The gather up and bandage the wounded.
The camp has nothing in it beside the typical bedrolls, clothes, tools, food, and such.
The halflings and Alzar agree that this likely ends the raids and disturbances in the area for now, so the following day they begin to move back to the road and catch up with the caravan.
As they do, a crashing noise hits up ahead and Alzar explores. Here is a large, brilliant colored yellow tomcat. It talks to Alzar and says that it is hungry. Alzar grabs some food and tosses it to the cat instead of moving to it. The cat thanks him. He was turned into a cat by an evil wizard a few months ago. Alzar is not sure he believes the cat, which has a very strange way of constructing its sentences. But the cat wants to come along, and Alzar agrees. His name is Karat.
The journey to the road is almost over when fire blackened arrows leap out of the brush and lance at Alzar’s group. He orders everyone to the road and to prepare for battle. His magic spear is out and he moves to the lead.
Suddenly a powerful flame erupts in front of him and brush catches on fire. Alzar’s horse is started and pulls up. He fails his riding proficiency, falls, and take 3 damage. As he does so, Karat, scared, leaps away and into the brush.
