Well, it doesn't look like we have much chance of pursuing...
"Blasted vines!" Liam grumbles aloud as he struggles against their firm grip. Seeing the demon leap away into the jungle in its bloodied state fills him with a sense of mixed relief and dread. Relief that the creature is gone for now, allowing them to regroup, but dread that it is likely very angry now and could show up again when they list expect it.
"Thanks, Chubbs," he replies gratefully when the dwarf comes with his axe to slice away the vines, "I'm glad we weren't ALL caught in those things, or else that demon might not have been so quick to flee."
Once free of the vines, he turns to Nia. "Are you alright?"

"On the upside," Nia commented, "He's not likely to come back till we're stronger." At Liams question she smiled at him. "Yup, though I am admittedly feeling kinda dumb."
Crispy leans down and pick up her missing tooth, shoves it back into the socket - and takes out a rag to nursemaid her swollen cheek and swelling black eye. "Thanks, Chubbs.." She says. She uses the same rag to wipe clean her short swords. She glances over into the jungle scanning it, making sure the danger has passed. She stretches a bit now that everything is calm to work out the pain and soreness.
"Demons and dinos.." She mumbles. "Who knew i'd be in a line of work beating up non-humans...?"
Nia watched Crispy stretch for a moment before commenting "And that's just the Tail Peninsula, imagine what's waiting for us in the body of the kitty."
Chubby: “We still haven’t made it to the ruins yet. I’ll mark this spot on the map with a special monkey pictograph, noting Mr. Scaredy-demon. What a chicken demon it was! Hahaha”. <brrrrrrrrrp> (Chubby let’s out a satisfying burp)
”Oh, and also can’t forget those cute cuddly dinosaurs...”
"I'd rather not think about it." Crispy says. "Kinda makes me wish I was back in waterdeep pushing people around." She catches Nia watching her stretch and makes the movements a little more sultry and obvious.
"He almost ripped us to shreds, you fat wasted drunk." Crispy jokes, wrapping her cloth around her head like a bandana. She groans and arches her back. "Nia, you're got small hands, get this kink out of my shoulder."
Nia gave Liam a quick hug and wandered over to Crispy. "Should we go back to camp to fix up before starting over or make camp here?" She asked the group before starting to rub her shoulder.
Crispy waits for Nia to come over, her shoulder aching, wondering who's elven shoulder she IS rubbing, seeing that Crispy is clearly a human. "Nia?" Crispy calls out, waiting, her shoulder obviously getting lonely - and starting to wonder if there's an elf in the group she's not aware of.
"I'm not sure camping here would be the safest course of action," Liam says as he examines the foliage that the demon appeared from. "The demon got away, and will almost certainly be back before too long. If there's one thing you can count on from a demon, it's their desire for vengeance when slighted."

”Gregor be thinking lightning not be striking twice in one place, demon would think we be stupid for staying in same place, and demon friends look everywhere but here.”

Gregor will then start to help make camp and a (hopefully) above average dinner to cheer up the group with his chefs utencils or whatever that gear was called (I’ll roll a D20 and add prof, and an extra point because of my lucky stone, god I love that thing)
Impromptu feast/cheering up party cook roll: 7
Unless the DM or someone else has something other in mind, Gregor will take the late night guard shift due to his ancestral dark vision, and will be all ready to progress to the next day, (again unless the DM or someone has another plan in mind)
(Edit: Despite his best effort, Gregor makes a almost perfectly average meal. Like it was amazing almost how mediocre it was.)
(Edit 2: tottaly missed all the stuff about Dino steaks, sorry about that. You can either pretend that never happened or Gregor made the steaks almost perfectly average tasting. Just like chicken and all that.)
Crispy takes some dice and bones out of her pocket and proceeds to win some more money off of Chubbs, explaining how to play the game to anyone who is paying attention.
She then proceeds to tell stories of her time on the force, leaving out some more sultry details, or any parts that have her getting beaten to a pulp or losing a fight. One particular story involves chasing an extortionist across many a rooftop in Waterdeep until her and her old partner finally catch up to him, but instead of turning the criminal scum in to the local authorities, they beat him senseless for making them run so much - and then beat him up some more for bribe money - money Crispy used at the bar while the perp lay dying on the roof. She then flashes her scarred knuckles from the fight. He had a lot of jewelry on, and was harder to punch without getting her hands hurt. but it was worth it.
Getting braver, she takes off her leather top, not only because of the heat, but to show the scars on her back and stomach. She's definitely been though many a fight, and was amazing someone so lean yet strong could take such a pounding.
Liam finds a spot reasonably close to the fire to sit down, and pulls out both his spellbook and his notebook. He's going to spend time perusing both, the notebook for any information he might have previously taken down about demon-apes or demons in general, and the spellbook for any spells he might have to could prove useful against such enemies.
He pretty much ignores any attempts at conversation while he's doing that, unless it's Nia asking him a question.
You all hack down some remaining jungle around you to make room for swags and a fire. Dinosaur tastes strikingly similar to chicken, just a little tougher. You’re not sure if that’s just the meat... or Gregor’s cooking ;) None of you rest until late as the heat makes it hard to sleep- you’re sweating and slapping mosquitoes off your arms as you lay on top of your bedrolls. You all hear spontaneous growls, chittering and howls emit from the vast jungle surrounding you.
In order to get a full 6 hours long rest benefits, you may need to take shifts, usually around 4 shifts at two hours each as a long rest lasts 8hours total. Gregor has voulenteered for first watch? If you could please work out watches between yourselves first, (1, 2, 3 or 4) then roll a perception check and your watch number once you’re ready :)
If we have anyone with elf like trance features, you can take multiple watches and not be exhausted.

Last to know and first to be blamed...
As a free action, can I regret my life choices?

“I’m up for camping here! Let’s cook up some tasty dino for dinner.”

"That actually sounds good." she says.

"Yay! Dino steaks!" Nia squealed.

”Gregor be thinking lightning not be striking twice in one place, demon would think we be stupid for staying in same place, and demon friends look everywhere but here.”
Liam looks away from the jungle brush and back at the group, his gaze lingering for a moment over all of the various injuries that have been accrued.
"Alright," he says with a sigh. "I still don't think it's a good idea, but if you all want to we can rest up here."
"Sheesh," Crispy partly smiles, "Party pooper. I'm sure we'll be ok."
"Get to work, Chubbs, we be hungry."
Gregor will then start to help make camp and a (hopefully) above average dinner to cheer up the group with his chefs utencils or whatever that gear was called (I’ll roll a D20 and add prof, and an extra point because of my lucky stone, god I love that thing)

He takes no notice when Crispy removes her top.

"CoS" Rumble- Tabaxi Shadow Monk
Crispy takes the 2nd watch. She doesn't mind. It'll give her time to try and spot bad guys, exercise, and keep her mind off the damn heat and bugs.
