After a few hours of traveling South along the road, the group comes on a grizzly scene. They first notice a large dead Ogre laying in the middle of the road, surrounding him are three dead. Some of you will recognize the three. Furnok the Gambling Halfling, Harald the Bard, and Zert. All people you've met at the Inn of the Welcome Wench when you arrived in Hommlet. Two wagons, which look to be ransacked, as well as a dead horse. The second horse missing.
Putting things together it looks like the trio were set upon by Ogres. From the look of it, at least three of them from the tracks. They managed to kill one of the Ogres but then died themselves. The club that one of the Ogres used still lays nearby covered in dried blood and brain matter. The three are very dead. Carrion birds have already started picking at the flesh. The tracks tell a story. The two other Ogres dragged off the second horse, a path is clearly visible leaving the road and heading into the surrounding forest.
It looks like Zert didn't want to wait any longer and recruited Furnok & Harald to come along with him to check on the Caravan. Figuring that they might encounter something, they brought along two wagons in the event they needed to help the Caravan.
