The ranger hummed to himself contentedly as he maneuvered around the snow covered land. He had opted to scout ahead of the party and be the one to relay any significant information he came across. It was rather lonely to be honest, but that didn't mean that Oscar was not enjoying himself as he moved across the hills. It was just him and nature. Things were pretty alright.

That is until he stumbled upon something that caused a chill to run down his spine like no cold wind could ever hope to.

As he reached the peak of the tall hill, he discovered what remained of a caravan on the opposite foot of the hill. The broken remains of both man, animal, and cart were summat obscured by the snow. Likely from the snowstorm from last night. Stains from what he could only assume to be blood, had stained the pristine white of the snow with a number of recruits's unmoving bodies scattered about. At this distance, even he couldn't identify if any of them were still breathing or severely injured. Oscar took a step forward but stopped himself from moving any further. He wanted to help them; so much so that it almost physically hurt to turn back. But he was alone, and whatever caused this was still out there.

He couldn't risk it.

[color=orange]"Fuck..."[/color] He harshly whispered to himself, crouching down and holding the brim of his big hat to the point that his hands shook. The ranger had his duties to his party, and their safety and the success of the quest was paramount. Compared to the altruistic desire that begged him to do something to help, his responsibility to his party and quest was greater. Grimacing, Oscar stands from his crouching position and begins to run back to the group, not even daring to give a secondary look back to the tall hill. The feeling of frustration and shame grew each passing second and from every step he took. 

He did the right thing...right?
