Thorin looked a bit surprised when he saw the lodge in disarray. He hurried up to the clearing, curious to find what had happened there. He gripped the dagger he was holding a little bit tighter, rushing towards the lodge. He peered inside, using the torch as illumination. A quick scan told him that no one was injured here, not the he was aware of at least. Something told him that someone or something was looking for something, or someone in the lodge....perhaps a grudge or something similar...he did not have any time do do a good investigation now, he had more pressing matters at hand, he would fix the lodge later when he had the chance.<br/><br/>He noticed the smoldering fireplace though...was it perhaps possible that the resident of the lodge had left in a rage? No, the clues showed that the damage came from the outside...perhaps it was a kidnapping with no blood, or something in that direction. He continued down the path, now walking quicker, he was getting worried. ''Miss Hawthorn!'' He shouted out, randomly, as he scouted and looked around him which each step he took.
