(Domina sounds like a female name to me. I guess I'm used to female names (Diana, Jessica, Rebecca) ending in vowels.)
After a time, the laughing stops. Domina, slightly disoriented but not worse for wear, seems ready for action, but no trace of the beasts, or whoever they were ordering about, is to be found.
DC 20 Survival:
[spoiler]
Those of you who make this know my previous sentence is false. You find tracks of at least 30 creatures ranging in sizes, from the tiny 'Chesire' creatures size to ogre sized. All the tracks seem to disappear at an invisible wall, but no traces of magic linger, and walking through the wall has no effect.[/spoiler]
As you trudge back to the caravan, Maxx once again trips on a badger hole. Probably the same one. This time, the badger comes out of the hole along with Maxx's foot, and some other small game, caught mostly by Mevri, would add some fresh-ness to the meal of the caravan. Larger game is encountered, but none of it stays around long. A massive example of a dire bear, bounding through the forest with surprising nimbleness almost crushes Keness, but alters course at the last moment and bounds away. The caravan comes into sight soon after its pounding echoes fade. The runner has returned, and the other hunting parties fared little better than your own.
