Captain ordered investigation of the southeastern hedge wall.
Spoke with a blacksmith what plies his trade near the spot, name of Mister Burnwood. He said he'd been hearing odd noises at night, like someone moving around outside the hedge, maybe trying to get through. "Sounds like a big man or bigger animal."
I went outside the gate and inspected the hedge from the outside. Found a spot where it looked like something had been tearing at the hedge. Dirt all tore up. Fort gave the area a good sniffing and was quite put out by whatever he smelt. Didn't see nothing else, but it were broad daylight.
I told Mister Burnwood to come fetch me if'n it happened again. He didn't seem too comforted but said he would. I asked him if he had a good sword or axe or club, and he said he did.
I will make sure to give the southeast edge of town some extra walking for the next few nights.
