Flame pulled herself together and spoke.
"We'll leave the body here. The cold will freeze it and it will be preserved. No need pointlessly exerting ourselves."
She pulled a thin burlap blanket from the inside of her jacket. She wrapped the corpse gently laying it down next to the tree.
"Let's keep going, we need to get to the summit before noon."
She turned trudged up the path leaving the body where it lay.

""I feel I should apologize for what's happened here... some of my employees took things too far."

Solemnly, the group formed up behind her. There was little to say, but their eyes were open. Each one watched the immediate area for other signs of activity, or footsteps if they were lucky enough.
Or unlucky.

(I'm back! Sorry for the wait.)(Also happy Greenskeeper Gathering)
The atmosphere was very still now. The only sound on the trail came from the footsteps and breathing of the four dragons. They made good time getting to the top of the mountain. However the view from the top wasn't optimal, as a very light snow had begun to fall, limiting their view to a few miles. Flame scanned the horizon looking mildly irritated but not upset.
"I was hoping that the weather would hold out, but It could be worse."
She turned scanning the horizon. Finally stopping facing a easterly direction.
"The Cloudscrape Craigs are just a few miles off in that direction. Funnily enough I've heard stories that roughly a decade ago there was a murder spree deep in the mountain range. I heard it was a Wendigo that was at cause. That's my hunch for what is causing this murder spree. Any of you three know what a Wendigo is?"

The trio of dragons stood staring out at the horizon. Their eyes were trained on the looming dark shape of the Crags.
"Don't suppose you mean the animal . . ." suggested Rohn nervously.
"A myth," grumbled Iratha. "To warn travelers against going into the mountains unprepared-"
Misery, who had been silent for most of the journey, looked up. "A monster," she hissed. "Not something mythical, something very real. But not quite in the same way as the legends say."

Flame shuddered and pulled her coat tighter around her.
"Windigo's are, or at least were, dragons who have committed the worst act imaginable. Once the act is committed, they have fore-fitted the right to morality. Scientists who have observed it claim it is brought on by a case of psychosis. But, as you can see, psychosis doesn't explain this. But that's just a legend. We need to go."
She turned and walked down the trail.

The trio frowned, but followed after.
"Magic can do strange things," said the guardian, concern creeping in her voice. "But I'm sure we'll find a way to end this . . . Whatever it is."
"Hey," interjected Rohn. "That mine, where did you say it was from here?" They seemed to be on the tallest point in the immediate area.

"The mine is directly south of us. There."
She pointed out across the valley at a mountain. It had an odd rock formation that looked like the result of a landslide but the result was a light gray.
"Do you see those off colored formations of light colored rock halfway up that mountain? Those are the mine tailings. It the rock they pulled from the mine and dumped down the mountain. At the top of that you can see the old oar refinery."
