Inquisitor Marcos of Snowdale - 98/98
The trail of blood was a plain indication that some thing or person had been dragging remains along. That rather ruled out any incorporeal beings, unless of course they were dealing with more than one type of occupant. It also hinted at a basic level of cunning or intelligence, either from the entity in question or from its master.
That implied two things.
Firstly, that it might indeed be possible to communicate with this other. Secondly, that following the smears blindly might send them stumbling into a well-devised ambush or similar trap. The amount of blood and the downward plunge of the guards' morale was enough of a demonstration of this other's brutality in battle.
But for the moment, there was but one way to travel. The inquisitor continued on without a word, and turned the corner.
