Elyssa moves in the mountain woods, with very little trace of life in the chilling winds which howl through the mountain and the forest. She hears a distant sound of thunder, sound of rain approaching and rapidly. It's matter of minute or two before rain starts to pour down upon her and the forest. But even in sound of thunder and rain, her elven ears pick up sudden howl.....sounds of battle?! She rushes forward to the scene, quickly as her legs and body allows.<br/><br/>But still, all she finds is then empty battlefield. Arrow here and there, smell of blood and muddy ground had soaked in blood and still felt warm and found torn arm in the bush. But besides the arm there was no bodies at all to be found. She finds a medallion.....it belongs to one ranger scouts?! She looks around and sees that there was eight scouts moving together....and were ambushed by four attackers, which wore boots but size of those boots were belonging a much larger creature. Somewhere between ogre and human in size. Besides most trolls and ogres do not wear boots. The attackers foot prints sink deeper and there are signs of cart tracks, cart which was hidden in a bush near ambush site.<br/><br/>She follows the cart tracks, rain makes tracks fade and disappear rapidly so luckily she was near the battle site when battle begun. As otherwise she would have hard or even impossible task to follow the fading tracks which lead higher to the mountains and move through narrow passes which were hidden from distance as they blend into terrain. Soon she reaches the top of one smaller mountains and in atop she finds ancient keep fortifications, overgrown with moss and eroded by time. Appearing empty and abandoned, but cart tracks lead to it.....also one keep's chimneys release smoke into air. But besides that none the windows display no light whatsoever.<br/><br/>Cart tracks move through keep's front gates, gates are open with no doors blocking entry. Overall entire keep and situation gives Elyssa a ominous feeling. Feeling of something dark, twisted and unnatural in the keep. Also feeling that's she's watched. Yet her sharp senses gives no indication of such.
