Seeing that his fears once more are confirmed, Frandal continues towards the house, ready to fire at the first sign of an enemy, hoping that his friends are following him.
Arissa (and all others who continue down the path after Frandal): The path, which winds through an old growth of cedar trees, is just wide enough for your horse. Just as you are near enough to make out the roofline of Oda's cottage, you see a wight's corpse lying across the path approximately thirty feet in front of you.
(Let me know if you inspect this corpse in any way).
As you approach the front of the cottage, you see two more slain wights. One, in a rather grotesque, twisted pose, lies in a bed of flowers. The other is face down in a nearby pumpkin patch. The only sign of life is the sound of some chickens that are softly clucking in the coop on the north side of the cottage. The cottage itself is completely dark and silent.
Frandal jumps off the horse and goes directly to the entrance of the cottage. He stops for a second at the door and tries to listen something and see something in the interior before saying:
"Oda? Oda WayWocket? We've come to help..."
The eagle takes an upward current of air and takes some distance looking for movement that could indicate that there are someone near.
Kurt follows Frandals lead.Drawing his scimitar and his new shortsword Kurt stops at the other side of the door as Frandal shouts "Oda? Oda WayWocket? We've come to help..."
There is no response. Oda's cottage is completely silent.
Frandal:
Celebquesse communicates to you that she sees the remains of another creature in the woods: some sort of large skeleton creature lies one hundred feet to the east of the cottage.
"There is another creature lying one hundred feet from here. Someone should check it while others check inside. What do you say?"He asks to the others.
"I think we should all secure Oda's safety first. Dealing with hostiles like this means we should stick together." Ozum pauses at the door and thinks back to the wine cellar, "Does someone else want to go in first?"

Immediately after Arissa opens the door, the sound of a female voice reaches your ears. "Pursuing and hunting other undead monsters. Recent events point to Grimshard as their source. Please inform the Windhovers. And please feed my chickens. Oda." Upon entering the little cottage (which is barely tall enough for human-sized folk), you can tell that the Magic Mouth spell has been cast upon a little mechanical mouse that sits on a table near the front door.
“That’s reassuring I guess “ says Frandal “ Here is what I think. We should track her and help her. If she is leaving a trail of undeades like that big one there, should ne easy enough “ he says trying to make fun to relieve the tension. He thinks for a few moments while starting to walk around the cottage in the direction of the big skeleton and his familiar.
“Do you think the horses could take it? We’ve pushing them all the day, perhaps could be better to let them rest here.”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Well, seems this one gave a good fight. I wonder what Grimshard is? And something feels quite off, still." Arissa goes to find some chicken food and feeds the chickens.

Frandal: As you approach the large skeletal corpse lying east of the cottage, you immediately understand what created the hoof prints on the trail. The corpse is that of a Minotaur Skeleton. Next to it lies a giant two-handed axe.
Arissa:
You recall seeing Grimshard on the map of Syndaris. (That's why you made the History check, right?)

"I also think the tavern would be the place to start. We should also let them know to fed her chickens." Ozum lets out a grunt trying to pick up the giant ax.

Frandal gives the greatax to Ozum
"Shouldn't we check if she is still on this island? Perhaps we can catch up with her and join her in the investigation."
