Mahe shrugs it off. "Aye, no problem."

Meanwhile Ian gazes quietly out into the darkness, waiting for the night to end.

Recovering from the battle
As you look around at the scene of carnage in flickering light of drawn torches and glowing weapons you hear the sound of wings taking flight. High above you in the trees shadows begin to move as a large bird climbs into the sky. Ominously, it flies across the face of the moon or what little you can see of it through the branches over head. It lets loose one long cry before speeding off to the west. Turning back to the fallen you tend to those still wounded. Nalya joins Mahe as he makes the rounds offering what help she can.
Taneth and Gespeth turn to examine the wolves seeing that the others are taken care of. With better light shining directly on the wolves Taneth and Gespeth both come to the conclusion that their affliction is not due to undeath. Proding at one of the ichor filled wounds you find that their flesh underneath is not even flesh, muscle or bone. There is something awfully familiar though as Taneth examines them, he realizes. These creatures are not flesh and blood, they appear to be somekind of plant life. Strong woody bones hold it together and strong plant fibres keep most of the outer layer of wolf skin attached. Whatever they are, they certainly arent animals anymore.
When Mahe questions Nalya about the creatures, she replies, "They certainly arent natural. But no tales I know of speak of such beasts. The tales are ancient though, perhaps some details have faded over time. Best to be ever watchful for if the fortress has already been opened that far more fell beasts may walk the land."
In contrast to the ferocious battle that raged earlier in the evening, the rest of the night passes quietly. In the morning, you pack up your tents and set out again towards the west.
[ooc: Mahe heals Dara for 8hp. Nalya heals Dara for 6hp and Sadet for 4hp with Cure Light Wounds spells.]
[ooc: Im back, sorry for the long delay.]

Mahe leads the group through the forest, frowning and lost in his own thoughts about the wolf-like beasts. He had expected undead, or perhaps diseased, but plant-like...? He racks his own brains about what might have caused this.

Dara Dragondaughter
In the morning, Dara packs her few belongings and dresses in her black chain shirt again. Some of her wounds are still aching, but not nearly as bad as during the night. Tomorrow they will be gone completely. Dara has been through worse than that, so she continues the journey without thinking about it further. She does walk a bit more careful, however.

Donner Hund
Donner packs up his tent, storing it away, readying himself in his full plate he hopes to get a bit of help cinching the last few straps to keep it snug. Pulling out some hard-tack he gnaws away at the stuff, tossing a few pieces of food to his dogs and giving each a good rub down; he gets underway with the rest of the party.

Ian keeps walking, gradually getting used to it. He quietly reflects on the unusual nature of their enemy, relieved that they were not undead.

Gespath wakes in the morning and sits down with his spell books, studying new spells for the day. he then quicly casts "mend" on his robes, ensuring they are as good as new!
Finishing his studies he packs up his belngings and joins the others in their walking. Eating some nuts and dried fruits.
"I wonder if we are facing a druid? Surely a druid would have enough knowledge to turn an animal into a plant? A mage could do it but then it would loose its form. An interesting conundrum isn't it?"
ooc: Two mend spells used to remove all damage from the robes. Updated spell selction can be seen in rogues gallery thread.
