"Iago, stay close. We don't know what dangers that linger..." With his snake-staff in hand, Jafarweaves something in the air trying to feel traces of magic. Iago lands on a branch a fair bit away and starts to peck on some fruit on a tree.
No one tracks like Gaston! He flexes with every point of his finger, directing the others’ attention to the details broken branches, and disturbed flora that point out other paths taken through the woods.
Auto you are somewhat distracted by all the corrupted vegetation, a reminder of all the ways you were unable protect your charges from the deceit of toxic life.
Jafar and Frollo, you don’t see any bone charms, or pentagrams or anything obvious, but you get a clear sense from every tree and shadow: no matter the appearance of sunshine or happy critters.
Ursula, speaking of happy critters, your attempts to move quietly are met with the attention of a deer. Sort of pleasant, really. Then a rabbit. Then four rabbits. Then birds.
The rest of you are catching onto the strangeness of the animals. They have closed in around you, and their eyes begin to glow red, as Hans draws his weapon.
Everyone but Hans, roll initiative for your battle against the demonic hordes of bunnies, birds, and deer.
At the sight of the deer and the first rabbit, Ursula smiles delightedly at the woodland creatures. "Oh hello, dearies! How did you know I was just missing my little moray boys and needed some company? The two of you are just adorable!"
Her smile dims slightly as four more rabbits appear. "Well... I always say that animals really are just more perceptive than people. The more the merrier! What harm could a few fluffy bunny friends do..."
As the birds descend, her expression changes to fear. After her encounters with the razor-billed gulls commanded by Ariel, she had a certain distrust of birds. "Alright, alright. Now this is just too many! Look out!" She shouts in alert to the party.

"Iago! To me. It seems these critters don't just fall into the cute and cuddley category..."Readying his staff, its eyes aglow, Jafarprepares... Awwrk! They're demons! Iago flaps to his master's shoulder.
GO4, prepare to rend these meat creatures. Show them the soul of steel. Auto readies his crossbow. The device racks and loads itself automatically in his hands. GO4 rumbles like a diesel engine, growling in a display of dominance, oil dripping from his hinged jaws.

Hans strides forward, then a shadowy figure that looks identical to him, forms between him and the animals. That shadowy form glides forward and lashes out at the animals with a greatsword... Striking out twice.

GO4! Attack! Auto levels his repeating crossbow at a cuddly demon creature and fires.
Attack: 20 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
GO4 runs to a creature and rends it with his force empowered jaws.
Attack: 21 Damage: 8
(OOC: I think GO4 just rolled his first nat20. They grow up so fast.)
Hans’ shade wades into the swarm of rabbits and chipmunks, swinging his sword., and scattering the blood of the wicked with every stroke.
Auto’s crossbow misses, but GO4 latches onto a wren swooping down and crushes it in his powerful jaws.
Gaston (bow? Gun? Whatever, feel free to flavor it as a gun) shoots a demon deer like only the best hunter can, bringing the beast down.
