'Well Desna curse it for a craven dog, its just a harmless animal!'
Makin curses again, more colourfully but under his breath.
'Alright, let's find this pugawampi, if it can be found, and try not to get spooked by anymore rodents!'
Makin returns to bring up the parties rear, now holding his wayfinder over his head, with his shortsword drawn.
After walking a few more feet Dashki says to Haldo, "There! You are walking on the tracks." sure enough you see small humanoid footprints leading to the east deeper in the hills, scrub brush and cacti. You also notice that there seems to be a hooved creature with the pugwampis, probably against it's will. As you turn and follow the tracks you all feel a sense of unease and tension fall upon you, like the night just got darker or you are sure that there is soomeone hiding just up ahead. Then all of a sudden a load inhuman screech, no more like a moan calls out from up ahead running a chill down each of your spines.
The sound increases in urgency as you approach and sounds not unlike a child's cry. As you continue further down the trail the cacti seem to get thicker and you realize you have wandered into very large cactus patch and the sound is coming from deep inside of it. About 30 feet ahead you see a shadowy four legged figure that seems to be the source of the sounds. A few feet closer and you see what could only be Rombard the goat straining at a knotted fraying rope tied to stake.
Staying where she is, Vadoma extends out her hand and shoots a ray of divine fire at the shadowy creature.

Makin charges on into the cactus patch deftly dodging the spines on his way toward Romard the goat. Seeing Makin's wayfinder glowing above him, Rombard bursts into a new level of panic raising the volume of his cries.
Fayasal shouts "Makin!! Wait!!!" and steps to the left to find his own way into the cactus patch but somehow snags his clothes on a protruding spine.
Haldo, seeing Makin not heading his warning, proceeds to bolt after him saying "Once I get my hands on that hot-head ! Grr ....". 2 steps into the cactus Haldo somehow catches his backpack on a rather large cactus which pulls him off his feet leaving him sitting on the ground and wondering what happened.
Long steps in after Makin making it 5 feet into the spines before himself become caught up by his robe spinning him around so he is facing hte way he came in and allowing a spine to pierce into his bottom.
Vadoma also steps into the cactus wondering if it is the best idea and then feels a tug on her head as her log braided hair is snatched by a small angry looking cactus.
How unlucky...
Makin continues on toward the goat making soothing sounds and gets almost to arm reach when he trips on a low slung cactus. The unexpected fall and soothing sounds have done nothing to calm the frightened animal as it runs chaotically around the post it is tied to.
Faysal untangles himself from the patch and casts light on his 1/4 staff.
Haldo drops his pack and picks himself up and bends over to untangle his pack just to find himself stuck from behind by another cactus
Long seeming a little flustered by the cacti stops to recover his calm and free himself.
Vadoma tries to loosen her hair and move toward the stranded goat but finds that she is getting more tangled.
for long and Faysal:
Makin makes a jump to grapple the goat and is able to snatch him though the goat is twisting and writhing to escape.
Almost simultaneously Faysal shouts "Look!! Over by that rock!!!" and a high pitch squeal from what sounds like an angry rodent erupts from behind a large rock near the goat and Makin.
Everyone else can see something small moving behind the rock but you are out of melee range.
for Makin:
