You don't have to go very far. Not far from the village wall, you all seen a roughed-up goblin, quite badly bloodied, but alive, with a 10 foot trail of blood. Not far from the goblin you seen Naz'tog crouched, his intact hand touching the ground, as if looking for something, while his right has a blade attached. He turns his head and sees you:
"You! What do you think you are doing! Don't even try telling telling me your beasts are out of control!"
Is the blade of Naz'tog's right hand bloody or clean?
"Nonsense, what is it you look for? Let us work together and quell this threat, then you will show who is the strongest goblin," Serit says gruffly
Persuasion: 8
The blade is clean
"Isn't it obvious? I am looking for tracks or other signs of where whatever caused these injuries went."
"Gara, I believe your nose for such things would help in assisting Naz'tog."
Before i examine the tracks, i will check on the injured goblin, takeing some herbs to treat him and makeing sure that injuries are not dangerous.
Guidance+Medicin check: 16

Gara stabilises the goblin. Although the injuries look bad at first sight, the wounds are not very deep so no issues with recovering.
Once the goblin is looked after, Gara will take another pouch of powdered herbs and sprinkle a bit on the tracks and ground. He holds a blue glowing pebble over it and studies it.
Survival+Guidance: 23
Gara shakes his head in frustration.

"WhyDon'tGoblinLeaderBeWhoeverFiguresOutWhoDidThisAndKillsThem?" Moxo suggests halfheartedly.
Gara figures out that tracks are tracks, but very little else. Naz'tog meanwhile says:
"Those are some kind of beast tracks, but it's not clear what exactly. Let's ask that one, maybe he has seen it". he gives the injured goblin a poke and asks, "you there, wake up! What did you see?"
The goblin responds:
"I... don't know. Big thing, came from the side... only saw it out of my corner of the eye... jumped on my back... knocked me down... bit me... they jumped off somewhere..."
"Then it seems like we have a true hunt on our hands. Come, let us find this thing," Serit says as he looks around the area. The goblin mentioned the creature jumped away, is there any areas nearby that a thing could use as get away cover?
Perception: 5
Serit sees way too many possible cover locations, from houses to jumping back over the wall out of the village.
At an impasse Serit, still looking about, "Gara, what kind of wounds does he have? Are they like those alpha hyena's or something else?
"Whatever it is seems to be focused on terror otherwise this one would be dead. I cannot say I am unimpressed."
Did my earlier medicin check indicate what kind of creature we are looking for?
“We may need to split up and search for the beast individual. If you find it, keep your distance and call for help.“
Their are 4 of us here, so I go N, Serit S, Moxo E and Rohin W to look for any sighns/ tracks of the beast.

"That is fine. Naz'tog, come with me," Serit states.

Attack: [roll]3d20dl2+6[/roll] Damage: [roll](if([roll:-1:critical], =0, 1d8, 2{1d8}.expand()))+4[/roll] Sneakattack: [roll](if([roll:-2:critical], =0, 2d6, 2{2d6}.expand()))[/roll]From the injuries on the goblin, you can guess it's a large (similar to Jardor's alpha scavenger) four-legged canine-like creature. Which one, you are not sure.
Moxo seems to find some caked mud with a dark red tint, likely from goblin's blood on the claws. Aside from that, the paw prints are soft and not easily visible, indicating the creature is surpisingly light on its feet.
The tracks start going east, but then seem to loop around and go towards a wall, there they seem to disappear, but Moxo spots them even fainter going back inside the village and almost bumps heads with Naz'tog, who seems to be following the same tracks from a different spot.
You reach a dead end where the the tracks just stop. There is no sign of the creature backtracking. Nor do the paw prints fade, they just stop.
Naz'Tog exclaims "Where in the Abyss did it go? The tracks clearly lead here!"
