"And I will ensure that the boy returns to us if it comes to that. A simple touch of holy power is all it takes." Lune says.

"Let us hope that the beast does not feed on Dwarven complaints," Leilani quipped.
"And Miranda," she added, "Remember that we were sent because today was a day off for the regular, arguably more capable students. We were, quite literally, the only people for the job."
"Be that as it may, perhaps our quest WAS fated in the stars..." Looking to Olek, she smiled and said, "And the breakfast fruit."

As you contemplate the situation, you don't hear the sounds ahead easily. You see that the trees give way to a clearing with the faint sound of water running. It seems that the creek opens up here, creating a small pond before traveling off south again. Spotting something move, Silvas cautions you all to quieten down as he draws his bow.
A figure turns to you, bloodied and ragged. He holds up his hands, covered in blood, simply stating,
From the description that Ghentir gave, you have found Rollen. He is wounded, and he bends near to a bloodied corpse of what must have been one of his hounds. Snarling from the pond draws your attention, as another hound moves to place itself between your group and Rollen, baring its teeth. It barks, warning you to stay away from Rollen. You can spy the wounds on the dog, not knowing how it could still be standing, blood still flowing from openings on its torso.

"Master Rollen, calm your dog down. I can heal your wounds if you give me the chance. I am Lune, and we have been sent here to find you. And slay the monster that did this to you.". Lune says, putting both his sword and shield away and cautiously approaching the injured pair.
Olek
"Oh, I have faith in my own abilities. Don't you ever doubt that. Moradin the All-Father has seen fit for me to be one of his heralds in this world. Still I cannot fight, capture or kill that which is not present."
Glancing at Lune curiously as he approaches the boy and the dogs, he asks "Are you a healer then?" It is almost possible to see gears turning behind his eyes, before he adds "Ohhhh. I see. You are a cleric. Which of the human gods do you follow? When you have time, of course. More urgent matters for now."

Silvas breathes a sigh of relief and lowers his bow once he realizes that this is the boy we have been searching for. "Very wise master Lune. Heal his wounds to make travel possible. Olek you will have time to prove your worth against the beast but now I need your leadership. Organize the others and form a permitter around the boy until Lune can heal his wounds."
Silvas' eyes turn to the gashing wound of the hound. Sympathy feels his heart. This animal was willing to fight for his master even in its state. What loyalty. Silvas locks eyes with the beast. He has always had a way with animals and right now he is trying to connect with the hound to calm him down and try and bandage the dogs wounds with whatever is available even his own shirt if need be.
[sblock=ooc]
wild empathy on the dog and then a heal check to stop the bleeding / bandage. If the heal doesnt work Silvas will call for someone else more skilled in healing to help.

"That is a good idea, young elf." Turning to the rest of the group, he begins to explain his plan.
"If you know anything about healing, step forward. Otherwise, come closer. My eyes are closer to the ground than all of yours and do not see as far."
Glancing over the motley collection of people, he makes up his mind with an exasperated sigh, muttering "Might as well be a bunch of peasants..."
"Right then, you, wizard man with the evil looking bird. You stand near the creek, in the middle of this clearing. Keep an eye on all sides equally. You are the backup and reserve for everyone."
"I will stand at the southern side of the clearing, near where the stream goes deeper into the forest. A large beast needs a clear trail to move, and this is the direction I think it went. It is then more likely to come back the same way."
"Leilani, m'lady, you take the western edge. This is where we came from and is probably the safest place, like you wanted. You, elf, can take the opposite side to Leilani like a gentleman should. Which leaves the northern edge for you, young lady."
"I suggest to all of you that you stand near enough to the forest to see a way in between the trees, but far enough back that you have time to react if something tries to leap at you," Olek adds as he heads to his self-appointed station half a dozen feet short of the southern tree line. "And keep your ears open! You will probably hear a large creature before you see it. Just as long as it doesn't rain, we should hear it well and good..."

Daelyn
Well, wizard man and his bird will go watch the creek. We wouldn't want any viscious salmon to get the drop on us.
Daelyn send his thoughts to Cinder, requesting that he keep an eye on us from the Air, notifying us if he sees the creature approaching. The bird briefly reminds Daelyn that he is a Raven, not a hawk....but is quickly soothed by the promise of a handful of corn Daelyn has been saving in his pack. Daelyn leans on a tree and watches for any further disturbances while the rest of the group tends to the wounded animals and boy.

OOC: Heal is a skill I never had enough skill points for. I am always thinking I should, but never do. Maybe at level two I'll spare one or two to start getting it up. besides, who needs diplomacy with 2 CHA based people
Lune nods his approval at Olek, and starts to slowly move forward if the dog looks like it will not attack. He knows what to do, having to heal himself multiple times before after sparring practice.
OCC: Cast Vigor on Rollen once I can get close.
