Shadowruns take a lot of time -- modules usually represent actions over
several days and nights -- so it's possible the owl flock approaches the
objective at different times.

OK, that's kid of lame.

Personally, I'd roll for each shaman, and follow the results for each
individual. A 50% chance of returning four Runners to the 'house before
they get going sounds fair, too, however.
