Once Finna had slain the kobold and gotten her bearings she examined the body.  The Kobold wasn't breathing and had no pulse she beat it with the swift strike completely killing the creature without any worry of ramifications that may come from attacking it.  She looked over the unusual creature that didn't have the same color skin or size to it but otherwise was similar to an orc that she could have the wrong idea based off of what the old man Trot had told her.  Any creature having a humanoid form to her would be unusual.  It was half the size at least of what an orc would be so it did leave the stories that Trot had told her less than impressive as she decided the creature was an orc as opposed to a Kobold.  She she examined the creature closer she rolled it off of its back and onto its stomach to reveal a small brown bag tied to his back.  In the bag that was tied to him she found a small map of the local area and 10 pieces of gold.  Why the creature had the map wasn't certain as she couldn't ask him now that he was slain.  It was a crudely drawn map but it gave a general area of the map and where the village was located.<br/><br/>Finna was able to locate the path that the Kobold had used to jump out of the bushes but as she inspected the bushes she noticed the basket that Aesa owned dropped the the bushes with berries laying out as if they had been spilled when the basket was dropped.  She was able to discern in the dirt drag marks of a path heading northward  from where the busghes were as if Aesa had been grabbed and dragged away with no one realizing what had happened to Aesa,<br/><br/>http://www.ottobraunrecords.info/coppermine/albums/userpics/10001/PlayerMap.jpg (http://www.ottobraunrecords.info/coppermine/albums/userpics/10001/PlayerMap.jpg)
