Renier, Ragnar, Coenwulf
On the small island that has been created by the flooded woods Ragnar spies a thin man watching them from the shadow of a tree.
Dagobert, Leufroy, Adele, Rashad, Shadi
Its not as obvious as Shadi had expected, but Dagobert's keen hunting sense finds signs of horse tracks on the path. Most interestingly for the last five yards or so of the path before it emerges onto the road it looks as if the earth has been churned and carefully repaired. It is not a stretch to assume that a knight charged out from this position and then hid his tracks.
After perhaps a mile, on a large branch that extends over the path, a magnificent falcon sits and watches them with a strange intensity. It flies off to the north with a screech as they reach it.
Not much further along they begin to hear music and at another turn in the path they come to a wide clearing with a small hill. A gentle stream flows beside the hill and atop it is a richly appointed pavilion.
There are no horses present and the music comes from within.
Rosamund
The goblin's voice is like if a rat could talk and its happy to recount how they built the dam to dry up the stream and eventually flood the village below. While they were waiting for enough water to build up they got bored and figured they would harass the hermit and try to starve the nutons.
"They got good houses. Once they leave we has them instead."
