Gravan feels back in his right mind again as well. With the return of daylight and calm air the air turns warm and humid again.During the day there are only a few periods of rain as lesser storms seem to move through the area and only one of them brings occasional thunder and lightning.One of the lightning bolts does crash near to the party though, striking a tree that crashes within feet of NR4ZN.NR4ZN [sblock]The bolt was close enough to set off electromagnetic sensors and for a warning diagnostic to report that normal insulation and electricity conductive rerouting systems are currently partially compromised, some systems would be at risk from direct exposure to external electrical current.[/sblock]The storm has done a number on the woods. There are branches that broke off and crashed to the ground, occasional whole trees that were too rigid and snapped midway up the trunk, and some where the soil was loose and the trees toppled from the base exposing numerous roots and large amounts of soil. Sunlight pierces in among some new holes in the canopy and dapples on the moisture covered leaves.The morning of the day after the full rest Rooth makes her way back to finding the trail of the goblins, the rains washed away tracks and she does not expect to see signs of their passing until the party comes upon an encampment of theirs. Also with fallen trees and debris the course of the trail is sometimes obscured and requires some ranging to pick it up again after blocked points and some awkward maneuvering to scramble over downed trunks.Eventually the party does come upon what Rooth identifies as the goblins' encampment, places where a fire pit was excavated, wild strawberry plants that Rooth notes should have been bearing fruit are picked clean, and there is a little clearing space. A great tree is split by lightning and parts of it lie facing two different directions. At the base of the tree the bark is  scorched and burned black and there is the chewed on but definitely burned corpse of a large wolf creature. Looking around it appears lightning struck near here relatively closely multiple times.Rooth also notes large numbers of odd tracks seeming to originate from here. Not worg, rat, or goblin, but some sort of large insectoid tracks. Odder yet Rooth finds two sets where the size of the marks seem to grow from tiny to increasingly large as if the creatures grew as they walked.</blockquote>
