At least not beyond what the gore-strewn clearing already brought. Even that was surprisingly low, if the mess was centralized and tidied up a bit. Whoever stood watch for the rest of the night would encounter a lumpy, ball-shaped roughly cow-sized creature (http://paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderChronicles/PZO9210-Otyugh.jpg) with a huge, fanged maw and a trio of tentacles, one of which housed its eyes and the other two of which ended in sharp, curving spikes. However, unless actively attacked (even a bit of poking and prodding was tolerated with lazy silence), it ignored the four living humanoids, instead munching away on the corpses as happily as the metaphorical clam. Due to the island's easing of sleep, the noise wouldn't actually get in the way of any individuals determined to get some rest.<br/><br/>As morning approached and the first rays of light struggled to break through the forest canopy, few traces remained of the previous night's battle. The unexpected visitor gave a vague, almost friendly wave at whoever among its erstwhile hosts had awakened and then wobbled off again, its tendrils waving about and scratching at trees as it went.<br/><br/>The lizard, clearly aware of the island's odd role as a sleep aid (and not quite as impervious to said role as it was to the horrible darkness), had gotten some sleep, even suspended by its wounded arm from a pair of trees. It would actually require rousing to get moving, and even then, it moved reluctantly. Still, Aeryn's bindings and stitches held fast, even against the overnight strain of its relaxed body.
