The group descends the other side of the hill and immediately notices how well Telwyn and Buchek had been doing to keep them on animal runs through the wilds. The thickness of the grass becomes almost like wading through water. The height of the grass is greater on this side of the hill as the group approaches the region known as the Tall Grass, and it now reaches to the chins of the humans and well over Erk's head.

The going is slow through the reedy grass, as Elotai and Telwyn move out front to hack at it with their swords. They have lost sight of the battle itself, but Buchek and Telwyn are sure they are still moving in the right direction.

From her perch on the mule at the top of the rise, Kayla watches the men struggle through the thick grass, plowing a narrow path toward the thrashing weasel. The beast has started to flail, lashing out randomly, often at no attacker at all. The warriors have backed away a few paces, hurling their spears, and she notices one in particular near the head of the creature who appears to be leading the assault.

As the group is about half way to the fight, she watches this warrior hurl a spear that lodges in the roof of the weasel's mouth, just behind its teeth, and hears another piercing squeal in reply. The haft of the spear is snapped in two by the powerful teeth, but the bloodied animal shakes its head and staggers back a pace.

It is obviously dying at this point, having lost so much blood and taken so much punishment, but the weasel still fights on, lunging wildly at the leader. He easily sidesteps, and would have had an easy shot behind the monster's right ear if he'd still been holding a weapon. Though the others have no way of knowing it, the fight may well be over by the time they get encampment in the cleared area of grass.

Being unaware of these developments, Buchek will keep trundling through the grass, making a point of not outpacing his companions.
