”Grrrr…I coulda done that maself…” Thalron grumbles as he instinctively tries to quell the bleeding before realizing ‘this is the point’ and squeezing the area to produce more blood. First reducing by 4hp and then looks to Fred to see if if he senses that that is enough or should he keep squeezing.
While you are squabbling only those with the highest passive perception would have heard that as soon as Thalron was cut all the sounds that were carried by the wind have completely stopped.
About 500 feet away to the West you hear the brush moving…
(So we have a hill image covering us, is there much else for cover, mainly in the opposite direction or the incoming sound? Distance people might want to run out the back of the hill depending on it size if there is cover back there.)
Progo thinks whatever that is clearly can smell you without needing to see you, perhaps we hide just inside the images edge and strike out from there at it before it "sees" us
…it shrieks again as the bipedal run turns to quadrupedal gallop now 100 feet away. You can barely make out a dark silhouette moving through the trees.…

Fred considers the volume against his instincts (DM, what do you/he think?)

So I am clear: Fred and Thalron are the ones who bled?
AFAIK

About 500 feet away to the West you hear the brush moving…
Twigs start to snap…
…400 feet away now, movement getting closer…
Thalron looks to the others.
”Do you all want to hide? Do you want me to stand as bait?”
He draws Winter’s Dark Bite and faces the direction of whatever is approaching.

…300 feet now. You can hear the footstep plodding toward you
…boom

Progo will creep up to as close to the image's edge with the rapier drawn. Standing away from Thalron a bit if he does the same.
(Does Progo have time to get poison from the alchemy jug and put it on his raiper?)
Yes
…200 feet. Rapidly approaching. You can start to see the trees and underbrush moving…
…150 feet away now, a monstrous roar comes out of the darkness towards you…
Progo will get the poison dipped raiper ready.
"look now, we've got company"
Ready to cast Fairy Fire on the creature if its the Thessalhydra.
Then BA into a Dire Wolf.

Without warning, everything goes quiet.
Out of the darkness a figure leaps out towards Thalron to his North! All he can see is teeth and claws as it fills his entire view
against Thalron’s AC:
To hit: 25
**Oh, shoot!! Nat 20!**
