After sending the message, Deneb quietly brushed herself off and stretched her legs. Jumping so high so many times in a row was obviously abnormal, but to not receive any harm form doing so left more questions than it answered. While she wasn't going to question the logistics behind being able to effectively fall the equivalent of a few stories in height repeatedly and come out unscathed, it still bugged her. Physics were [i]weird[/i] here.

Viri's comment snapped the ninja out of her own mental tangent, though, and a chill immediately ran down her spine as the sound of animals moving [i]towards[/i] then immediately caused Deneb to glance in the direction of the wolf.

"We're upwind? Oh, this is going to be [i]miserable[/i]," she cursed, glancing around the rest of the area in a quick attempt to make note of the actual terrain. With a distinct lack of cover or any ways to funnel the incoming enemies, there only seemed to be one option.

"Time to run. If we get flanked and surrounded, we're almost certainly going to die, and I don't want to test any theories with our necks on the line," she said, pulling out a 'Return to Town' scroll... Only to remember that the presence of field bosses negated the usage thereof entirely.

With a frown, the ninja put it away and, taking the healer by the arm, began to run back towards town. If worst came to worst, they could force combat in the hilly terrain closer to town and and use that to their advantage... But, well, that was under the assumption that they could make it back in the first place.
