They are dead, but you judge that they stumbled out onto the roadway sometime this morning. From the garb, you'd guess they are a hunter or the like... someone who would be decently accustomed to what dangers might exist out here.

Thavriol looks at the wounds trying to determine what caused them. When he's done he says, "Let's see if we kin find some tracks. I'm OK at that but could help one of you if any are better."
ooc: What should he roll for the first thing (I'm thinking Medicine again). For the second, let me know if he should roll Survival or if someone has a better bonus that +2
Thavriol can surmise the limb loss is due to traumatic force. The sort of injury one might expect if a limb were tied to a horse that took off at a gallop.
((I'll take and Investigation check for other clues on the body, and a Survival check for looking for tracks.))

Nolla notes that the disturbed undergrowth seems to indicate that he scrambled out of the woods, and likely fell upon reaching the road and lacked the strength to get back up again. Without venturing into the woods to follow the trail, it seems erratic, spots of blood visible in a pattern that coincides with a very injured fellow stumbling about.
Samael is pretty sure that it wasn't wolves that killed him, though there are slash and bite marks in addition to the massive trauma of having an arm removed. The slashes are longer, narrower and deeper than what seems likely for the claws or teeth of a wolf, and the bite marks are wider and more rounded... more humanoid than bestial, despite the deep punctures and tears.

"There is a path here." Nolla informs the others. She gestures towards the woods. "We could likely backtrack to find what did this to him, but I am not sure it is our problem just now. My vote is to continue on to look into the wolf situation..."
"please don't be cannibals.......please just be a beast and not something else........" Samael mutters to himself, not scared, but not happy to face whatever's out there. he continues with the party.
Thavriol pulls out his spade and begins digging a grave off to the side of the road. When he's finished, he gently searches the body for any items which might be used to identify the victim, putting anything he finds into his pouch. Then he studies the face for several moments, pulls out his charcoal pencil and one of his sheets of paper, and sketches the face. Not too different from putting a disguise on, he thinks, just need to draw it.
ooc: Not sure what to roll for this.
When he's satisfied, he puts the body in the grave, covers it, and says the words of Tyr's battlefield grave service over the body. Those two sentences done, he looks at the others. "Shall we go?"
((You made a good case for applying your disguise kit proficiency, so go ahead and roll Dex with proficiency. I'll take an investigation for the patdown too.))

Thavriol moves up towards the figure, carefully, but steadily. As he gets close, he activates his Divine Sense again.

"Are they alive?" Nolla asks, her bow in-hand, eyes scanning the area.
Perception: 10
Nothing untoward that Thavriol can detect, Nolla keeping a shifting eye on the surroundings, but not spotting anything out of the ordinary.
Thavriol can see that there was a crude attempt at perhaps cauterizing the wound, the flesh and ragged edge of the shirt a bit charred.

With no threat to be seen, Nolla moves around, checking the ground for any tracks of where this woodsman might have come from.
Survival: 14

(did that. says 14. is it visible to you?)
You can see them if you highlight the roll. It's happening to me too. The rolls are there just white, I guess.
