Cholodny, Viking Fighter/Barbarian
Having no mount, Cholodny goes on foot, as fast as he can without tiring himself for battle. This last requirment will be waived if he fears he will miss the fighting. Cholodny wears a Cold Weather Outfit; if it gets colder he can supplement these with his Furs (which should stack, according to Frostburn).

Misha Yaroslav, Human (Slav) Paladin 3
Misha glances back as he rides forward, and sees Cholodny puffing behind them. Valiant, but foolish he thinks. He slows down his horse and approaches Cholodny. "There is plenty of room on Grisha's back" he pats his horse, "hop on."
OOC: Misha & Chodolny (assuming he will join me on the horse) will ride before Burian & Brata, taking the lead. If the others are too slow, Misha will only be willing to slow down slightly (as it may be too late already). By the RAW I have no idea of our speed, but our horses should be encumbered, so we won't be moving that fast... Misha won't hesitate to push his mount, however, as he is not intending to use it in combat.
Misha is wearing a Cold Weather Outfit and has the Endurance feat (+4 to saves vs. weather), so I don't expect he'll freeze any time soon. He is also immune to disease, so he won't be getting a cold

Movement is slightly hampered by the conditions and it takes a bit more than 30 mins to get to Bogolubovo.
You arrive at the tiny village, and most of its inhabitents are indoors. Eventually, a group of 3 peasants armed with sickles come out and approach you carefully.
They seem to recognize you as friend rather than foe, and relax slightly. One steps forward.
Are you the help that Ilya sent for?

Stanislava 3rdlvl fighter
Stanislava rides behind Misha & Chodolny. She feels a bit weary but her
Cold Weather Outfit keeps her snug and the cold reminds her of her home villiage. She waves to Misha when he looks back. As the party approaches the three peasants she notices their relaxed composure. She still looks around to be sure of no hidden surprises........

Misha, Slav Paladin 3
Misha lets his heavy draft horse stop before the peasants. "Yes, we have come to help you. Ilya spoke of animal-headed raiders, are they all gone from your village?"
He looks over the village as he speaks. Are you hiding out there? he wonders, are you the same kind of beast?

Brata Scythor, "Slavic" Druid 2 / Sorcerer 1
"Da!!", yells Brata as he extends his arms for a hand up. After securing his seating behind the warrior, he turns back and motions to a shadow in the bushes. Having his companion come closer at this point may spook the horses. After arriving, Brata will dismount, and signal to his owl to start searching from the sky for signs of disturbance.

Um, is anyone carrying Ivan or does he have to jog?

The peasant who came forward earlier continues to address you:
The creatures Ilya spoke of attacked out village a couple of hours ago. It was dark by then, and we didn't see them very well.
At first sight of these beasts, everyone in the village hid in their homes. The creatures chased a few villagers but didn't pursue them into their homes. They continued through the village towards the temple on the Nerl.
I'm not sure how many there were, 6 or seven perhaps. THey may not have all been these animal men--perhaps there were men among them.
OOC: The Nerl is a river that flows into the Klyasma not far from Bogolubovo. It meanders through a large meadow near the village. The temple of Mokosh is located on that river in the meadow.
I'll assume Ivan is mounted wiht Stanislav if neither player objects
