I'll give these creatures a different name. Other than their name, there is nothing too special about them to make them unique for any one source of material. 

 I explained my reason before, but if the GM doesn't want it, then it's fine. But it goes deeper than that. I don't like sitting around and making a post that merely recaptures the same things that all the other characters saw. I want to add something to the story, throw a challenge in for people to tackle on, or just spice things up in general. In a very youthful sense of it, I want to make something happen. 

A fight right now would do just that, especially since some of us are severely wounded (The alunei), while the others have horses or ponies on top of them. I see this as a perfect opportunity for our characters to really struggle and pull through.

But that's just my creative juices talking. If you guys want to follow the story that's fine by me too.
