The old track is quite easy to follow. Well, quite easy to follow if you can jump and balance like you can. For a normal person, this is definitely not an easy path to follow. You can also easily feel yourself leaving the perimeter of the manse's effects, the air no longer heavy with the energies of cause and effect.<br/><br/>Eventually the path leaves the tree tops, as it comes to a great burnt clearing. Once, long ago, grew here mighty trees and soft ferns. Now there is naught but ashes and stone-hard hulks of once tall trees. Several great pits, each yawning chasm big enough to swallow five men, dig into the earth, each a possible nest for the thing.<br/><br/>There are also some faint tracks leading away from the pits, and some human looking foot prints. Both, though, are quite old. The tracks months, the foot prints a few days.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Closer to the pits there are fresher foot prints. Three of the pits have three day old prints. One has two day old prints. The rest lack foot prints.</div></div>
