Melchia takes all of this in, his face, as usual, inscrutable.

Melchia's untrained Search check is +3. He doesn't want to tarry long here, however, so a cursory search of the shelters is all he wants to do before proceeding. He'll suggest following the outward blood trail (the one going away from the camp.)
