Holn and Fa sniff the air and listen carefully to footfalls, the follow Buchek cautiously.

Elotai is oblivious to all of this, so he simply carries on.

Subject: The Beast Falls

Buchek bursts from the edge of the grass with Nauhata primed for a fight to the death, just as another squeal is cut abruptly short. The rest of the party coming rapidly on his heels. Emerging into the clearing, they see the beast fallen, lying on its side with the warriors warily approaching it.

The leader is shouting in the barbarian tongue to his people, which Buchek, Holn and Telwyn recognize as orders to stay back.

"Do not approach! We have slain the physical body, but the spirit is still strong and may yet strike! Do not touch or despoil the body, for we do not wish to incur any more of Khoftak's rage!"

With that, the leader calls for his ceremonial axe, and one of the younger fighers at his side runs off towards the ruins of the huts. Just as he turns, he catches sight of the party that has emerged from the grasses and shouts back: "Kubalc! Take heed!"

Kubalc turns from the fallen beast and looks toward the party, not sure yet how to react to their sudden presence at this spiritually sensitive time.
