Lizards are currently busy chowing down on rotting horse carcass but could work if you wait for them to finish eating before asking.

"Let them eat, they deserve it, they got cranky when hungry " says Val with a smile. " Let's put a rope together I think I can help with moving the carriage "

Once the got the rope ready Val takes a few steps back from his friends and they drop to his knees, transforming in an animal. Nothing new at the start,as they all has seen him turning into a wolf, a tiger, a bear or even a mouse before, but this time, the druid's form start to grow , as a thick brown fur covers his entire body. He soon stands as tall as three feet and a pair of giant antler's  came out from his head. 

In mere seconds, where the druid was, there is standing a big elk, ready to be strapped to the carriage to pull it.

....oof.

Is it too late to rage and do that with advantage? 

(No need. Val's wildshape will be enough to push the carriage over)

Thanks to Val's massive size compared to the carriage helps him pull on the cart more easily. The others now make sure the cart tips over instead of being dragged across the bank. The carriage creaks loudly. The loose sawdust and the dirt that had gathered on the body of the carriage is shaken off as it slowly begins to move. It first moves up right and then easily falls over again thanks to two of its wheels being missing. With a crash and a cloud of dust, the broken carriage tips over once again. This time the bent but still "Mendable" wheels are facing up and  can now be removed, repaired and attached to the Party's Lizard Carriage.

Success. What do you do now?

Elsara watches in awe of the enormous beast that Val transforms into. "Oh wow, that's so cool!" She says, half distracted by the nature magic, before getting back on point. "Oh, right, so you said they crossed the river, right? Well, we can either try and fix the carriage and find a crossing or make our way across and follow by foot."

Devarus is at a complete and utter loss of words. Long ago, he heard stories from his mother regarding her surface kin, and their connections to some fantastically sized beast before. But this would be his first time seeing such a majestic and truly awe inspiring figure. It is not until almost a full minute after Elsara pokes the group's for a course of action previous to him coming back around again. 

"That is, uh, difficult to say. Considering it appears he's crossed over into the deeper section of the forest, it would be best to continue after him by foot. But, if we can get those wheels at least removed and in position to be fixed fairly quickly upon our return, then we should at least do so... So! Ms. Ruu and Ms. Eslara.If you would be so kind as to assist-..." He said, and with their combined efforts, he hoped to at least get the wheels removed set up beside their own carriage.

Afterwards he was ready to follow, but would continue to glance in Valwyrn's direction so long as the elf remained transformed. 

Once the carriage is freed and their friends begin the reparations Val changes himself again, from the bulking Elk to the more common to their eyes firm I’d the white wolf. He trots to the other bank of the river and tries to pick up scents. Specially that of the noble.

The river is wide though this section of it is safe enough to cross on foot. Val carefully crosses it in wolf form and sniffs around for traces of the noble.

Rolling Survival check for Val: 20

It doesn't take Val too long to pick up the noble's trail. The scent is not very strong at all as it has faded with time. However, Val does find a trail of the noble. A combination of footprints, ruffled branches and grass that has been stepped on. Val quickly deduces that the noble has gone somewhere southwest.

Valwolf guides the others towrads the direction.

Monsoon 12
Time: 11:30 PM
Location: Row10 Column7

The journey through the forest on foot is a long and tiring one. After traveling for almost 36 hours (with enough rest in between so as to not exhaust). The party reaches a part of the forest that is a bit strange. There is a weird mist. The sounds of wolves can be heard in the distance as well as the screeches of bats. Odd, given bats are mostly active during the month of Spring. The trees in this area seem a bit odd as well. Dark, splintery wood that a twists around slender stem. The trees have long branches, almost giving them the look of giant bushes though their leaf density is very low. It is very dark as at this part of the month, it is closer to a moonless night. The tracks are strong in this region.

Roll perception.

"Starting to see why my mother advised -against- going beyond the river. But, what could of have possibly possessed our distressed friend to actually cross this far into it?" He asked aloud, but without any expectations of an answer. Rather more wary now, he looked about in anticipation of danger around any corner or twisted tree about them. Which is also why he kept his longbow in hand.

Perception: 20.

Deva sees small flickers of yellow light somewhere in this distance. It seems like the light of a torch or a lamp of some kind.

"Woah... this forest is amazing. I've never seen one like this before." She looks to Val. "Hope it's all normal, let us know if something feels off." She pets the fuzzy fur of the large wolf friend.

Perception: 23

"That's strange..." Devarus mumbled to himself. "Ms. Ruu.. everyone. Can you see that, actually? I think... it's a light?" He raises a hand and points towards the source. "Some kind of... torch maybe? Could be our missing noble, or.... hmm...." He turns to Val and adds, "Up for a bit of scouting ahead, friend? Just, uh... if it is our missing noble, perhaps come get us before you spook him. I cannot imagine being this deep for any length of time has exactly been a pleasant time for him."

( Can Val roll Nature to see if this is unusual as it seems ? Nature: 23 )

Val stands looking aorund, sniffing the air as if he was still on his wolf form.

"There' ssomething strange in the air... "

Runt looks to where Deva points. Can she see the incoming light?

@Val: The light is not from any natural source. It seems like it might be a light from a torch or a lantern or a lamp. This part of the forest does not seem natural either. There's something strange about the vegetation here. It's like something warped them.

@Runt: Now that Deva has pointed it out, yes, she can see it.

(Before answering as Elsara, I'd like her to make a check to see if she knows of supernatural lights that could be deceiving.)

Arcana: 12

(Edit: apologies, should be 1 lower. Only have +6 to Arcana.)

I mean... there are things like the Light Spell, Dancing Lights, Will 'o Wisps, Continual flames.

You passed the check either way. Can you be a bit more specific on what is a "Supernatural light"? Then I can give you more info about it.

(More checking about eerie forest with lights could mean stuff like will-o-wisps, or illusory witchery. Not sure if it's setting specific or not, so would rather do the check before spouting something out.)
