Everyone is quickly and quietly roused from sleep. Glimpses of the creature are seen by all as it appears to be moving closer to the camp. Still, it is little more than a shadow on a black background.
As weapons are readied, the creature steps out of the tree's shadows for a moment. Moonlight glints off its feral eyes...and curved horns. The creature lets out a low, throaty growl.
Everyone is completely caught off-guard when Danwyn is slammed in the back by another creature. Pain explodes through his chest and he struggles to regain his breath. In the commotion, the first creature begins to charge into the fray. (Everyone failed listen checks against the sneak attack. Attack roll 20, hit; dmg 9hp)
At close quarters, in the dim moonlight, the creatures appear to be a twisted blend of mountain lion and ram. They are powerfully built creatures with large, twisted horns and mouthfuls of glistening fangs.
