Fight
((NRDL hasn't been on in a while to post an action. But it occurred to me it's probably a moot point because he has 10 HP left and got stumbled last round so his action goes last. If anyone hits he's probably done so i started running his turn.))
Listed in innitiative order.
[Snatcher5 On Top Of Rock. Bruised leg, arm. lacerations, including minor neck wound. Bleeding 4/10]
[Snatcher4 Bruised leg, chest, scratched throat Bleeding 1/10]
[Boss Hanging on side of rock.]
[Snatcher2 has a mangled face. Flowing blood impairs vision. Bleeding 2/10]
[Charlie, on rock. 10 HP]
Snatcher5 kicks Charlie center of mass as hard as it can in the limited space on top of the rock. (Attack 6-1 vs 4-1. Damage 6 x3=18) The blows strike hard, ripping into Charlie's chest before sending him tumbling off the rock to strike the ground 10 feet below. The Snatcher pack quickly surrounds his unconscious form and puts a definite end to him.
[Charlie has been killed]((Thanks for playing NRDL. I hope you had fun. If you're still going to be around and want it I can put you on the wait list.))
---------------------------
Hooktoe sniffed around. "Come on, let's follow Charlie's trail. We might luck out and find him... maybe even some prey on the way," he said, flexing his claws as he did so - an action he usually performed when he had reached a decision.
(Sense 5) You manage to pick up Charlies trail and start off in a generally eastward direction. The others come with you.
Ripmaw dipped his head eagerly at Hooktoe's pronouncement, and said, "I agree. If nothing else, maybe we can rule out this direction for a new nesthome and find some meat."
Ripmaw begins sniffing around, trying to catch Charlie's trail.
(Sense 2-1) You try to pick up the trail but have trouble and stray off it. Fortunately Hooktoe has more luck and the four of you start off.
(Hooktoe Party)
[Yep, following Skyrunner's suggestion on teams. 
]
Moonfang continues on the lookout for other beings of her kind as the group moves onwards on Charlie's trail!
Hey Highleap, funny thing. You've hatched earlier than Hooktoe and Ripmaw, so you're older than them. Any ideas?

Highleap says, "Well I don't think we should let Ripmaw do the tracking. He's good at kicking things, not finding them." ((Rules reminder, only two characters can Track at a time.))
Hooktoe manages to find and start following Charlie's trail though and you all start moving off toward the East. You don't see any creatures anything like yourself on the way.
Follow, find snack on way if possible
(Cunning 6) True to your name you catch a large dragonfly getting yourself a tasty high protein morsel.
All Eastward Hunters:You go on for a bit following the trail. It's getting old, but it's fairly clear to start with. Besides Charlie's scent and tracks theres also those of a Snatcher he was following, and a blood trail from it. Your path takes you along close to the summit of one of the tallest hills in the vicinity. You pause stand briefly on it's bald top and look around before the shadows lengthen too much to make out distant objects.
[You are at 45°30'15.95"N 113°11'13.82"W on the hilltop If you want to look at this location in Google Earth]To the East where the trail seems to take you there is a wide valley, rising to another large hill beyond which you cannot see, except for the peaks of small mountains poking up in the distance.
To the South the land seems to continue as forested hills, little is easily visible even from your height.
(Sense: 2,2,6,6-1) To the North some motion catches your eyes. The ground slopes down to a long and rather wide treeless valley that runs NE/SW. There you spot the largest creatures any of you have ever seen or heard of, plainly visible even at about a mile distant. They must be almost unimaginably large and heavy. They have giant bodies with long thin necks and long thin tails. There are at least a dozen of them moving very slowly in the SW direction eating vegitation all the while.
[Eastern Party has spotted a herd of Alamosaurus, a ~100 ton, 120 foot long sauropod]---------------------------------------
Ah, screw it.
Sneak up behind one of the ((Tails)) big ones, weather Ironhide agrees or not.
((lol not even after a small or sickly one ehh just going for Gold?))
You slink off out of the woods into the clearing, walking slowly and trying to keep out of sight as best you can. (Stealth 1+1+1 vs 2.5) Despite unfavorable conditions you get to rather to within about 50 yards without the herd noticing. There are 3 others nearby. (Stealth 4+1+1 vs 2,1,1,3) Amazingly despite basically just walking up to them in the open you have made it within striking distance of an adult hadrosaur. It munches away blissfully.
[You can ambush-attack this creature next turn. See section addressed to you all though.]
"You moron, you'll...oh, never mind..."
Follow, trying to locate a young or sickly one.
(Sense 4) (Stealth 4+1 vs 2.5) You move forward, distancing yourself a bit from the idiot ahead of you, who seems to be angling for the largest one he can find. Instead you circle a bit looking for a vulnerable target. Successfully spotting one of the smaller members of the herd a bit removed from the others you approach closer trying to get close enough for a strike. (Stealth 4+1 vs 5,1,3,1) Neither it nor the 3 other ones nearby have noticed you.
[You can ambush-attack this creature next turn. See section addressed to you all though.]
Move in, but don't push our luck.
(Stealth 2+1+1, 4+1+1) You remain easily out of sight of the herds but approach close enough to dash to the aid of either Ironhide or Krakjaw.
All Northward Hunters:All this sneaking around is interupted by what can almost be described as an explosion from the shallows of the lake. A huge set of jaws burst from the water. Grasping a Tenontosaurus they and start dragging it bodily into deeper water. They must not have known about the local Longmaw or they would not have gone wading. There is general consternation among the assembled herbivores. The hadrosaurs start making a loud low trumpeting noise which is rather too late to warn anyone.
At A Glance:Charlie went down fighting.
Eastern Hunters are following Charlie's trail and got a nice view from a hilltop.
They saw some really big long-necks.
Northern Hunters are, against Ironhide's better judgement hunting hadrosaur.
A crocodile just grabbed something and all the herbivores nearby are freaking out.
It's about 15:00 in the evening.
The wind is blowing from the NE and it's cloudy.
Everyone is well fed and rested. No one is injured significantly.
