((I am assuming that Quinta stayed at the shack, which-- if I didn't make it clear-- is on stilts.  On your initiative roll post, please pick either this or halfway to the house.  OR, you can roll an acrobatics or climb (ACP applies) to make it all the way to the door... DC 15))<br/>Where Tak lies in wait, a pair of long legs go thudding by him at a full sprint.  He can feel the ground tremble under a half-ton of weight with each lunging stride {A}.  Another is right on the first's heels, having slowed slightly for a moment (probably as it navigated to leap the irrigation trench {B}.  He can hear their breathing, like a boar after a fight, but bigger... heavier breaths.<br/>(http://i.imgur.com/aLlPb.jpg)<br/>Something erupts from the brushy cane and begins sprinting for the house {C}.  A half-second later, another emerges closer to the shack {D}, then a third erupts from the west flank {A}.  The group has only a moment to piece together what they are-- massive, bipedal birds, with heavy bodies and long necks held low while they run.  Their pinion-feathered heads are as big as Tak, thanks to their massive beaks-- clearly the most menacing aspect, their beaks are hard bone, downturned to a hook-like tip.  Their cruel, glassy eyes face the front of their skulls to aid them in judging distance-- the true mark of a predator.  They run with stubby wings extended for balance only, their heads forward and low like they are ducking a wire.  They are large creatures.<br/>Updated map (http://i.imgur.com/T1yA9.jpg)
