"Continue riding normally..." Storm says softly to the group as he sees Ayen returning towards them. "What is it?" He asks once the outrider has ridden up to his side.
"Look back, someone on our trail." He says, pointing back at plume while matching direction and speed with Storm. "Do we ignore them or stop and wait?"
"We'll let them catch up." Storm says with a glance over his shoulder. "No reason to stop, in case they are unfriendly, we wouldn't want them to know we spotted them. If they are friendly, well then we'll see what we see when they catch us."
"Be alert." He calls a bit louder to the group. "Someone coming up from behind, fast, and let's not be caught napping." He continues to ride along though.
"Maybe... I don't know...Should we try to split a bit the group? Some of us could go hide behind a few rocks or tress and attack them on two front if they are not friendly" adds Randy with a small voice.
There is a blur of horses and riders cresting a rise you passed maybe a mile back. There's a fair chance you've been spotted, but they likely don't know your numbers or disposition any more than you know theirs.

"Can Red get us a count?" Storm calls back. He looks over the road ahead, looking for a place where they could wait just the other side of a hill, then surprise those following with an ambush, if they prove hostile.

"Why don't we 'halt' for 'lunch' over to the side here, and some can hide, while the others stay between the horses and this oncoming group. We'll be ready and available to surprise if they're hostile, and they can pass us by if they're harmless,"Patter says, getting a bit more talkative.
Red flies back and returns, the riders throwing up the plume out of view at the moment, but rapidly drawing closer. Red hops up and down furiously on Grandpa's shoulder. It would seem the party coming up behind you outnumbers The Forge by a good measure.

"Let's see... we need a place for eleven of us to hide, including you tall giants and shiny blue-skinned." Ayen looks around him for a suitable spot. He wasn't the best at hiding, but he was quite good at finding hiding spots. That's why he's still alive.
"Good idea." Storm says to Ayen as they relay a good spot. "Everyone get into positions, I think this is going to be some fun, so feel free to let loose if they prove hostile."
You see nothing in front of the party, just the dust trail of someone approaching from behind.

Patter also continues riding, keeping his crossbow at the ready.

"Look for a place to set up an ambush." Storm orders. He is looking to those with high tracking skills (survival) to look for a good place.
"I'm up for giving them a greeting!"
"We should scare them off. Battle formation. And make me huge again!" Bolt laughs loudly, then winks at Ayen.
"Let's see... we need a place for eleven of us to hide, including you tall giants and shiny blue-skinned." Ayen looks around him for a suitable spot. He wasn't the best at hiding, but he was quite good at finding hiding spots. That's why he's still alive.

Bryn will move to the right flank of the group, as his skills rely on mobility and quick action.
