*Didn't matter whether the smoke was visible or not. Kalisha knew the direction, so she beelined for it without wavering. Up until she came to the frozen forest, she didn't stop or change direction at all.
The frozen trees, no life whatsoever... Didn't expect it to be this bad, but the weather is that crazy that even an Oni like herself isn't exactly thrilled about being in it without portable warmth.
Kalisha looks down at the ground for a moment, checking for signs of life, and notices some tracks in the ground... She considers following it, but not too sure as to how to get back. Kalisha could leave Ire behind, but then she'd be abandoning both her weapon and warmth, both things she may need if she runs into whatever's making these not-so-human tracks... Terrible ideas, both of them. She ultimately decides to keep beelining forward for the smoke.*

*Kalisha, ignorning the tracks of snow that strayed away from her path, would walk in the direction straight towards the smoke's origin, considering that she already had a good enough sense of direction to follow.
As you walk towards the smoke, the tracks you saw from earlier would slowly die out and disappear, almost as if the creator of the trail was walking towards the encampment, rather than away from it. For some reason, the trail didn't follow your direct path, which could be considered rather odd; you wouldn't see it, but the tracks would take a path to the right, circling to the east side of the encampment.
The air would grow colder and colder with the passing minute, threats of frostbite lingering throughout the land as you arrive at the supposed encampment. Upon reaching your destination, you wouldn't be able to see anything but the tattered and worn remains of a former settlement, with wooden boxes covered in snow being noticeable, as well as the tattered remains of two tents facing a fire. The fire would burn strongly and brightly if you looked at it, and would illuminate the surrounding area.
Because of the fire's light, you would be able to catch a glimpse of a blood trail leading out of the tents and into the woods once more, with tracks showing that an assailant had come from the eastern side of the forest. The blood trail would also follow this path, but seemingly two bodies were dragged out of their respective tents.*
Peter
*Kalisha takes a deep breath to get some air and increase her heart rate a bit for some warmth. Seems like her burning weapon isn't keeping her as warm as she needs it to, especially as the day grows ever-colder.
Finally, the encampment. Kalisha wasn't sure to be relieved, or worried - it's a sign of people being present... But the bodies are a sign of everyone probably being dead.
The young Oni approaches one of the dead bodies to check for vitals. She moves her Kanabo and lays it on the ground next to her, and crouches down to feel the body's neck and wrist for a pulse. Kalisha closes her eyes as she focuses on trying to feel blood flow in the body with her fingertips...*
Anthony
*As Kalisha closed her eyes and examined the body, she would be able to feel no blood pulse through the veins of the one she was inspecting. Her Kanabo on the ground next to her, the body would feel the same as the winter snow; cold, frozen, and dead. Upon a closer inspection, she would find that the body had numerous marks of violence on their front and backs, namely numerous gaping holes protruding from the midsecion and the neck, though once she got close, she would be able to see a single arrow sticking out of one of the body's right shoulder. The arrow's wounds, as well as the wounds on the body, would be completely frozen; a sign that the bodies probably were left to stay out in the cold for a prolonged amount of time. 

The other body would look the same as well, however it had even more violent wounds than the other. There were marks of scratching, biting, and even chunks of the body's shoulder, leg, and thigh would be missing. They seemed to be completely ripped off of the body's limbs, and they seemed to be torn off with an insane amount of biting power. This body would also have a single spear wound through it's right lung, but no arrow wounds like the other.*
Peter
*Normally one would check the wounds first, rather than checking a pulse. Of course there's no doubt these guys would have been dead even if they weren't basically eaten alive - this cold is brutal.
She does examine the arrow in this guy's chest... The body's frozen solid, which will make it impossible to get it out until it's warmed up a little bit. Kalisha shifts Ire over so its flames can warm up the body over time. She could potentially examine the arrow for engravings, lingering magical activity, or poisons, when she gets it out.
While waiting, Kalisha looks over at the other dead guy and notices entire limbs are missing off him. That definitely was not an attack by other people. Maybe the beasts that made those tracks she saw attacked this place, but she can't know for sure.
She decides to check out the nearest tent while she waits for the body to defrost. Maybe Kalisha can find something to explain what these guys were here for. She pulls back the fabric doorway and crawls into the tent to check it out.*
