"Well, the problem with a trap like this is that you don't know who could set it off. I'd say its more likely to get set off by someone who comes to check up on the family that used to live here than by who - or what - ever did this. I think we should take them down."

"That's a good point."

Ducats thinks for a moment.

"Less we wanted to hide somewheres round here and try to bushwhack 'em."

[ooc] Is there a shovel around?

You've seen none in the house, but a cursory search of a couple likely outbuildings is sure to turn one up.

Caby cuts the traps down with her sword.

"Ummm... how do you want to go about picking up the remains, Tagor?" She doesn't appear very thrilled at the prospect of what they need to do.

Is there a blankett or something they could be gathered onto?

Obtained: 1 blanket, large.

Caby lays the blanket down on the floor in the kitchen and starts carefully picking up bones and setting them on it.

I help.

After about twenty minutes of this grisly but admirable work, the blanket contains the remains from both the kitchen and main room. Leaving the farmhouse, Tagor determines an appropriate place for burial. Obtaining a shovel from one of the outbuildings, you dig a hole in an area which seems both out of the way, yet near an area of probable family activities.

Sharing the digging duties, you complete the cathartic task of burying the remains, after which Tagor says a few comforting words. You may all reduce your insanity points by 1.

The 3 of you and Cash now stand outside, perhaps 2 hours before noon. The sky is still grey, and although the wind has died to a breeze, it is still cold.

"Where should we go next?"

[ooc] Are there any footprints anywhere?

Ducats scans around the ground for footprints..

And finds some! Some of them are barefoot, but strangely shaped and with claws. Some are booted, but long and thin, coming to a point.

Caby asks, "Can you tell how many... things... there were, Ducats? And in what direction they were headed or came from?"

Caby sheathes her short sword, draws her bow and nocks an arrow and scans the area as Ducats examines the tracks.

"Hm. Let's see."

[ooc] is it possible for either of us to tell?

"You might be better at follerwing 'em, I'm a city boy."

Caby has a good chance of determining more about the tracks..

..and she is able to tell that these tracks are the most recent before your own. They have come and gone multiple times over the last week or two. There are at least half a dozen different individuals.. some wide, some thin.. some heavy, some light.. some barefoot, some booted. Also, they come and go from the north.

If Caby passes on the information, Ducats asks her,

"Why ya think they kept comin' and goin' so much?"
