The Rescue Party

[Flex]

Walton clenches his teeth and represses a scream, clutching his leg tightly.

[The Smith]

Walton sees no one around from the bottom of the ravine.

[Flex]

Grunting he tries checks his leg to see if it is broken or wounded in any way.

[The Smith]

While in great pain Bolton is able to force himself to his feet, and stand on it. His speed is greatly reduced, and he knows that he can never climb back up the way he had come down.

[Flex]

Walton curses low under his breath and sets off towards the five huts, checking the ground for any tracks leading away from the "village".

[The Flint]

Domeric entered the village behind Walton cautiously, searching what he could find, about who had come and done this to these wildlings.

[The Smith]

The village is empty, but completely burned. Domeric spots something strange on a large white tree just outside the village. From a distance it looks like a face has been drawn on a tree, as he grows closer he can tell that a human face has been nailed onto the tree pointing toward town.

[The Flint]

Domeric grimaced. It was a cruelty only men knew, to desecrate the body of the dead. Wildlings. He made his way towards the town cautiously.

[The Smith]

There were no people left in the village. The five huts stand empty, and charred.

[The Flint]

Domeric looked for the bodies of the slain, if there were any about. If there were not, he looked for drag marks, to see if he could find evidence that the living had been snatched and dragged away.

[The Smith]

He eventually found drag marks, and following them he found a mass grave just inside the nearby woods. Seven men, and eighteen woman's bodies lay in the ditch, all of their faces had been skinned off.

[The Flint]

"Fucking monsters," Domeric remarked to himself, as he considered the vengeance that ought to be reaped on one's such as these. He looked for evidence of where the murderers may have gone as after their killing was done.

[The Smith]

Looking into the woods he sees another large white tree with a door frame drawn on it with charcoal, there is a pathway straight toward it from the grave site.

[The Flint]

Domeric approached the door "frame" and tried to examine it. Did it open? what was its author trying to tell him?"

[The Smith]

Closer to the tree it was just a drawing on the tree, he say the path of bloody feet continue on past the tree, and out of the northern pass of the ravine.
