Agate maintains vigilance keeping an eye on the horizon, and also the sky above.
Malachi keeps an eye on things as well as watching Björn for any odd reactions.
Agate and Malachi notice a thing coming out of the mountains. It has wings, a lizard's head, and a strong humanoid body. It's about eight feet tall, and may be a Rift monster.
Agate and Malachi both point at the boogie from the mountains. INCOMING! Agate yells and readies her JA-11, finding the potential threat in her multi-optic view finder.

Malachi makes sure Björn is aware of the flying creature, as he draws his Wilk’s 320 laser pistol.
"Can anyone tell if it's heading at us?"
"Anyone recognize what kind of creature that is, maybe what its attacks and weaknesses are?"

To recognize this particular rift monster, you need to roll common knowledge. Kara already has, but it appears to be a reptilian demon from the Rifts.
Julian stops pushing and steps clear of the wagon.
He then kneels down and brings up his helmets basicis magnification as he unslings his autocannon and flicks it to full auto.
He mumbles to himself as he decides the type of bullets to fire.
Agate doesn't recognize the beastie.
Malachi searches his memory and finds something relevant, which he shares with everyone.
Frankie pulls out his own rifle and sights on the creature.

It's headed west out of the mountains, and headed towards you!
Kara activates her suit and sword .
You all see a suit of dark-red metal appear around her, and two swords appear in her hands.
Malachi mutters, "It's a gargoyle, for what it's worth. Not common around here, so maybe a rift opened up that-a-way."

The Gargoyle tries to speak, but utters nonsense to your ears.
Yeah, it's close enough to hear it talking.
Agate is ready to shoot at it if it looks hostile. She tries to read its body language and the sounds it's making to see if she thinks that it will be attacking.

It's more confused than anything!
Frankie looks at the others. "Cover me." He holds up his rifle and makes a show of putting it away, then digs a small device out of his backpack. He says "Hello," into it then holds it up. Out of the speaker comes "hello" in all the common languages of North America.

He looks at you, perplexed. He's still confused, but doesn't speak any North American language.
Frankie points at his mouth and says "Hello" again then points at the gargoyle's mouth then the device, trying to get across the idea that it should say something into the machine.

Yeah, Spirit should work. Savage worlds removed Mien, which was their Charisma stat.
The Gargoyle understands better this time.
Agate takes the translator from Frankie, fiddles with it with the help of a weird all purpose tool.
"Can you understand me?" she asks. "What is your name? Where are you from? Are you injured?"
The gargoyle says, in his language, "I can."
"Are you injured? Can we help you in any way?"
"If you are confused as to where you are, you probably came through what we call a 'rift," Agate explains. "If you go back the way you came you may be able to return to your home. If not, you can try to make friends here, as long as you don't attack people who are not attacking you. Do you understand?"
"If you are confused as to where you are, you probably came through what we call a 'rift," Agate explains. "If you go back the way you came you may be able to return to your home. If not, you can try to make friends here, as long as you don't attack people who are not attacking you. Do you understand?"
He nods yes.
He starts to speak, with your translator translating into english.
"I was hunting for food in my original world, but I ended up here after walking through what you call a rift. I was hunting what we call a deer. I need to get back to my people, but I don't know if the rift closed. I bear you no ill will, but I come from what you call the Anvil Galaxy."
"Have you tried finding the rift you came through? If you cannot get back, we'd recommend you head that-a-way," and she points in the direction of New Salt Lake, "where you will find a city of sorts. Approach it in a non-threatening way and see if they can help. Or you can come with us and see if the elves of Cill Onchon can help."
"Either way is helpful, I'll follow you to the elf city," said the Gargoyle. "Have you heard of Shifters?"
"No, what are they?"
Agate is not sure what a shifter is, so she remains silent. She glances at Malachi.
Malachi says, "I believe they are like wizards who specialize in dimensional travel and summoning creatures to do their bidding? They are often suspected of being in league with demons or devils."

The Gargoyle nods his head. "Yes. They can help get me back to my world."
Frank shrugs. "Maybe you can find one where we're going. We're in the middle of a job right now. You can tag along but hopefully you speak Elvish."
"The more the merrier," Agate chirps. "And if something wants to threaten us, the more the scarier!" She introduces herself (again) and Malachi. "What do we call you. If there's trouble it's good to be able to name names to suggest strategies."
Malachi explains that Björn is just an animal friend and works on conveying to the bear that the gargoyle is a friend.
"The more the merrier," Agate chirps. "And if something wants to threaten us, the more the scarier!" She introduces herself (again) and Malachi. "What do we call you. If there's trouble it's good to be able to name names to suggest strategies."
"I am called Johanyn," The gargoyle quips. "Maybe we can go hunting."
After an hour of walking, you see another monster. Only this one is not confused. It looks like a dragon, and it's belching fire. It's scales are golden red, however.
Frankie pulls his horse to a stop and looks around for somewhere to take cover.
There are some rocks you all can hide behind. They are thirty paces north of you, and are covered in grass. The rocks are made of solid granite. They are also about 10 to 20 feet tall (and count as boulders).
"Does anyone recognize that creature? Are we capable of taking on a dragon? If not, I suggest we run for cover behind those boulders."
"Capable or not, I don't mean to fight a dragon unless it's fixin' to eat me." Frankie nods at Kara, reining toward the boulders. "Let's go."
