The party arrive at Dipton Farm.

Discovery, Exploration

The party walks 20 minutes south to Dipton Farm, where they immediately see the front door has been broken down. They gather into a formation, with Heothun watching the road, Juniper sneaking up behind the shed, and the other three packing together and walking up to the home itself. Juniper hears voices speaking a foreign language inside the shed as two tribalistic men jump out and attack the party in a surprising display. Maeralya is shot with a poison arrow, and Ruben takes a jagged hand axe to the shoulder before Juniper launches an attack from her hidden position, killing one of the men in a single blow as the other runs away. Unable to properly give chase, the party decides instead to investigate the Dipton home. During this time, however, Cameo becomes fearful of the fallen man's corpse after inspecting his tattoos and takes some time to recover in the nearby farm field, later comforted by Juniper. Juniper then receives a magical message in her head as to another sighting of these people at the Tiller home, about 15 minutes down the road. The party finish up their tasks and immediately rushes over.

Inside the home, they discover that whoever lived here was likely stabbed in their bed, as blood trails lead from the bedroom to the kitchen, where they discover a bloodied knife next to some food. Heothun travels out the back of the house and finds two relatively big, disturbed piles of dirt. Assuming these to be the unmarked graves of the Diptons, he leaves the piles alone and begins to dig a grave out front for the fallen tribal man. Besides the above, the party does not find much of value in this home, however.
