Gnarled roots amidst the litter of leaves and pine needles require careful footing. Small canyons drop off suddenly, carved by creek tributaries from the Arel River. The thicker the forest becomes the more intermittent your view of your white-winged guide. After nearly an hour, you find yourselves standing at a small embankment which drops down into a gulley to the south where you can make out what may be a cave entrance, and an embankment leading up to a hilltop ringed by a copse of alders with circle of standing stones in the middle. Above you, the white raven lands in an alder, grackling and looking up toward the embankment.[SBLOCK=Elora, Fergus, Tamaran (Passive Perception DC 15)]There is an unnerving sound just barely audible from the hilltop, like something inhuman wailing in pain by something barely capable of speech. It sounds like it is moving in your general direction.[/SBLOCK][SBLOCK=Barakor]A subtle scratched marking in one of the trees is a sign used by criminals. While you don't know the precise meaning, you've seen such symbols used in Mahakam during the time of the rising Darkness there.[/SBLOCK][SBLOCk=Elora & Talashia (Sorceress lore)]There is a buzz of dark power in the air, traces of abjuration, necromantic and transmutation magic washing over the landscape around the hill.[/SBLOCK][SBLOCK=Fergus (Witcher lore)]This is just the sort of terrain that trolls favor. The worn bark you've seen on a few of the trees could be due to bucks scratching their back, but it could also be trolls doing the same. No sign of any "troll pies" or tracks, however, and your medallion isn't vibrating yet.[/SBLOCK][SBLOCK=Tamaran (Elven lore)]The Free Elves consider the Czernhurst to be the demesnes of Nan the Hag. From your study of the area's geography, you must be close to the druidic Circle of Tagha Bough.[/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
