Human blood, Stromath confirmed in private to His after they'd all doubled-back to check the liquid.
K'en was still just perturbed by the sound of the moan. Someone was obviously in need of dire help. He quickened his pace to go after F'itz once more.

Kindra jumped when the moan sounded... from somewhere close, it was softer, not like the wailing that had her sitting upright in bed earlier. She turned and looked around, noticing that Brynja had noticed something. Blood! and it was smeared too like something had dragged it along. She'd ignored the earlier signs when the whers had noted human blood on the knife but now it was obvious Kindra began to feel a little less angry, maybe this someone was hurt... did the moans sound like ones of pain? She wasn't sure as she'd never really heard them before. She'd not been allowed near when her mother had been in labour so she wasn't sure. "Maybe someone's hurt?" she whispered, whoever close by being able to hear her.

"Hey! Hey, wait" Brynja had called out - she had nearly stepped in the small dark wetness, and only Larth's grabbing of the sleeve of her nightshirt had stopped her from doing so. The sight of the pool made her feel kind of a little sick - this wasn't a story or a game anymore, this was definitely, definitely real, and that was probably a person bleeding, honest to goodness. Not to mention how much of it there was - could people lose that much and be alright? "There's something here - I think it's blood!"
Larth said, tugging at the section of her sleeve he had in his jaws to pull her back. She took a step backwards, looking a little pale now. Larth was immediately attentive and reassuring, shoving his large blocky head up under her arm so it now looped around his neck and making 'reassuring' comments like 'it's not that much, really, definitely isn't'.

There is blood on the floor, Dezimine. Microth had peered around Larth to get a look while Dezima stood on the other side of the blue and Brynja. Blood? More of it... the werybrat felt a shiver go down her spine. Just in time to nearly have a hear attack when the moan pierced the air. Microth's tail flicked back and forth and she leaned heavily against Dezima's side as the two stuck close to one another as well as their friends and roommates.

Hey, more of the human blood! Like on the knife! Dinahsk clicked happily about the comparison after sniffing at it, turning to Nyossk with a trill. And the moaning, this time louder. They were close! The young wher would wait for Nyossk to head after it, because that was what her handler wanted, but it was hard to be patient!
Dinah did little but frown, hiding away her worry. That was a fair amount of blood.

A thought suddenly occurred to Dezima as they walked along the silent halls of the weyr in pursuit of their mystery individual. Why hadn't there been another moan? The last one, the one that had come to them at the blood pool, had been loud. They should have heard it by now, unless the source of the sound was losing strength and moaning more softly than they could hear when they were moving. What if they missed passed by the right hallway, as they had almost done?
Dezima snagged Brynja's attention first, but eventually convinced everyone to stop moving-- quite a feat considering the personalities of some of the people in the group. Maybe her earnestness convinced them, or maybe once she convinced F'itz that was enough for the rest to heed her. The group stood in silence for a moment, hushed by Dezima, and then, suddenly, a moan-- more pained, more insistent-- split the silence.
It wasn't as Dezima had thought, the moans being to quiet to hear, but the moan did prove another point. The moans weren't just for show; they were definitely leading the group onward, falling silent as the group moved and sounding only when the group stopped to investigate a clue or, in this case, test Dezima's theory.
((AND NOW-- quite sadly but also with a thrill of excitement-- ROLL YOUR LAST D100!!!!))

Kindra decided to allow others to lead right now, she hung back and heard another moan after Dezima made everyone stop. Were the moans leading the group towards whatever was making them? Well that was unusual, maybe someone WAS hurt.

Brynja and Larth were listening intently, her mouth stopped up - she trusted Dezima and Microth, and it was a good idea (one she regretted not having herself - it really just hadn't occurred to her). Her arm was still looped around Larth's withers, worry engraved harshly in her young features. It was very, very weird that they only sounded when they stopped... and kind of made her wonder if someone was, after all was said and done, playing some sort of elaborate joke on them. Was there a mole in the group feeding on what they were doing?
Larth said briskly, turning his head from side to side to try and work out the direction. Where was it coming from...? Over there? Or there? Surely he and his were the sharpest of hearing here, and should be able to work it out, because they were the best.
Brynja said uncertainly. If it was a joke, it wasn't the sort that it was nice to play on other people. Surely someone could have gone for a traditional apple-pie bed or bucket of water over the doorway?

That was... odd. Why did the moaning only return when they stopped? He was pretty sure he hadn't heard anything while they were moving... was it an odd coincidence, or intentional then? And if intentional, how could the person behind them possibly tell whenever they had stopped? This was all still rather confusing.

Dinah was going to hear moans in her sleep later, she just knew it. While they were creepy, it was also aggravating! Why would someone be wandering around the Weyr bleeding and moaning about it? If they were trying to escape, surely they wouldn't be so sharding loud about it, and if they wanted to be found, why would they keep moving?
"Come on already, can't you do anything but moan?" the handler complained loudly.

Were they being led into a trap? It seemed the only way to find out was to move onward, and hope the jaws of it didn't close around them. Shells, he would so much rather he was still in bed asleep. "Whatever or whoever it is," F'itz muttered, "you're right; it's calling to us.... We should press on. Carefully." Very carefully.

Nyosh headed eagerly for the moans. So close! When blood was spotted again, she went with Nyossk to make sure it was human. Nyossk conferred quickly with Dinahsk and responded affirmative.

K'en's confusion was about to be compacted-- or eased. As the group moved on, careful but still quick, his hand brushed alongside something sticky on the wall and drew him to a halt as he fought the urge to instantly wipe it off. With a lift of his glow close to the smear-- born out of the fear that it was more human blood he had touched-- it was revealed that this still-wet smear on the wall and now his hand was not human blood at all, but a green liquid.

What in the-- Aaaaaargh. He had to push down a shiver at the wet sticky fluid on his hand. When he shined his glow on it to investigate, he was surprised to find not red human blood, but instead a green substance. ... Dragon's blood? Wher blood? Flit blood? Something else? ... Ugh. Must. Not. Wipe. On. Clothes. He was going to be walking a bit further from the walls now... "There's a green substances here..." Perhaps one of the whers could identify it.

Kindra recoiled from K'en when he moved his glow over his hand.."What IS that?! .. ichor?" she said aloud, her hand twitching on the knife in her pocket. "That's not good is it?" she stated rather than asked. As much as she'd been annoyed by the wherhandlers a short while ago... she had to appreciate their noses and she hoped that they'd be able to pinpoint what that .....stuff was on K'en's hand.... no WAY was she going to be clinging to him now. She backed off, leaning into N'mol a little, only half intentionally too.
Suunath by now had gotten tired of trying to find Kindra and had gone back to her own weyr, sticking her head into Kheth's to make sure her Twin was alright, her and Isley appeared to be fast asleep so Suunath left them to and, settling down in her sandy depression that was her bed before sending VERY colorful annoyances at Kindra.
