The group nodded before venturing off to follow the traces of the battle.
They began surveying the area, taking in every detail that may provide clues about the thaids' identities.
The trees showed more than just claw marks after some point; several trunks and lower branches were charred black, with wisps of smoke still drifting from some.
Erik ran his hand along one scorched patch, feeling the deep grooves left by the intense heat.
Some type of fire had been involved in the fight, but it was a peculiar one, which reduced the number of possible thaids who could have fought here.
While moving further into the clearing, the scorch marks increased in frequency and size.
Entire sections of grass and undergrowth had been burned away, leaving large patches of scorched earth.
