There are a number of accomplished trackers among the Tribe of the Red Bear, and on your orders, they begin combing the woodland, looking for any clue as to the whereabouts of your missing tribespeople.
One tracker after another returns to you with nothing, and you're beginning to give up hope, when, as the sky darkens and the day turns into evening, the last of them returns. "I've found a trail," he says. "It goes through the woods and around the edge of the island, but eventually loops back on itself. It's faint, and it took me a while, but I've found out where they're going."
"Where?" you ask.
He points at Muyal's tower, where the beacon burns brightly in the night. "There."
