Because they arrived at sunrise the companions were easily able to locate the two outer stones of Voltarr's vision. But there were no robed figures and no visible curiosities. The two stones framed by the rising orb were examined carefully. They were covered in carvings. Some looked like the symbols daubed in Sutsavanica. The remainder looked like depictions of bizarre humanoid creatures with strange heads, misshaped limbs and smaller figures bowed down in front of each.
After studying these for hours, the group went back into the inner circle looking for tracks. Hamec finally found tracks of three figures moving from east to west and then turning north-east and heading into the forest.
Voltarr searched the inner circle and detected an attempt to hide freshly disturbed earth close to one of the stones. After careful excavation they found several curious items but neither of those in Gorran's vision.
- A 'doll' or effigy made with yellow stalks of wheat still with ripe autumn grains.
- Three porcelain cups, one with a blue pattern, all with oily marks near the handles.
- A bronze shovel for coals or ash
- Four wolves teeth, possibly from two animals
- An empty crystal vial with a matching stopper
