "Well, whoever was fighting with these weapons you speak of they don't seem to have left any behind, which side do you think they were fighting on?"
 

"Kuaw!" The crow squawks indignantly and hops off the corpse. It flaps its wings and takes flight, heading a short ways down the path heading in the left-hand direction as you came upon the path. The crow alights on a tree branch just before it would have headed out of sight.
 

"Whoever has these weapons you speak of may still be close....I pray we find the druid soon, I do not like this one bit." Thelso will await for the other and proceed.
