"May I have some of that?" Magda asked, nodding toward the pipe. There wasn't much for her to do at the moment besides stir the food in the pot. What she wouldn't give for some fresh baked bread. She was starting to feel sad with the memories of good food that they wouldn't see for some time again when they figured out how to cultivate.
"Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn," came the squealing sound again.

Taking another drag from his pipe he watches the two young ones spar for a moment before he passes it to Magda. The old dwarf pushing to his feet and looking at the back of the cave. He walks towards it and places his hand on the stone trying to sink his senses into it. He'd never been particularly strong when it came to magic but he'd had the spark, enough to become a proper ranger, and he was a dwarf. It was hard to nail down how distant the squealing was and he was hoping to sense some vibrations to give him a sense of the creature without moving to disturb it.

Jun of the Celadine
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 305 
Age: 33
Appearance: Jun stands at about 5’ 4”, with a willowy, slightly rectangular build. Her tawny olive skin has lost its flush from constantly wearing cloth armor, and she is dotted with small scars, including wrinkled patches of old burns on her left arm. She has deep brown, slightly hooded eyes and not quite straight dark auburn hair. Her face is still youthful and strong, though her gaze suggests she’s seen way too much for her age.
Equipment: An emerald, muddy long coat-style gambeson. A chrome blue longsword with a rusty hilt. Rusted shackles on her wrists ending in broken chains, giving a false impression that she had been a prisoner; the bracelets are easily removed.
Skills and Abilities: What remains of Jun’s power is a mix of animal friendship and elemental control. She can communicate with and control weaker animals, like insects, and request the help of larger, sentient animals (though they are not compelled to obey her). She can perform subtle manipulations of fire, water, earth, wind, and other “elements” like light and shadow. Her most unique ability is to imbue elemental magic into other life forms and channel her spells through them.
She is a decent cook and survivalist and has a solid academic understanding of agriculture and ecology. She is also a decent sword and hand-to-hand fighter.
Biography: Jun of the Celadine was a stereotypical hero of legend. She was one of Isra's mightiest spellcasters, had gone on dozens of adventures, possessed several powerful artifacts, and helped bring peace to the world on many occasions.
A notorious overachiever and workaholic, Jun had driven herself to near madness pursuing powerful magic. In standard fashion, it was the power of friendship that kept her sane.
Now Jun must cope with the fact that much of the world she helped protect has been lost, and that most of the magic power she had accrued over the years has stopped working.
Her family (whose whereabouts are unknown) was a clan of farmers and gardeners. Her tribe lived in peace and harmony in a mostly forested region. Every two hundred years or so, their people produced a powerful mage and master of all elements. Jun was not this chosen one, but rather her grandmother was. Still, Jun's (somewhat unhealthy) obsession with keeping up with her ancestor made her a pretty close second.
Jun has no regrets about her journey, though she sometimes wishes she had spent more learning other skills, like cooking and dancing. She also feels she made a poor lover, though it's likely her old partners passed away in the floodwaters anyways...

Jun was in the middle of practicing a new spear combo when she heard the creature again and witnessed Duen's reaction. She thought she has an idea of what he was doing, but didn't want to interrupt him to ask. She turned back to watch the depths of the cave.
"Asadrack, give me one sec."
Jun wasn't foolish enough to try to reach out towards the unknown beast with her mana. But instead, she took a deep breath and tried to focus on her surroundings, looking for other native life forms that could possibly help her instead. Insects, rodents, scorpions, maybe even moss and fungi could work.
And no, Basco wouldn't count.

Asadrack had a good form on his stances, he had been using spears for a while, he didn't knew what Düen was doing but wouldn't interrupt, he would wait till he was done and ask.

Magda took the pipe and puffed, reaching over to lazily stir the pot. The sound of the squealing got louder. She looked up and froze. Then she slowly grabbed her staff and pointed toward one of the tunnels. "Maybe we should look."

It takes a moment for his stone sense to kick in but after a moment he gets a feel for it and he grunts pulling his hand away.
"It's coming this way, get clear of the entrance. If we don't get between it and the exit, it might not attack but be ready. They can be damn temperamental."
Considering what it was, it might have tried to gore one of the humanoids but the presence of Basco should put it more into flight mode than fight mode. One of the benefits of travelling with a bear in the woods was that there weren't many creatures willing to fight a bear in the woods. Still, safe rather than sorry. Drawing his bow he knocks a broadhead, he wanted a simple clean kill if it came to it, no need to use a barbed tip to make it suffer.

Before Jun got a chance to commune with Basco's fleas, Duen sounded the alarm. She darted to the side and flattened herself against the cave wall, away from the entrance. Her spear was still gripped tightly in her right hand.
She had flashbacks of the moss auroch. She wondered how quickly she could bring her spear to bear against a charging whatever-this-was' nose if it decided to charge her first. She hoped her spear lessons with Asadrack had paid off.

Flicking his gaze over the two of them Düen is wearing a slightly amused expression.
"Aye, like I said iffin ya don't block the exit she'll leave easy enough. Unless you folks want to try and catch it fer domesticating or what have you."
The old dwarf had known exactly what was coming but had delighted in not explaining it to them, clearly.

Jun awkwardly looked around herself, trying to avoid eye contact with the deadliest fucking face she had ever seen on a mother.
"Ehhh I vote no for now." She said softly. "We're not really prepared for something like that. We can always come back with nets and more people if we wanna capture it and the cubs. And it'd be kind of a waste to just kill her now and leave the cubs abandoned to the elements."
Jun wouldn't even be voicing her thoughts if she didn't remember some advice about talking quietly to let animals know you aren't a threat.

The pig creature sniffed at the air, then charged out of the cave. She would be fine as long as they didn't try to attack the babies or something. The creature and her piglets were gone. "Well now we know there is pork to be had," said Magda quietly. "Perhaps we should domesticate them."

"What did I tell ya."
Düen nods as the pig and her piglets rush out of the cave without any further trouble. Capturing the mother hog would be something worth doing in the days to come but he didn't blame the little group for not wanting to try it at the moment. With that issue resolved for now he settles back in his previous spot and checks on the soup Magda had cooking over the fire. It looked to be almost done.

Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, for some reason, her heart sank.
Without saying anything, she returned back to her spot with her spear. She sat cross-legged and set the spear down on her knees and stared at the point. She would seem a little upset.
Then, as if an idea struck her, she held the tip of the spear out in the rain and concentrated. She kept her eyes closed and seem to really focus on the spear. Very slowly, little crystals of ice began to form on the tip. But they were thin and needly and not much use. She opened her eyes and pulled the spear's tip back to her. She poked the little ice needles. They snapped easily. After a few taps all the ice cracked and flaked off.
"Well, at least they didn't explode." She muttered to herself, barely audible. The barest smirk cracked her lips. Then she spoke to Asadrack. "Oh, sorry, did you want to keep practicing? Or maybe we should eat first."
