[Story Progression] 1.1: The Vanished

This large building is durably built in a log cabin–style construction with a thatched pitched roof and three gables. Its several open windows are uncovered, and the sole entrance on the east side of the building is bereft of a door. A small porch covered by a gable shelters this door, though the porch has not been swept and dirt and dust have started to accumulate, while one end of the gable is starting to sag from neglect.
 
Eko will percept to check for traps or hazards on the porch. If it appears safe he'll step to just outside the door and do three rounds of detect magic into the building.

The interior of this building suggests a modest place of worship—not quite a temple but more than a mere shrine. A table near the center of the west wall appears to serve as an altar, draped in a white but dusty cloth. Behind the table, a large wood carving of a humanoid figure with a stag’s head leans against the wall. Two rows of benches face the altar, although some have been knocked over and two piles of ashes are visible in the aisle between them. Scattered throughout the room are assorted objects related to public worship, such as a chalice and a ceremonial rod. An ornately carved longbow hangs on the wall near the altar, as if on display. Against the north wall is a smaller shrine. Nearby is a wooden statue roughly three feet tall that depicts a male half-human and half-avian creature. One carved wing hangs partially broken from the statue.

Eko's Detect Magic: 1 weak universal aura coming from the alter; 1 weak evocation aura coming from the ornately carved longbow on the wall behind the alter
 
Kiryu will hand off the shield, then go into the building to help with the search.

He will use detect magic and try to identify the sources of the magic.

Eko sees Maura looking at the wing with a confused expression and wonders what has her so confused.

He looks at the wing too.

Variel will also approach and see what everyone's looking at.

What's so interesting?

You guys looking around notice quite a lot of damage, it appears as though a fight has taken place here. The wing is broken off from the part humanoid statue. You will also notice a trail of blood on the ground. Survival to follow the blood trail, knowledge religion to learn more about both statues.

Variel and Kiryu: Together you guys examine the alter and longbow. You note that the Statue with the antlers is of Erastil. With that knowledge you determine that the longbow is actually a, Holy Reliquary of Erastil (counts as a Holy Symbol of Erastil). This Longbow is a +1 Composite (2 STR) Holy Reliquary Longbow of Erastil.

The alter is a little different, while examining it you note the magic has similarities to a haunt. Though the magical aura indicates a magical person. You believe the spirit of a person is forming a haunt, that could manifest at the alter. The haunt is not fully in place yet. You are unable to determine the exact source of the haunt or how to prevent it.

Eko ponders the blood trail

No, but someone passing a survival to examine the blood trail would be insightful. As a side note, once a haunt is fully manifested you usually have to perform a specific task to "settle the spirit(s)", that is relevant to their manner of death.

I just don't know what to make of this all. Why don't we take a look around the grounds and then head south to the village?
 
Should we kill that swarm first? Someone had to deal with it at some point, and I have alchemist fire.
