Skirting under the treeline near Mahe, Donner assembles his dogs in a small circle around him. Giving Grizzle a good tussle around the ears he says to the dog "now you don't be goin' crazy over any flying thing; the rest of ya, keep yer flappin' ears open for anything creeping from the forests." Resting his lance across his lap and resting the shield within easy reach, he preps the crossbow to fire once again, grumbling about the inadequacies of ranged combat and being unable to feel the grunt of his opponent as his weapon drives itself into their flesh.

Over the eaves of the trees you see Dreadwing fly in a high circle above the clearing. It doesnt look like he has seen you yet, but you do see him signal something with his hands while looking at a spot some where to the south of you. As three pine folk break through the edge of the glade, Dreadwing circles low over them. The three tree folk do not look like healthy specimens of their type. Even from here you can see their twisted nature, the leaves of their hair hang limply looking more like rotting vegetation and their limbs are emaciated.
[ooc: give me a day to put together their stats and combat will begin with my next post. until then here are a couple of nice pics to enjoy:
Gravven Dreadwing (in the back)

Ian bumps his toe on a root while watching the Dreadwing approach like an ominous shadow over the forest.

Gespath watches as the enemy descend, cursing not having loaded up with a more offensive armory of spells for the day.
In the morning, but right now I am stuck without a cursed effective spell. Stay hidden, stay low and go into battle when it looks survivable!

Dreadwing and the three volodni stop over the corpse of one of the bears. One of the volodni bends down placing his hand on the bear, while the other 2 scan the trees around the area. Dreadwing drops to the ground, peering at the foot prints on the floor of the clearing. He says to the others, "They may still be here, these tracks are not very old." Just then one of the volodni who had been keeping watch points in the direction of Taneth and Sadet, spotting the horse through the trees.
Having already activated her ring Dara is ready to spring. The party is spread out over the eastern eaves behind the menhir. Dara and Mahe are withing charging range as is Donner given Grizzle's speed. The others are perhaps 70 feet away, easily within bow and spell range. Only one of the volodni will act during the surprise round.

Dara Dragondaughter - HP 35/35 AC 15(17) Atk +6 (2d6+12[+2FE][+2d6SA], 19-20/x2)
Dara charges the group without hesitation, as soon as she sees an opening. She tries to reach Dreadwing, but if she cannot, she'll attack one of the Volodnis instead, which is nearest to her, sweeping low, trying to knock her opponent to the ground.
OOC: Charge. Trip attack -> Dreadwing or Volodni (unless they are huge or something
) (+6 touch attack, no AoO, Str check with +7, follow-up attack as above, if successful (her target then has -4 AC for being prone and probably no Dex bonus to AC since it is still flat-footed from the surprise round)). Power Attack 4.

Watching from the trees, Gespath readies his dagge.
Just be ready. When they are all engaged moved in, don't make yourself a target, the others are far more likely to be able to handle this physical stuff than you!

Ian once again flexes his mind, willing thick strands of ectoplasm to cover the dreadwing in an impenetrable cocoon.
