[Finch roll for Sense+Direction-1d: 3,3,5,5,7 Result: Success]
The noble Halsey trail-blazes the path to camp according to Finch's incessant course corrections. The return trip winds through a long stretch of luminescent mushroom bowls. The odors and natural sounds of the woods are masked by the musk of the burning incense and ruckus of hooves and boots against desiccated mushrooms. Henry and Barkov stop suddenly in their tracks. Barkov begins barking furiously into the darkness ahead of the young Halsey. Thirty seconds later two humans come sprinting towards the group. The first is dressed in a lamellar cuirass, torn cloak and angular bronze metal mask. The second soul wears leather armor from their shoulders down to their shins. Their exposed arms have nasty deep cuts. When they take notice of the party they wave their arms motioning to turn back and yell in foreign accents.
Unknown Souls - [Imperial]: "RUN! RUN!"
A booming crash sounds off behind them and moments later a towering feline beast comes diving through the side of a tree in pursuit. Though its difficult to discern its precise form in the darkness two details are certain: First, the creature is at least eight and a half feet high when it stands on four legs. Second, the creature is stained with a shimmering green all over its body. Henry trips the two fleeing souls with subtle positioning unexpected from an ordinary dog. The hulking feline beast closes the distance to the party in an instant but stops short of the group, well within the pervasive musk of the incense. The beast stands only fifteen feet away and remains motionless while staring at the party with apparent intelligence.
