He asks with obvious confusion. As light is fading fast, and you are without low-light vision to begin with, you are at a severe disadvantage to spot anything in the sky. Your listen check reveals the voices of the slavers and the katanese warriors from the other camp who move just within 30 ft of you and the Keu.   Slaver 1: -Speaking common in a rude tone- "What new disturbance is this?! Keep your troubles away from our camp tin-man!."  Slaver 2: -Also speaking common rudely- "My partner speaks truth. Do not ask us for healing!"  Alic: Kneels beside the Keu meanwhile and pulls a dagger to cut the net before he shouts back at the slavers. "Begone than if you have no assistance to offer!" (Spot Check: = 17, Success, is not caught flat-footed)Alic suddenly ducks as a Vul hunter dives and claws at his neck with its talons!Vul Hunter: (Hide Check: = 14)(Dive Attack with Talons: = 19. Hit)(Location: Shoulder)(Damage: = 6) Alic roars with pain as the Vul's talons narrowly miss his throat, leaving a deep scar through his armor and a jagged tear in his shoulder! The Vul shrieks loudly with a frustrated tone, as though disappointed it didn't kill the dwarf outright, and quickly soars back up into the air over the heads of the slavers who quickly dive for cover. One of the katanese warriors however (wielding a longspear) instinctively strikes at the Vul attempting to defend himself! Katanese Warrior: (Jab with longspear: = 8, Miss)  Having been taken by surprise Kryslogious you could not react to help Alic, but you are able to at least get a good glimpse of the creature who wounded him. You know instinctively this must be one of those winged beings who rule Vulkh that Alic warned you about earlier.The Vul roughly resembles a large bipedal vulture with arms in addition to its wings. It would stand between 6-8 feet tall with a head and neck covered by tough mottled hide lacking feathers. Rough, armored scales covers its lower arms and legs that end in four talon-ed fingers and toes. Its wingspan is about thrice its height with large hooked grasping claws at the elbows of its wings.Its bony skull features a singular large nostril opening while it's beaks appears very sharp and powerful. Its hide and feathers are drab earthy shades well suited for camouflage. Perhaps most raptor-like about the Vul are its eyes which reflect the dim light of your campfire brightly with an eerie glow. You also note it wears hide vest of some sort and has several pouches on its person in addition to a bone-handled knife on its belt. In its hands it grasps a long spear which should easily do much more damage than its talons, fortunately for Alic that it didn't do so. [Wrenwill: You, Malic and Ordechai hear Alics shout and glimpse the Vul hunters attack. Kryslogious & Wrenwil: What do you do? Neither of you can target the Vul with a ranged weapon so long as it remains aloft without low light vision.]  </blockquote>
