Kravek feels the rumble on the ground looking down then realizing its coming from ahead seeing the charging beasts. Without a moments pauze Kravek will rush to the front of the group shouting in giant (using Giant Might).
I NEED YOUR AID ANNAM.
As he takes each step striding forward he grows in size making a bigger leap. He will put his now also larger shield in front of himself while he stays there standing in front of the group giving them a shield and making himself a target for the beasts by trying to goad them with some shouts and bashing his shield with his hammer AARRrgghh.
Kravek will wait untill a rhino is close enough then take a step aside and use his shield to shove the rhino. Trying to block the charge and 'deflect' the charge a few degrees away from the group.
(with advantage from Giant Might: Athletics check 26 vs target Athletics or Acrobatics)
(ooc: kinda feared the roll but oh yeah that went better then expected)
Olive turns into a panther and runs up the nearest large tree. If she makes it to a solid and high enough position she'll use the bonus action to turn back. "Oi! Up here! I'll throw a rope down, be ready."
Rixtonhas been utterly bored for the last two days. He made sure everyone knew about it, too. He was alternately pacing while muttering under his breath, completely lost in the world of insects, the structure of leaves, and engaging in a long, rambling conjecture about the differences between smoke and clouds. When the rhinoceroses appear out of nowhere, a smile creeps back onto Rixton'sface.
"Well, this is interesting," he says.
The rogue slides to the side, drawing his bow and an arrow and firing at the lead animal.
Shortbow Attack: 18 Damage: 5
(if someone is within 5 feet of the lead rhino and it hits, roll 2d6 sneak attack bonus.)
As you all pack up camp for the last time before leaving the mainland you begin your last day's journey until you meet at the rendezvous point. You all start to feel a slight rumble beneath your feet. For a moment Stonespeaker might even think it is his god talking to him again but soon you see three large masses charging right toward you. Three rhinoceroses are charging straight toward you on the trail. They are about 100 feet away now and running side by side.

Kravek puts themselves into the path of Rhino 3 and attempts to shove: 22, which is successful. Rhino3 does not slow it just takes the redirection in stride and runs off to the east of the group.
Rixton times his shot to Rhino 1 just as it gets distracted from Kravek's shove: 8 sneak attack
Kallak and Kai are up!
(Rhino1 has taken 21, Rhino2 has taken 3, Rhino3 has taken 10 but is now running away from you)
Kallak moves up just close enough to the rhinos to cast shatter 10 feet behind them, trying to avoid Kravek in the radius. She uses her Channel Divinity: Destructive Wrath to max her 3d8 thunder damage at 24 if they fail a CON 13 save.
She brings out her battleaxe to have at the ready at any rhinos that get near her.
(Can she look around to see what the rhinos might be running from or running to? And see if anyone else is in the area? Perception: 11)
Kai watches the beasts curiously, wondering how the party's presence caused this stampede. Seeing one simply diverted by Kravek's shove, the rogue now has has even more suspicion something else caused this reaction. He realizes after a moment that his pondering has caused him to look a bit dumbfounded as most of the others have already sprung into action. Putting on an appropriately bewildered and panicked face, he sprints to the tree Olive has scaled, grabs the rope and scrambles up the tree to a better view point.
"Thanks!" He says as he pulls his crossbow but refrains from firing. Instead he scans the area from his new vantage to see what might have caused these creatures to charge, if anything.

Rhino 1 falls dead at the thundering noise. The ground shakes and makes Rhino 2 stumble but it continues to run... Directly at Kallak. Rhino 3 dashes off to the east, now 80ft away from all of you.

Kallak, you cannot see anything in the distance but as you look the last standing Rhino runs directly at you.
Attack: 16 Damage: 13 Charge: 11 DC 15 strength on a hit to avoid going prone
Kallak, after causing thunder to crash down into the charging rhinos, sets her eyes on the one bearing straight down on her. She beckons it forward. "Come on!"
It hits, cracking bones in her arm and shoulder, and she digs her heels in, trying to meet the charge without falling prone (Strength save: 17)
She stays up and looks directly into the rhino's eyes. "Nice hit. But this won't be fun for you."
She calls down Wrath of the Storm with her reaction [When a creature within 5 ft. that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to cause the creature to make a DEX saving throw (DC 13 or it takes 2d8 lightning or thunder damage (your choice), half damage on success).]
6 lightning damage
For her action in the next round, Kallak tries to bring the rhino down with her battleaxe

Rhino2 Dex save 10
As you dig your heels into the ground to take the direct gore from a charging Rhino, you stand your ground and stick your axe in the back of its neck. It staggers but stands. Looking weak. It's eyes looks up at Kallak knowing it will not make it out of this with its life. It becomes scared.

Close up, can Kallak tell whether these appear to be normal, naturally-occurring rhinos? Are there any signs they are arcane in nature, or have worked with people, or anything interesting about them?
Palisade walk up to the rhino and reaches out his hand. The Rhino calms down and closes its eyes. FFBPT! The Rhino falls.
Kai
you look out and you see nothing but flat plains, and kicked up dust from the charging rhinos... Maybe they saw you and thought they'd get a snack. Maybe something from the forest... you look a little further off and there is a hill with a boulder next to it. Dust is settling... this is likely what spooked the rhinos.

"Hey guys! Looks like a boulder rolled down a hill over there. I bet it spooked them and we were just in the way. Unless...You think someone has a 'Conjure Rhinos' spell?" Kai shouts from the tree. He looks down a minute and speaks to himself, "Never seen a spell like that." He climbs down and regroups pulling his lute around.
"The beasts came after us, Mighty and unjust, But we were quick as well, One beast quickly fell..."Kai plucks a jaunty rhythm as he works out how to depict each member's achievements, leaving himself out.

Kallak, hair wild with static electricity, drops to her knees with the rhino and bows her head over it as she catches her breath. "Sorry," she breathes to the huge creature. She grabs her shoulder, grimaces, and with a loud crack, re-sets it.
"Unfortunate. For them, and us," she says to the group. "You were a mighty opponent. You didn't have to be. Would that you'd charged another direction to face another day, another storm,"she says as a brief prayer to Auril, and thinks back on if she knows anything about the useful things that might come out of a rhino to harvest, (survival: 11) and regardless, she does a few small respectful rites over the carcasses. She may take the horn with her axe as a memento of being gored, regardless.
She'd be open to a short rest but is fine moving along on their journey.

Rixton will help on that survival check. (You will have to roll it, rkmobius, as I am on my phone at the airport.)
