Soon the others heard it too, and at a word from the heavy set warrior, they began to ready weapons both physical and magical. Over the few days the group had travelled together so far, Sir Angus' experience had quickly been evident to the newcomers, so they too followed his lead.Despite the heavy armour she still wore, the plain young woman nimbly negotiated the clutter of equipment and provisions around the fire as she traversed the campsite once more. She knelt beside the beast, now skittish, its breath coming in thick snorts which hung in the air, its eyes rolling wildly as it caught scent of the predators in the dark. Renya stroked its neck and leant close, blowing in one great ear, making low soothing sounds in an attempt to calm it.Handle Animal check<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2483223/" target="_blank">1d20+9=28</a>Satisfied that it wouldn't try to bolt, or thrash and injure itself, she returned to the area where she had spread her bedroll out, and retrieved her long-handled glaive from the ground. Carrying it in her left hand, she used her right to gently but firmly grip the scholar by the arm, and move him towards the centre of the camp. Her eyes sought out Sindri and Ragnor, and, planting the butt of the glaive in the ground so the weapon was cradled against her neck, her fingers began to flash quick hand signals to them - a few movements making symbols and shapes with her right hand, before pointing to her eyes and then towards the sky, then making a fist and moving it in a short arc before spreading the fingers wide, then a gesture in the direction of the scholar, a brief thumb towards herself, and another arc, this time with her left arm held horizontal.[sblock=Sign Language -  only if you can understand it!]'We can't see far in the torchlight''Do you have a way of lighting up a larger area?''Tell the scholar to stay close to me - I will protect him'[/sblock]With the merest nod of understanding to the two northerners, she grasped the glaive in both hands, and took up a defensive stance, feet spread with her weight balanced. Her eyes constantly scanned the darkness for signs of movement.</blockquote>
