Ink can see the approaching figure that Flint pointed out, now about 50 yards away and closing even as it is pelted by the rain. In the heavy rainfall (and at this distance) it's hard to make out any features, but Ink sees multiple legs as they splash on the rain-soaked ground. It looks like the figure is just coming off the road and heading straight for you.
// As for the long rest, no, it hasn't quite been 4 hours. //
It looks like one form moving on multiple limbs—you might guess four. It's definitely more than two. Any more detail will certainly become apparent in a matter of seconds.

//I "forgot" thaumaturgy when I reskinned Flint//
"Lad, don..." Flint has only a moment to register what just happened. He pulls his handaxe and hurls it through the upstairs window he was guarding earlier, aiming to break the glass and embed the blade into the sill. 23 Flint then charges into the rain trying to catch up with Ink.
// @Marav, the firebolt isn't loud enough or bright enough to rouse you, especially separated as you are. //
Seeing the bolt go wide, Ink tries to play it off by yelling in Giant, "STOP! You've been warned!"
The form rears up and comes to a halt after Ink's firebolt narrowly misses it, and you hear a sharp, horse-like bray.
"HEY!" You hear a voice calling through the downpour. It's heavily obscured by the torrents of rain hitting the ground, but it sounds human. "WATCH IT!"
As he ambles into view of your darkvision, you see the rain outlining the figure of a mounted rider wearing a heavy cloak. His horse is stamping its feet and shying away from you.

The handaxe shatters the glass window, which has the potential to rouse then others in the inn (if you guys would like to be woken by this, you're awake!).
Marav awakes with a start at the breaking glass, grabs his long bow and knocks it on the way to the window. He aims down through the window looking for enemies.
//I assume I will see the rider via darkvision? He is gonna hold his attack until he figures out what is going on.//

"Oh shoot." Then stammering, "Sorry about that! Things bit on edge recently. I owe you an apology and an ale."
Flint runs into the hut and alerts Ink, hoping he can find a way to rouse the others. //how large?//

//haven't summoned quill yet right?//
// multiple limbs and big? I have the feeling I know what it is.... //
"Flint, when I drop the hut, make your voice boom yelling just one word: troll."
Ink takes hold of his scimitars, formulates a cantrip in his mind, takes a breath and steps out of the hut, causing it to instantly disappear.
He raises a blade at the figure and a fire bolt speeds towards the hulking shadow.
Attack: 10 Damage: 8

“What’s going on? What’s happening?”
Angel asks as he is startled awake by the sound of breaking glass.
