[it's Carac who finds him first, face twisted in a sort of panicking anger, and he remembers Bellamy like they all do. following him leads Bellamy to the rest of them - grouped together, all with weapons drawn, backs against the trees for some and Lilias spelling an area for protection. they're frightened, that much is to be expected from a complete surprise attack, but to their credit they're together and not losing their heads. what matters is first figuring out if anyone's in the area - no one saw the ring used, felt anyone, but it's powerful stuff if it cut through the protections.
Grell isn't far behind. her pain coursed through her shoulder and all she'd grabbed was her sword before she left. the forceful magic pushes through, smothers flame under pressure, and she's not bothering to tone herself down until she sees them, can take stock of them to see if they're injured (minor, if anything).
it's Lilias who comes up with something first.]
...Ascelyn with Bellamy, Carac with the Lady. Scan the damn area, now.
