GOBLIN HORDE

You arrived in the Shadowfell by portal and traveled until the brief encounter with the Ancient Shadow Dragon and then traveled some more, lost the trail, got it back, and now are here. You would have a fairly good idea and could probably find it with the help of a Cartographer.

Pepin will move towards where they hear the boat to see if there is anything there besides the boat.

There is a similar boat in the same location as it would be on your home plane but it looks much older and weathered. The boat is empty except for a pair of oars.

"The boat looks empty an unused. Let's follow the trail while it is still 'hot'  - whatever that means in a place like this"

The cold, black waves continue to crash against the beach. (The trail ends at the beach. But you now know roughly where you are in relation to your home plane.)

Randall:

”The trail ends here, at least as far as I can follow it,” says Randall, “Wherever the mages are, they didn’t take this boat, and tracking them across the open sea is not within my capabilities.”

Randall coaxes the carpet higher, so that he can see a few miles out from shore—just in case there is a clue near to shore that can be seen with such a simple method.

"One other thing we can do is see what is at Laurentiis location at this plane. We should be able to find that from here." Pepin says.

You know it is just under a day and a half from here to get to where Laurentiis would be.
