[It's been some time since Anders arrived, though he's been keeping his head down for a few different reasons, at least a couple of them going by the names of Meredith and Sebastian. Scouting out areas and gathering herbs has kept him busy enough, all things considered, and given him some time to adjust as well. But unfortunately this place, wherever it is, is very different from anything he's used to.

The video clicks on clearly by accident after some time spent fumbling around, Anders unaware that he's broadcasting himself to everyone instead of just using text. He's looking quite a bit more battered than usual, his coat torn in a couple of places by what look like claws, feathers missing, and smudges of blood and grime on his face and neck. He's crouched low behind something, trying to keep still and out of sight while also using the odd device.]

any one konw how to get away frm angry cat w bit teeth

[There's a snarl a little too close by and Anders curses, jumping up and bolting from his hiding place, a blast of ice magic fired awkwardly back at the enraged sabre-tooth behind him. He'd really rather not kill it, but he might not have many other options.]

I gave it back, you blighted beast! Your cub is fine, stop chasing me!

[Here, Anders, have someone actually giving you advice.]

Head for the ship. The door will close behind you and you can wait until the cat has lost interest in you.

[Since he's not much use during the daytime in stopping the saber-tooths, might as well do the next best thing.]

Thank the Maker! Finally something useful!

[He'll swing off in the direction he thinks the ship is in. Of course, it's entirely possible he's wrong.]

[Useful is Lyall's middle name. But if Anders is going for video still, then so will Lyall. He peers at the screen for a moment, trying to gauge which part of the forest or fields he's in-- this would be so much easier if these communicators could transmit smell-- then adds out loud,]

Veer a bit further to the right, sir. Follow the slope uphill. You should see the hull over the trees momentarily.

[If he's in the area the werewolf thinks he's in, anyhow.]

[magerights]

You'd better know what you're doing-!

[Anders veers right, but it puts him out in the open more and the cat snarls as it picks up speed and races after him. He turns to try and make some attempt at slowing it further or defending himself, but a swipe catches his side and sends him spinning with a cry of pain.]

[When the camera spins along with Anders, Lyall gets a better view of the area, and he knows he's right. Even though he's never seen it in full daylight like that, those trees are unmistakable, and that bit of mountain in the background. His voice is calm, but confident, as he hurries to get out:]

Make a break for it, just over the hill to your right, and you should see the ship.
