Not long after the undead retreated, Old Walker finally found a new clue.
"They left a trace!"
Old Walker and Sereck became excited once they saw a strange marking engraved on a nearby tree trunk.
"They're nearby… I think they should be over there!"

A messy trail of footprints also revealed that there was some human activity though it was evident that something wasn't right.
"Let's go."
