Shalandra waits until this creature is determined hostile.
{if this creature is determined hostile she will charge Shalamar towards it and hack at it}

Subject: Re: Earthdawn PBeM BN 4.0 The party departs
Farli slows her horse to a stop and stretches taller to gain a better
view of the beast approaching them. She doubts that it is friendly
judging by the speed it is racing towards them. She strains her eyes
to catch a proper glimpse at the beast to determine what it is.
<ooc>Mark, Farli will use her skills Creature Lore & Wild Animals and
if she knows what the beast is she will warn the others.
