"Looks like they were dragged away! #$*$*!!" Kuublu flies into a non-princely, commoner swearing fit for a while. It has been troublesome as it is and to lose more innocents to some predator...
Kuublu will investigate, see if there are recognizable predator paw marks or any indication what carried them away. Perhaps it is time to 'find food', and with luck those two will still be alive...
Any indication that it would be worth while to track the predator? If not, Kuublu will consider somehow covering himself in blood and seeing if 'something' will try to carry him off the next night..
Kuublu notes there are no paw prints....if the slide mark is that of a serpent it is one of truly immense size....

Jaafan remembered stories of ghosts stealing people from camps in the night, but ghosts would not leave drag marks. Combine that with the disappearance of the drag marks in the scrub, and Jaafan suspects a snake of some kind. He rushes to where the drag marks end and quickly tries to climb the nearest tree, saying his prayer for forgiveness as he does so instead of before. Perhaps the creature that took the two might still be near enough to spot in the early morning light, or perhaps it was in the very trees he was climbing in to!
Jaafan scans the area as best he can as the morning rain begins to fall through the canopy, he notes no obvious signs nearby....though perhaps further out....or is it better to move on before more are lost to the Forest of Storms....
