Mutilated Corpses in North Ride

A curious traveler on the path to the Refugee Fort might notice a stench of decay nearby. Exploring to find the source, they would come across two dead bodies, mutilated, and tied to trees, near the path. One of the corpses, still recognizable as that of a local human bandit, has had its tendons slashed, clavicle broken, and fingers cruelly torn out. The other, a hin bandit, is cleaved almost in twain, exposed spine jutting out of the back, head barely hanging on to the rest of the body.

Bloody footprints lead away from the scene, towards the Forest of the Dead.
