The Black Citadel

After some time, the path rises up to a small hill. Below you at the foot of the hill on the other side you can see, what looks like to be a stone quarry. Further on you see a black river, a large clearing on the other side, and paths heading off deep into the east of Darkwood. You move down into the quarry which is shrewn with rocks, boulders and broken pike heads.

Arched backwards over a large boulder is what appears to be a body. You chase the small black vultures away, walk closer and realise it's the body of a women, dead for a few days now. Her broken hunting bow and arrows lie at her feet. A small rusty looking short sword is sticking out of her chest. Her face, probably once beautiful is now frozen with her last agonising scream. You walk around her and discover, half buried under a rock, a small brown pouch with the name Charl on it. The path continues to the north east from here. What will you do?
