[no problem Argent, understandable]
Felkhourn continues the perimeter check. She sees many new species of creatures, which are all smaller than the size of a small dog, and many new species of plants, some which seem alive. Larger equine or bovine type creatures (which are prominent back home) are missing from this natural place. However, given the foliage and the trees, it would be hard to imagine anything large living in this forest at all.
She comes back to where she believes the camp to have been only to find that there is no one there. In a moment of panic she glances around her rapidly, looking for signs of where her kin might have gone. Unfortunately, she does not see anything telling and soon, loses her bearings as she turns.
Soon, she hears what sound like a low, rumbling growl from nearby...and it doesn't sound friendly.

As the three of you look at the prints, Zyrial will point out key things about each print. The freshness of the booted track indicates that it was made less than half an hour ago at the least. Manzanita inquires why there is only one print and suggests that the other foot could have been placed on a tree or rock, but a quick examination of the nearby ground puts this theory to rest.
Ellar scratches his head and thinks to himself outloud. Zyrial picks up on what his cousin is saying and decides to check the track more closely for signs of deception. Sure enough, the ranger points out where a tree branch might have been used to cover up this track. A quick survey of the area leaves you all confused as you ponder this new information. There are no other tracks nor traces that other tracks have been covered.

Felkhourn stops in her tracks, eyes blinking. She readies an arrow with her bow. Although she loved beautiful plants and animals, she was never much fond of growling creatures. Her thoughts now sway on her cousins. "What have I gotten myself into..." she whispers, looking around the trees and plants that surround her.
Even though she was very skilled with the bow, Felkhourn has never been a smart hunter. The close growl reminded her of hunting advice that was given to her by her mother when she was a small child. "When you hear a growl, call the fowl." With that in mind, she made the loud sound of the beautiful forest fowl that could be found back home. Normally, this would bring her mother to her aid in short time, but like said, Felkhourn was not usually a smart hunter, and she forgot that she was not at home.
She did know the basics of the wilderness though: don't run from a predator. Felkhourn, with her arrow ready, waits cautiously.

"Margo might not be much use in that; she would have a hard time directing us to where she found her. Perhaps we should call?"
"Hmmm, " he continues, mumbling. "A one footed creature w/no other tracks around. I really have no idea...Eh? That bird call sounds familiar."

"By my father! She's in trouble. I knew it!" Zyrial runs toward the sound drawing his blade. "Arrow! Seek Felkhourn!" He yells into the air.

Ellar quickly casts shield upon himself and follows Zyrial.

At the birdcall, Felkhourn will hear a grunt from behind followed by a soft thud. A mere second later she is looking at a large, decorated spear in front of her, sticking out from the ground. She hears several soft thuds from various directions then silence. Then, as the silence becomes elongated, she will hear the roar of a great cat, which sounds mere steps behind her. She also hears the call of a falcon above her.
The loud birdcall was unmistakable. It clearly was the call of a illyrn, a small forest creature that is known for it’s shrill voice. The rest of the group runs at a great pace towards the direction of the call, but it is only once and soon you are using your best judgment to discover the direction. However, soon you hear the loud roar of a large cat coming from the same general direction as the birdcall. Arrow quickly responds in kind as Zyrial hears a clear call from the falcon, confirming the direction. This being the first sound you’ve heard from a native of this world, you can only conclude that this is the trouble that Felkhourn has gotten herself into. Quickly, you charge off into that direction, hoping you’ll be in time.
