After collecting wood for the fires and lighting the birds up, Garekk keeps quietly to the back of the group throughout the rest of the trip.
Obliviously caught up in his own musings.

Well, dinner appears to have arrived. Some kind of beast.
Bendalis moves smoothly, keeping her weapon down and her gaze general, but gestures to the others that they're being followed.

Animals are knowledge (nature) basically the only knowledge you don't have.
Flandrion, having been alerted to the presence of the beasts, readies his longbow and starts moving stealthily towards them.
Draalûsh, realizing the others are worried about something or someone is following them, gets ready to cast a fire ray. And tries again to see if he can perceive what the other already have.

"I could tell you what they are, if I can get close enough to touch one. Though, of course, first I should use my scroll of Ray of Enfeeblement and make one of their teeth incapable of tearing a piece of parchment. Of course, I have to be within twenty-five feet for that, too."
Alice sees the things and hisses, with her back arched and her fur bristling. She's dealt with dogs before, but nothing like this.
"Hmmm. Things with teeth? How many, do you reckon?"
While the party pauses to debate the creatures advance. They are now 200 feet from you and about 30 ft apart from each other.
Not too far for my bow, however.
Bendalis lazily fires an arrow in the direction of the beasts, and smiles as it flies through the air.
That probably hits whatever those are. Be ready.
Flandrion, seeing that the beasts are already being taken under fire, targets the same one that Bendalis hit.
Our bows, I should say.
Flandrion says, "I guess there's no harm in demonstrating what a couple of elven archers can do."
Hmmm... Whatever they are, they're too far for my spells.
"I'd rather we get this over quickly, no sense in stretching out this encounter of man and wild. Let your arrows fly true!"
Swift, feeling useless, sticks around the other party members and watches as the two beast try to make their way to them, his stern gaze unwavering.
After the two arrows hit the creature both of them run forward and take cover behind a low rise about 90ft from the party.
I think you'll need to flush them, or we'll be at this all day off and on. Silly beasts seem to think the horses are for eating. If you can scare them out, I can put down at least one of them and we can go back to our idyllic travels through this scenic land.
She grins wryly, and waits for a clear shot.
You can't see them right now, but know roughly where they are. Essentially there is an area of dead ground that you can't see.
Flandrion resumes moving stealthily towards the animals. He's going to try to position himself such that he will have a clear shot at their flank and they will have to come out in the open to charge him. He would be trying for a range of around 70 to 100 feet if he can, but will.close to 30 feet if he has to.
Draalûsh keeps his eyes open to spot the small animals.
Draalûsh will ready his sling for when either of those animals get within range (50 feet).
The Bendalis' arrow catches the first of the animals in the flank as it breaks cover leaving it bleeding on the ground. The other advances swiftly and reaches base contact with him.
Draalûsh will move towards Bendalis, ready to cast a Fire Ray.
Bendalis smiles as the shot sinks home, then startles as the second beast rushes forward before falling into an easy rhythm.
I'll try to draw it's attention, you should have an opening at it's flanks.
It is in melee with Bendalis.

You can 5ft back. Your shot does not confirm.
Flandrion shoots at the beast with his bow taking care not to hit Bendalis.
Draalûsh will try shooting a Fire Ray one of the animals Bendalis is fighting with.
Seeing all of these projectiles fly towards the creatures makes Swift hesitant to enter the fray, for fear of friendly-fire ending his journey prematurely. He will approach the creature, but hang back a bit until an opening presents itself.
Out of all the attacks Bendalis' is the only one that connects.
The beast strikes back at Bendalis. Between it's bite and claws it deals 10 damage to him.
Draalûsh will try hitting the beast again with a Fire Ray

You hit.
Ow. Some help please.
Bendalis drops her bow, drawing her sword and slicing at the beast in front of her.
Nevermind, I think I got it. Filthy creatures, now I have to clean, ugh, everything. At least we'll eat well.
She shudders delicately, shoulders her bow, and then wipes her blade on the corpse.
I'll need to retrieve my arrowhead, and we should check and be sure there are no pups. It would be cruel to leave them alone, even if their parents picked the wrong meal.

"Finally! Now you will all feel my power!" she cries out with a wicked cackle.
When Hailey is within 30 feet of at least one of the creatures, she will hex it with her channelling of negative energy, naturally making use of her Selective Channel feat so that it will bypass her party members.
Her party members may feel the power of her hex, but not the sting, meaning (merely as flavor) that they can feel the energy passing the borders of their flesh but she is not allowing it to harm them.
Flandrion will drop his bow, and move to flank the beast while drawing his sword and using a two handed grip. If he can get close enough to attack it he will.
Ow. Some help please.

The Elf's sword blow strikes down the second beast.
Thank you hailey. Did you want any components from the beast, or perhaps to join me in documenting it's anatomy? I have an extra scalpel.
Bendalis grins teasingly, continuing her wander towards the other beast.

"Components and anatomy lessons. First I research, then we have fun."
She gives Bendalis a gleeful grin.
She will first use her power of Lore Keeper from the Knowledge Domain to touch one of these things. This reveals to her its abilities and weaknesses, and information as if she had made the correct knowledge check with a result of 15 + 1 (for cleric level) + 3 for Wisdom mod.) In English, a result of 19 from the touch.
Then, after she's used her touch to learn what these things are and explain it to the party, she'll join the scalpelly fun.
Flandrion sheaths his sword, retrieves his bow and rejoins the group. He asks Hailey, "So what do we have here? Something sent by our least favorite wizard?"
Seeing as the situation has been resolved, Swift-Palm picks up his pack of things and shoulders them once more. He scans the horizon as the party talks of dissecting the best.
"Ugh, hoe deplorable, poor little beats. Even if they had to attack us, they do not deserve such a gruesome ending."
He sighs heavily.
"But they do what they must. If they can learn a thing or two, it might be useful to us in the future. Their deaths shall hopefully not go in vain..."
They were wolverines. Wolverines rage once they have taken damage. They don't really have anything else special, other than being mean and quick.
"Glad my magic had some effect. Who is this least favoured wizard you're talking about?"
