You head towards the pond. A nighttime chorus of frogs and crickets seems to get louder as you proceed. The night is pleasant, a cool but not cold temperature, stars in a clear sky, the landscape bathed in soft moonlight. But as you proceed, you become more aware of your small size and vulnerability. Shadows are everywhere. You start looking over your shoulders more. There’s an itch between your shoulder blades and in the back of your mind. Is there danger here?
Everyone please make a perception check. Now would be a good time to cash in on any inspiration you might have too.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
[ Well well, look at that roll! ]
The pond lies ahead, but in the tall grasses a faint rustling noise attracts your attention, and in the shadows you see two great green glowing eyes reflecting the moonlight. Somewhere behind the eyes is a tail going swish-swish. It's Tapdance, bigger than an elephant! She's about to pounce!
Elric yelps as the giant cat advances, instinctively casting Animal Friendship and hoping it saves him from being kibble.
("The beast must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC14) or be charmed by you for the spell's duration. If you or one of your companions harms the target, the spell ends")

@DM would you allow that as a Ranger who may get the skill to cast animal friendship that Nemi might both notice and recognize what Elric seems to be planning? If so, she will reserve her action until after his.
Roll in spoiler if needed with no bonuses added as unsure if arcana, perception, etc. Passive Perception is 15 as is Insight
Tapdance's wisdom save is only a 10, she's charmed! Her muscles untense out of her pouncing stance and he stands up, cocking her head to one side, and she Meows at you curiously. Her attention is focused on Elric.
Nemi (and others), you might not recognize the exact nature of the spell, but you may still be able to tell what's going on anyway as you see Elric cast a spell and then Tapdance's attitude changes.
19 Elric - successfully cast animal friendship
9 Nemi -
9 Horkur -
5 Tapdance - (charmed)

So far so good, with some lucky rolls you've managed to avoid a pretty disastrous situation!
