Brunhild, feeling imminent danger, pulled a flask from her hip. In one swift motion she chugged it down, a look of disgust on her face. The already muscular woman grimaced as her muscles visible began to bulge, her skin hardening as the mutagen took effect. Scowling, as she gripped her Greatsword, she growled ”Let it come!”

Carth rapidly weaves his hands in a brief series of signs and mutters quietly to himself. For a second a careful observer can see an aura, vaguely reminiscent of a dragons scales flash across his skin but it quickly fades.

Feeling something approaching from all sides, Zegenva will turn to the rest of the group and assess their weapons. After Brunhild makes her exclamation and Carth casts his spell, she will say to the group
Anatoli, Brunhilde, Carth, and Mahonrai, circle up around Androushan and Ashlyn. Their weapons are less useful if enemies get up close to them.

Brunhild nodded. She looked around warily as she moved closer to Androushan to block any attacks against him.

With his sword lit by magical flame like light, his face a grim shadow, Anatoli circles and puts his back to them following the group on their rear right flank a grimace of determination as he looks into the silent darkness
Mahonrai follows Zegenva's instructions, but realizes he is too tall to stand in front of anyone, so tries to stay to the side while still protecting. He also keeps his bow ready.
It feels like you've been waiting 2 hours for an attack from it and it feels like 2 creatures are stalking you and they are BIG and powerful.
Brunhild senses their power is more then 2 times her current power.
Then you all hear a whisper in your ear in a kind yet seductive voice

Steeling herself, Brunhild told herself We have an angel on our side. There is nothing that can beat that! To whatever was out there, she declared ”Show yourself! We know you are out there.”
Ashlyn swallows her fear, pushing it aside for the moment. "Running at this point will scatter us and allow whatever this is to hunt us down one at a time. We need to stay together," she says to everyone.

Everyone roll a 20 to Hit! Anyways OOC I know to run. IC not so much.
”Stand firm!” Brunhild did her best to keep her voice steady. ”We have an angel on our side! We cannot lose.”
While subject to this spell, you take upon yourself the mantle of the hunter, channeling the insights of the spirits of the wild.
You gain a +4 sacred bonus on all Survival checks for the duration of the spell, and you do not have to move at half your speed while traveling through the wilderness or while tracking.

Anatoli knows that what ever is out there is real now and grabs a rope and threads it to each person and then starts pulling saying come on we are together now close by rope, what ever It is we must leace.
If you are trying to get us to go a certain way or get to a certain point, would you prefer to just skip to that? I don't mind walking through these opening scenes with no real choices if you are trying to get us to a certain point, but I would also be happy to hand-wave it, since we can't really *do* anything or make actual choices.
You all definitely hear a monstrous vocal sound behind you as you run.
The forest parts a head as you enter an open meadow with a small hut within a small fenced yard and all around is filled with a light fog and a rising moon.

Thank yee, ser.
The hunter stops.
Don't make any sudden moves. We are being stalked.
Adroushan then reaches into his pack, producing some trail rations.
He then prepares to cast a spell upon seeing (hopefully) any hostile animals.

Description
This spell soothes and quiets animals, rendering them docile and harmless. Only ordinary animals (those with Intelligence scores of 1 or 2) can be affected by this spell. All the subjects must be of the same kind, and no two may be more than 30 feet apart. The maximum number of HD of animals you can affect is equal to 2d4 + caster level.
The affected creatures remain where they are and do not attack or flee. They are not helpless and defend themselves normally if attacked. Any threat breaks the spell on the threatened creatures.

”Enough of this.” Brunhild took her sword and stabbed at the ground near her feet. With the mutagen still coursing through her veins, she was itching for a fight. Running and skulking was not the way of her people.
