Running into the burning kraal they looked around for survivors but found the place eerily silent save the crackling of flames, Chiemeka eventually located a mans body bisected at the waist. Kuublu found another with his neck broken and some large chunks missing from his torso and thighs.

They were only at the buildings closest to the roadway so far....

The trio moved through the burning village finding few bodies, Kuublu however noted a large number of tracks among the many human and goat prints on the dusty ground; tracks like those left by bustards but much larger...larger than both his feet together....and among them two sets of tracks even larger...similar to marabou stork prints....

Searching rear buildings a few other bodies were found, mostly adult males either cut in twain or ravaged by something hard and sharp......coming to the back of the village the entire kraal was pulled down and pieces of it were still attached to the thick liana ropes that had been used to do so.

Kuublu followed the tracks and found many human and goat prints heading out across the shattered acacia wall into the long grass towards the south.
