Artemus, you hear the creaking of wagon wheels through the portal...as well as a broad and gravelly voice saying in Common, "Master! There is peoples in that wagon!"
Another voice, more human, farther away, yells: "Faraugar! The wagon!"
I say under my breath, "Oh, . What is it about 'wait for my signal' that these people can't understand?"
I'm moving around to the front of the portal, motioning to the druid to stay where he is. Then I motion to Dalabrac to cut at the tarp on the edges of the portal.
OOC: Okay, I'm waiting for Tom to tell us the initiative order. In the meantime, I refer all druids to the story hour. It does us no good to gain the caravan if we lose our senses.
