We have water, and a nearby source of food. I think this will be a good location for a camp, at least temporarily.

See if we can make spears or bows out of anything. Ask people what they did for a living.

Make sure someone keeps that fire going! Fire is life. It is food, defense, comfort, and time itself if needed. The guy doing so needn't be skilled at outdoor stuff, but must be competent.

If someone other than the fire watcher is familiar with gardening or farming, have one such individual plant the seeds we have. Once they're planted, this individual should mark the garden off from everything else so no one walks on it. Ideally, there would be a quasi-fence of sticks stuck in the ground or something around the garden.
Our second priority at this time to make a place where we can spend the night without freezing or being totally miserable. Some people should locate a dry hole, nook, or something sheltered by the tree if our current location is damp. They should make sure that it's big enough for everyone to sleep in without being too crowded; if it isn't, they should look for more space. Ideally, we'd have separate "chambers" for men and women, but if we don't have enough big ones, we'll make do. Next, they should gather dry leaves and such and lay piles of them over the harder parts of whatever. Or start at a later step if we've finished the first few. Or check around for other possible living-quarters-to-be. Or adorn our current sleeping areas so they're more comfortable.
Anyone left over or finished with their previous task should try to find more food sources. Rivers with fish, good-sized fruit trees, areas of rich edible flora or fauna, etc.

Survive. Have everyone stay together loosely. Not too close, but not too far as to not be able to help someone else. Make a good bit of noise. Does anyone else have any semblance of a weapon?

The best you have is a man that watched Bear Grylls and Ray Mears whenever they were on TV.
Could we have a name? We have a rusty knife when we'd like a sword, but it's better than the spoons that everyone else is.

'Well, we could try following that road to see where it leads. If there's a town or something, there might be shelter. I wouldn't bank on there being people, given how the road's been left to fall apart. That might be for the best, though, given how large and aggressive all the animals have been thus far...' the man opposite you says.
...
That's a pretty good idea, actually. We should send out scouting parties once we're not going to die within a few days.

Quote
Before long, there's another set of vibrations. And another. And another. You try to keep track of how many there are, but eventually you can't. You counted eight before giving up. And suddenly, a group of these creatures meet up with the individual. A large group. And they begin stalking towards the camp.
Or a few minutes.

kill everything!!!
-1. We have "a couple of pen knives" as weapons. These things sound like wolves, with subsonic communications and possibly larger numbers. We're not going to be able to out-fight them.

Tell everyone to try to head for higher ground. Specifically, up the fallen log or up trees or something. Hopefully they can't climb.
Perhaps retreat up the log and follow Worldmaster's plan?

That sounds good. +1 for climbing up trees/reaching higher ground, if possible.

Shout back! Tear off any spare sticks and unused branches to throw at the creatures!

Attempt to communicate from the trees with the wolf things.

-1, let's think of something less likely to get us all killed.
