The company file back into the lobby, although it is not really large enough for everyone present. Those first to arrive note the front door is still ajar and there is a dead wolf on the ground.

Beyond the abbey door, the day seems strangely brighter than it did within the desolate gardens, even though the afternoon is beginning to wane.

There is no sign of Graven the dwarf or of Envongr the fighter.

Desmond peeks out the abbey door and looks around, hoping to see the two missing companions skulking about outside.

The two-headed halfling is first to peer outside and see no sign of Graven and Envongr (who aught to be encamped upon the hill side with the mules and supplies, some hundred or so yards that way). Perhaps they are remaining wisely out of sight behind the lee of a hillock?

On the other hand, Mondes spots a rather disturbing mess about 20 yards from the door. It looks like a pile of offal from a butcher's floor. Now, that wasn't there on the way in, he's sure.

"Oh, no..."

Josiane begins to move towards the ominous-looking remains, although her approach is cautious, sword drawn and shield up, scanning the surrounding area for any sign of danger.

"Dorgan, please guard my back," she whispers to her Dwarven friend...

Dorgan shakes his head at Josiane.

"Right beside ya, Miss."

He walks up to the pile of offal.

"If that's what I think it is, or who, then we gotta make haste to the base camp."

Josiane and Dorgan make their way to the remains, wary of any danger.

But the surrounds are quiet; almost serene. It is quickly apparent that the bloody mess before them is all that is left of Envongr. He appears to have been ripped apart by wolves. Not a nice way to go by any stretch of the imagination...

Wen would scan the hill side hoping to make out signs of life. "Seems we failed them, while we drove off the wolves they found poor Envongr. But what of the Dwarf, and what of the Mule? Too much death surrounds this cursed place.

Wen would remember Envongr's friend and look towards any near by trees, hoping the Owl had the good sense to escape. He would hoot like an Owl in hopes of attracting the poor things attention.

He then turns to follow Wen and Desmond across the courtyard towards the front gate. On the way he approaches Ulric and, in conspiratorial tones, suggests the possibility of soliciting the pearly globe for occult guidance. "Master Wizard, what are your thought on this matter? Surely the artifact is of great value, yet €” to my knowledge, scrying is an arcane, not priestly endeavor. I confess to dubiety!"
"Indeed Armando, it is not a devise typical of religious orders," Ulric says to Armando.

Ulric then changes his tone so that those around him may hear.

"The globe is a means of communicating with others with similar devices. In this way people leagues apart may speak to one another as if they were in the same room. It is said that some even allow contact with other worlds."

"I can provide you with cover from here in case the wolves are out there waiting. I can also blast any foes that emerge from that passage while we wait," Ulric points toward the northern passage.
