While he had failed to ground or fully stop its chase, Astre had beat the Falcon to the camp and was allowed a moment of quiet before it caught up.
There was a lot going on in the Reghedmen's camp and thus difficult to gather the requested information at a glance — parts of the tribe were inside their tents, while guards, of which Astre could count at least three, patrolled the immediate area. Those were, for all Astre could see, the monstrous kind of tribesman. He counted eight of them in total, with five being inside the camp and one being directly beneath him. The rest looked like proper humans, though many bore spears, axes, and full hide armor. They also had a stash of shields by one of the tents.
The inhuman tribesman below had a short yet billowing tail, red at the base and brown at the ends, hanging out from its cloak and barely long enough to brush against the snow where it walked.
The caged Halfling was being let out by some of the human tribesmen. They had used a hammer to dislodge the pin for the door, and now tied the Halfling — a red-haired, young fellow with a bulbous, or perhaps swollen, face — to a rope by the waist. Then they handed him his own bundle of rope, a trap, a smaller cage.
The irksome Falcon landed behind Astre, cried, and spread its wings to signal its aggravation. The monstrous lookout's head darted upward at the noise, revealing the face of Wolverine beneath its hood. It had, however, only seen the Falcon and not Astre, so thought little of it and continued on its way soon after.
And then the Falcon decided enough was enough and leaped for Astre with its talons.
