The group keeps going at a slow pace, though now slightly quicker as the ground is much firmer and less filled with bubbling sulfur tainted pools. As evening starts, the party arrives at where the "vultures" are to come up on a gruesome scene. Four humanoid bodies are staked out on what is an obvious road. Each one is staked to a cross as these birds that look very similar to vultures from Earth, peak and tear at what flesh they can reach. One body has already been torn down as half a dozen of them are swarming and pushing each other for the delicious flesh. The other three are in the process of being ripped at their arms and it's only a matter of time before they too fall to the ground to feed the birds. The smell is rather bad as the trees slow the wind and thus cause the stink to pile up in this area, though, thankfully, the road allows it to be moved on to the point it isn't horrible and retch inducing.
The most striking thing, however, is the fact that these poor souls are very human looking.
