The cave is dimly lit in the morning. A guard lays slumped against the cave wall after nodding off in his post. Prisoners are also slumped against the back wall with rags serving as blankets. In a secondary cave you can see three people in bedrolls around the embers of a campfire. A guard dog lays in front of this cave, hear perked.
Silene defy slips into the cave morphing into a small bear. With a simple low growl the guard whimpers and become submissive to suddenly appearing bear. The dog scampers up to Silene with a tail between it's legs and ears back to lick the bear in the face. Octavius deftly follow Silene, using the bear form to hide his movement. Dalia tracks near the horses, startling one of them to wake with a annoyed neigh.
The sleeping guard's eyes snap open, loudly snorting
"Bear? Shoo! Go! Cave Occupied. Wait who are you? "
