Barir notices that some of the claw marks are spaced apart about as far as his fingernails would be if he were to climb a tree with his hand spread open and his fingers curled in, implying that whatever made these marks were made by a hand about the size of his but possessing claws. Others are closer together, about the space between his toenails if they had claws. It looks as if some creature roughly the size of Barir or a little smaller climbed this tree with claws.<br/><br/>The claw marks go up the tree about halfway, and in the woods nearby, Barir spots another tree with claw marks on it - presumably the tree that this creature jumped to from the first tree. As Barir peers into the night, there is a more-or-less straight trail heading through the forest from tree to tree, with claw marks denoting which trees were used along this path.<br/><br/>Edit: As Barir follows this trail, he becomes certain that he is approaching something supernatural. It could be virtually anything supernatural, but he feels as though he's drawing close to a primarilly unfamiliar aura, as though it is something that he is familiar with but has been changed or altered somehow into the unfamiliar. Before long, the trail comes down to the ground again, and a set of clawed female footprints become a set of claw-less female footprints after only a few strides before the terrain goes rocky again and Barir loses the trail as it goes toward a rocky outcropping near a small cliff face.
