Doctor ambushed after discovering violence

The dead fox lies sprawled on the dirt floor of Wolnoth’s hut, its limp body serving as a grim clue to the recent violence that unfolded within the confined space. The Doctor immediately notices the fox, linking its presence to a struggle or failed hunt. The fox’s condition—likely killed by the discarded longbow—hints at a botched attempt to secure food or defend against a threat, adding to the hut’s atmosphere of unease and foreshadowing the ambush that awaits the Doctor outside.

Before: Lying motionless on the dirt floor of Wolnoth’s hut, its body still warm and fresh, indicating it was killed recently.
