The elf-woman silently nodded at first, paying no mind to the obvious pain that was likely now settling in upon the man who had got himself bit by one of the sizable rats. She did not remain quiet forever, answering the orc's question as he surveyed the handiwork of their group. And although she spoke up, she kept the remainder of what was running through her thoughts about how they brought this on themselves to herself, instead only noting what she knew.

"We disturbed them." At first that was all Tracan said although she continued after walking among the wild grasses and grains, looking over the bodies of the sizable, unusual vermin. The corner of her lip pulled as she thought deeper, accepting that the orc was somewhat right, although not for the reasons he likely knew or understood.

"All of nature is more hostile here too, just some parts of it more than others..." She conversationally changed from being more sobering to being more alert and to the point almost instantly, the tone of her voice adjusting, "If we've seen this many, there's more."

Her intense eyes fell on the rest of them, almost urging them to get moving with their green gaze. She was likely not wrong either, where one saw a rat, there were probably five more, and where one saw five rats and so of course the saying probably went from there. The size of the burrows in the field was a strong indication of such things too, although if these rats all lived communally or not was debatable despite it probably being no coincidence they attacked together. All it meant in the end was that said slain dire rats were likely not the last of their worries.

[Hider=Effects]
Tracan rolls a Knowledge (Nature) (Int) check for the behavior of the rats. Because she has no ranks in the associated skill, she makes a pure Intelligence (Int) check but receives a circumstance bonus for having lived in the [i]Marches[/i] and being a wild elf. While she cannot do better than a 10 due to lacking that skill, she does much better than that on her roll. She notes the most she can and shares that while it is a bit strange, it does not seem [i]too[/i] strange.[/hider]
