"Krakjaw! Come back here! I'd prefer you all in one piece when I lecture you on how much of a Try to convince that suicidal fool to stop attacking before he gets himself and Rainstriker killed.
*Insert name of a notably stupid dinosaur.
"I know what I'm doing! I'm not some hatchling!"
Action amended- scratch the bit about striking. Just jump onto the big one, then jump off.
Krakjaw prepares to leap from one duckbill to the other [for some reason :P ] but he has to wait a few precious seconds for the big one to get closer. During this time the small one he is riding continues trying to shake him off. (Attack 2 vs 4. Fail) (Counter 6 vs 1. Damage 2) Krakjaw digs in his claws deeper. The duckbill hoots in pain as multiple points pierce into the muscles of it's back.
Rainstriker seems unsure what to do but stays nearby as the large duckbill approaches Krakjaw. When the latter judges it to be close enough he leaps. (3) It doesn't go quite as well as might have been hoped. The landing is awkward and he finds himself tumbling as much as jumping down from the big one. (5 damage) But he picks himself up and scampers off (4) toward Ironhide with Rainstriker in tow.
The large duckbill places itself between you and the smaller one and trumpets loudly. The little one moves, somewhat unsteadily, to join it's herd. Ironhide thinks (Cunning 5+1) it might be vulnerable at a later date due to injuries or infection.
Northern Summary:You appear to have successfully disengaged from a fight near a lake a couple miles North of home.
Nearby Critters: Small herd of Hadrosaur including two noteworthy individuals:
Small Hadrosaur: (2 tons) Wounded right-rear leg. Mild Lacerations left-front arm. Moderate Lacerations to front shoulders.
Large Hadrosaur: (4 tons)
Further away some other collections of herbivores.
In the lake a giant crocodile which is busy eating.

(OK, gotcha.)
Hooktoe hooted to call his team over to him, then moved toward the wooded hill with the intent of investigating it for both a place that would be hospitable to his whole clan and good prey, although he'd at least settle for the former.
You choose to veer NW up the wooded hillside. The rest of the team seems content to follow your lead.
You investigate the hill. It's fairly low compared to the mountains visible to the North and East. But walking around on it gives you a better grasp surrounding few miles of terrain. (Sense 5)
To the West is a large low expanse of mixed terrain that contains a number of streams. You also see at least one sizable clearing that reminds you a bit of home. [Potential Nest Spotted] (Cunning 1-1.) [Something about the thought of settling here seems problematic but a terrible roll kept the GM from telling...I mean causes it to slip your mind. :P ]
Forgive the road, it's one of the few in this part of the real world. It follows the course of the river Moonfang caught a glimpse of to the North btw.
Ripmaw plodded placidly after Hooktoe, his earlier fiery passion about not leaving anyone behind vacating him, and leaving him somewhat uninterested and distant. He does, however keep his eyes open for any signs of threats.
You meekly go with the others and them check out the surrounding area from a nearby hilltop. (Sense 4-1) You don't see anything that looks like an immediate threat. You're fairly confident there's nothing on the hilltop with you. You don't see much elsewhere either but there are a lot of trees and hills around. The only visible creatures are some fliers, mostly to the NE. None of which approach you.
((You see the same general terrain described to Hooktoe as well.))
((Sorry. Really, I am. :/))
Moonfang kept in stride, pacing at the rear of the group and right behind Highleap just to ensure the young huntress didn't make any moves...
She looked around at the flora and examined them closely.
"Who's hungry?"
(Sense 5) On the hillside you climb the plant life is standard and not very diverse or dense. The ground here is fairly dry. Most of the plants are trees or tree-like. Some of them have flowers in their branches. Generally speaking to the West the land becomes more lush and you expect you would find damp-adapted plants. To the East there are very few plants visible on the mountainsides. ((If you have a further question about anything nearby I'll try to answer it.))
In addition to the general surrounding terrain described to Hooktoe you also suspect there is a small river in what looks to be a valley running through the hills roughly northward.
Highleap does not do anything that seems odd to you. She cheerfully helps you investigate the area.
General Summary:
Northern Group has disengaged from the attack on the Hadrosaurs.
Eastern Group is getting a view of the area near them.
It's about 16:00 in the afternoon.
The wind is still in the NE.
