The man takes a quick look around at the others, then looks at the man who had came with him through the portal. With a quick handed action he pointed to his retainer and moved towards him, "Stay still Tolen," and moved in close to him. He put his hand on the man's bow, making eye contact with him and nodding curtly- as if he did not want the man to lower his weapon. He spoke clearly, "Let me attend your wounds.", then dropped his voice "eyes open. Going through a stampede with a man does not make him your friend- we know nothing of these ruffians, they may be bandits." Then he looked over the bruises and scrapes as best he could.

Ceillen, as soon as he has recovered some strength, makes a quick check-up. Then he says to his friends :
"Those beasts should show more consideration to a poor shaman... Anyway, if any of you has received a serious injury, I have a way to heal him quickly. I may not be able to do it, but I am willing to try anyway."

It begins to mist at first and then it begins to rain.

Faimden
The warrior with noble bearing turned towards the nearest of those who had already assembled here as the mist started. "Is there shelter nearby,", he asked as he scanned around, trying to take stock of the others. Then the mist turned abruptly to rain.

Thorite
"There is nothing but grass in the immediate vicinity.  Give me a few minutes and I can try and create some shelter but can't guarantee succes."
Thorite gets out his pouch of components again and starts concentrating.

[samwise7]

A structure appears that looks like it can possible shelter most of you.  It will be tight however.

[Fidoric]

I feel like this cold water will act as a soothing balm for my burning bruises. I suggest that you warriors use the shelter to recover your strength as soon as possible in case it would be needed.

Oh, and for our most welcome newcomers, I am Ceillen, formerly shaman for my tribe, and now as lost here as everybody.

In the distance the shaman sees two of the lumbering creatures that are lying on the ground thrashing.  He thinks that if given time the creatures will die and they will have plenty of meat to eat... if it is edible that is.

[Fidoric]

Gentlemen, we have to good actions to accomplish over there. We can both accompany the souls of those poor dying creatures and potentially get our bellies full of meat. Anyone here is wiling to give Aldor and I a hand ?

[Sunwolf]

Thorite
"It would be shameful to not properly utilize the bounty of Nature."
Thorite joins the team recovering the meat.

[samwise7]

Those who wish to do so aid in the butchering of the animal.  The meat does seem to be edible and there is plenty of it.  The long process of gutting and cutting up the meat begins.  It takes roughly 4 hours to cut just the first animal up.

Ewyn, after he completes rounding up the scattered mounts, enters the shelter and tries to find a semi-quiet corner to get a little bit of sleep.

[samwise7]

The group sets up a camp, posts watches, and the night goes by uneventfully in peace and quiet.

The last member that was on watch (Ewyn) sees that all around your campsite there are hundreds of long and short furry creatures that are crawling through the grass towards your general direction.  Ewyn sees their heads popping up above the tall grass from time to time.  They look strangely intelligent and he thinks they are communicating with each other, for he sees them and barely hears their... words?

[imported_Rasyr]

Ewyn starts waking up the others as he sees these creatures approaching. He keeps his eyes on the creatures, while nudging the others with his feet (for any who are nearby) and then telling them, "Wake the others, we have company coming!"

[samwise7]

A chant begins coming from their mouths.

"Anglatha sooyamma boggotha... Anglatha sooyamma boggotha... Anglatha sooyamma boggotha..."
