Usul is riding along on Muad, while Duncan flys above. ((Usul perception 22 ; Duncan perception 13 - though he's mostly looking at things around, not specifically for marks in the grass or anything.))
While riding, he starts to make conversation with Sen, saying "It's great that you've got a little friend as well! What's his? her? name again? Duncan and Muad here are getting along great... but..." as he reaches into his robe and pulls out a small grey mouse with a nicked ear, wearing a small piece of cloth as a cape "Dib here... he is still a bit untrusting of the owl. But he's opening up."
Sen's Perception: 15. Nipper's a boy. I think he trusts me; he usually does what I ask him, though he doesn't really speak, it's more I get a feeling for what he's feeling. He sends Nipper to scamper up Usul and try to make friends with Dib. I don't want to scare Dib; weasels do sometimes eat mice, but Nipper doesn't really eat anything so Dib is perfectly safe.
"Crush need animal..." The orc would say under his breath as the others make use of their companions. "The heavily armored orc would stomp around the sight... kicking up tufts of grass and clouds of dirt as he looks for anything that might be laying on the ground. He is also hoping for any kind of small animal that he could pounce on to claim as his own pet.....
Crush kicks through the grass where the camp used to be. Give me a nature check. Regardless of what that roll is, he finds some garbage left behind by the people who were here before - some animal bones, burned bits of parchment, nothing useful.
Sen is able to spot the rope that was probably used to hang Sunkx, a thick braid hacked off about 15-18" from the branch, waving in the breeze. The rope isn't too discolored yet from exposure to the elements, so it must be the one.
Usul is able to spot what was probably the noose itself in the tall grass.
Aria is able to find a crate hidden in the grass. There are some empty bottles in it. Underneath the bottles are some maps of the city. There's a rolled up bit of parchment inside one of the bottles.
Duncan hoots and Dib and Nipper both hide. Something is nearby.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Noticing the animals sense something approach, and see Crush ready his weapons, Usul jumps off Muad, pulls a bit of fleece from his pouch and mumbling a quick incantation creates the illusion of a barrel next to the tree around himself. He then pulls his crossbow out, and tries to remain quiet ((stealth 12)), while watching to see what happens.
Aria being alerted by the animals quickly pulls out BULLSEYE and knocks an arrow, ready to let loose. She quickly tries to scan the area to see if she sees or hears anything
The animals burrow in to their handlers for protection, and the party immediately throws up its defenses. Usul vanishes. Crush, who had been stomping through the tall grass oblivious to everything, draws his axes. A flash of magical energy sizzles around Sen as he armors up.
A large lizard, approximately six feet long, emerges from the grass. It's got long, curved claws on each of its feet. It rears up to attack the party (it cannot see Usul).
Aria will follow the directions that the guard gave them, making a mental note of the locations of the camps for future reference.

"Ive heard it both ways."
Sen is following Aria, enjoying the fresh air and trying not to get eaten by nature.
The party gives the orcs a wide berth, and the trip to the site indicated by the guards is uneventful.
There is no sign of the camp that had been here previously. The path is worn, the grass growing tall where the camp had been.
Perception checks, please.

Aria grabs the maps and the parchment and puts them in her pouch. Would Aria recognize what's going on with Duncan and the other animals?

Sen calls Nipper back to him and whispers Something's nearby.

upon hearing Sen, Crush would draw both battle axes and quickly look around for approaching threats

Sen tries to find somewhere inconspicuous at the back, and casts Mage Armor on himself.

"Crush find pet!" he would say pointing an axe towards the lizard!
Initiative! 15
Crush, get ready! shouts Sen.
Initiative: 18
"Crash ready for pet!" he would say with a grin, holding both battle axes in his hands tightly as a grin spreads across his face.
