''Ah....yes, there is much meat. We have to get this back to the cabin. The heat and the blood...it could spoil if left too long or wolves may come. We need help from the others. I'll stay here to keep scavengers away from our kill, and you take Cirdan back to the cabin to get some help- how is that? Can Benn help him with his injuries?''

Wat -

''Hurry back, friends.''

Issuing forth a string of curses Bennedict finally gives up his search and returns to the cabin.

"The body is gone," he says, disgustedly throwing the useless crossbow to the side of him. "I see no sign that anything living entered the basement to retrieve him, or that he stood and walked out. I don't like this at all. Where have the others gone?"
"Of course," Benn mutters, "It would be a damned shame if we ever knew what the hell was actually going on."

"You are not the only one having a bad feeling." He takes up a handful of the gravel to examine it more closely. He is absorbed in the task when he hears the nosie.

"Jon, were you seeing something?"

"Yes," he agrees, and lets most of the gravel fall to the earth, but puts a small handful in a pouch for later examination. "It is almost seeming to be a cooking pit. What it is meaning, I do not know." He casts another glance around at the charcoal. "When Wat was saying a fire demon took him, I thought he was meaning Gaston with his pistols. But seeing this, perhaps not."

He then rises, and picks up the trail again with Jon.

Norzak and Cirdan tramp through the woods until they reach Wat's Cabin. The dwarf didn't have to hurry to keep up with Cirdan, who's rather banged up as a result of the battle with the great boar.

Upon entering the log cabin, the find Benn and Alain both awake.



************


Jon and Dorgio try their best to follow the ragged trail of hoofprints, but the ground cover and the effect's of last night's rain combine to make the task difficult at best. They finally lose all trace of the rider at the edge of a rain-swollen creek- maybe the same stream that flows near Wat's home, and maybe not...

He nods, frowning. "It was worth checking. I am still wondering about that fire pit, though." With that, he turns, lights a cigarillo, and begins heading back the way they came.

Soon, Dorgio turns to Jon and says, "A few days ago, just after Gaston was killed. I should not have reacted as I did. It was . . . a lot to be taking in. But I'm sure it was nothing compared to what you were going through."

"Benn!," the dwarf calls out "Cirdan is injured, kin ye help him? We killed us a boar back in the woods, bub! Was real fun!"

"Eh?" Bennedict looks up from his musings, seeing that the dwarf has returned. "Ah, herr Norzak, yes I can tend to him. I have a feeling our time here has just become somewhat more complicated, so we'll need him at full strength and combat readiness."

He stalks past the dwarf without further explanation, turning towards the knight and assessing his injuries with his rudimentary understanding of healing skill.

He stalks past the dwarf without further explanation, but skids to a stop as he steps out and sees the dead dire boar. "Mein Gott!" he exclaims, eyes wide. "Look at the size of that thing! I've never seen one so big."

He shakes his head in amazement, turning towards the knight and assessing his injuries with his rudimentary understanding of healing skill.
[OOC- They didn't bring the pig with them. You'll want to edit that. The pig is back in the woods with Wat. It was too big to move without more help!]
