Re: To the Manor borne… (everyone)
Although the tracks are more than 24 hours old, Ascot can see signs that something has moved to and from the tree. He can’t however determine what type of creature left the tracks.

"Let's follow the tracks back to the beastie's lair," says Bonnie.

" Everyone on their guard, we have no idea what this creature maybe. Speak up if you notice anything that strikes you as 'off' no matter how insignificant it may seem."

The tracks lead in the direction of the house but were then lost on the hard surfaces like the paving slabs that surrounded it. Ascot picked up the trail again on the other side but then lost it as it disappeared into the trees that sat between the house and the village.

" I think thats a sound idea, getting a better understanding of our surroundings as well as looking for any signs of this creature is a good plan Ascot. Shall we split up to.cover the ground quicker?"

Re: To the Manor borne… (everyone)
"I agree," Bonnie says to Ascot. "Let's all stay together. We might regret it if the beastie attacks just two of us."

Re: To the Manor borne… (everyone)
Befitting the original purpose of the building, the windows were narrow, akin to arrow slots seen on castles. Moving around, anyone attempting to look inside could see very little because of the darkness inside. It wasn’t a particularly large building so it wasn’t long before they came across an old-fashioned wooden door that appeared to have broken drown some time ago.

Dr Douglas shrugs, cradles the shotgun and follows the others. He takes a close look at the door, to see if there are any signs of disturbance, and also see if there is any change to the plant life around the area.

Re: To the Manor borne… (everyone)
The weathering on the door suggested that it had been broken in some years before. There was nothing out of the ordinary about the weeds that grew through the cobbles around the entrance, except that one of two looked like they had been broken off recently, most likely caught by someone walking past.

" Look here Ascot." Pointing to the broken weeds, " Do you think these were broken recently or possibly by the deceased or the accused?"
Re: To the Manor borne… (everyone)
Ascot nods in interest. "Well spotted. Now, I believe it was seven days ago that the murder was discovered. I imagine the police would have come and gone a bit the next day, last Sunday. My only question is could this be more recent?"
"Shall we finish the full lap of the house then come back to here?"
Re: To the Manor borne… (everyone)
"Aye, let's," says Bonnie.

Re: To the Manor borne… (everyone)
A quick circuit of the house revealed a few more of the arrow-slit windows but no other ways inside.
Returning to the doorway and looking more closely at the weeds, it seems that whatever disturbed them, it wasn’t that recent as the breaks to the stems had had time to dry out.

Father Ó Shaban seemed to think for a moment and spoke while looking at the weeds and the talk about someone passing by recently.
"Gud fellows. Ze man brisoner forr ze murder slept in ze house. Ze brobability for zat man leaving his trrace is quite ze reasonable conclusion, yes?"
