<strong>Quick Ruling--</strong><br/><br/>Istavan, it is difficult to ascertain foot prints beyond a certain perimeter, since the ground has been disturbed by the gathered crowd.  However, you notice that there were three sets of kobold footprints emerging from the tower, and they headed down the footpath.  Their footprints vanish into the crowd.<br/><br/>You remember that two kobolds were found burnt to a crisp--the deputies were talking about it.  So your eyes scan the hillside and you quickly discover that some children are looking at the charred remains of two creatures.  You hadn't seen them because the remains were on the eastern slope of the hill upon which the stately manner sat, and you had traversed from the west, and along its southern slope.<br/><br/>You also recall that a kobold was found burnt to a crisp upon the manor's porch.<br/><br/>So the footprints match the bodies.<br/><br/>Interestingly, though the footpath is well-worn, it does not appear that anyone has entered the tower in a long time.
