Esdras and the group hired a local man to take them to the bog so as not to waste time. But since they were already there they also checked out the recent ambush site.
This was the power of money, with just the right amount many things could become easier.
An overturned cart riddled with small, splintered arrows lies near two fallen trees that block the dirt road. Axes, swords, and more arrows are scattered nearby.
The road is torn up by horse hooves and wagon tracks that appear to turn off abruptly and lead off into the forest.
This is the site of the most recent ambush conducted by the Redpeal goblins. Though all signs point to a fierce battle, there are no traces of blood in the area and no bodies.
The tracks show that another wagon came this way, in addition to the one that now lies on its side. That larger wagon was driven off into the nearby swamp, on a route leading into the bog. There is nothing of value left in the wreckage.
