Col's heavy panting felt absurdly loud in the quiet that reigned after the monster fled and collapsed. Col swept the area around for any other enemies from where he stood. It seemed the other wolves had left. Col trudged to where the beast's body should have been, every sense feeling hyper-turned to unseen dangers lurking quietly in the darkness. In case the Wolfbourne wasn't finished. All he found was a crater where it had landed, the scorch marks around it, and a lot of ash. Hell they were lucky the stupid brute hadn't set the whole forest on fire, consider how apparently flammable it was. Was it even possible for something like that to turn wholly into ash so quickly, considering that it should have bones and what not? Whatever. He turned back and walked back to his pack, shrugging off what remained of his shield. It was spiderwebbed with cracks true, but it still had a handle on it. Even a half broken shield was better than no shield at all. If they made it to a town without further incident he could see about repairing it or getting a new one. His actions almost mechanical, Col wiped the blood off his blade and checked it for nicks before re-sheathing it. He'd cut mostly flesh so it hadn't taken much damage.

Everyone was still alive except the Hermit and they didn't look physically too bad. No broken bones or missing limbs. Even Merlin seemed as though he had been left alone and hadn't broken his tether. Small mercies. [color=forestgreen]"Well..."[/color] Col's ragged voice, partly from coming off the adrenaline high and partially from exhaustion was still easy to hear in the mostly silent night. [color=forestgreen]"If anyone else thinks they can sleep, we'll still need a watch. And we'll need to move first thing in the morning."[/color] Having said his piece he walked over to Merlin, careful approaching the horse while whispering softly to him and slowly stroking him to calm him down. After taking care of Merlin, and given nothing else happened, Col would collapse on the ground next to the fire and fall asleep. It had been a long day.
