A marauding dragon has laid waste to numerous villages, devouring some residents while displacing others. It strikes without mercy. No one knows where it came from, where it lairs, or how long it intends to terrorize the realm.
But there is hope. Long ago, a werewolf knight of great valor used her wealth to raise a bastion at the edge of the wilderness. This castle had the power to generate a lightning shield around itself—a shield powerful enough to break sieges and keep monsters at bay. The castle was abandoned shortly after the knight passed away. By then, peace had settled across the land, making the stronghold unnecessary.
Villagers displaced by the dragon ask you to travel to Lightning Keep and rid it of any threats. Rumor has it the lightning shield is powered by six magical lightning rods. If you can find these rods, perhaps the lightning shield could be reactivated, allowing refugees fleeing the dragon to use the keep as a sanctuary.

It's been mostly uneventful as the group heads towards the Lightning Keep with its mission ahead. Here and there a large shadow passes overhead only to turn out benign. Squirrels moving large branches. Birds ahead. There a peaceful quiet as you travel through the woods along the path. In the distance you can see the Keep. It seems you're almost there, perhaps another 20 minutes, as the midday sun shines through the leaves of the forest.
As you continue your journey you come across a clearing in the woods, but something feels off. Branches lay around broken off. The leaves of a fallen tree are still green though wilting. In the middle of this clearing you can see the carcasses of three deer. By now most of the meat is gone and some bones are strewn around the ground, cracked off. There's a dead quiet in the air.

Together, Kpp'ar and Kyren are able to get a good grasp of the clearing. The find various tracks that could perhaps be further investigated with survival and can see the damage seems to be limited to the clearing in particular.
They also get a whiff of some medium*-sized animals in the distance approaching the clearing. Laying low to the ground and making use of the foliage for cover.
