"The first thing I can note is that this creature doesn't act like any large cat I have ever encountered."

Megan begins immediately, as if she had been holding in the words since they got here.

"That branch is too low. Most cats take their meals much higher as they are most vulnerable while they eat and want to avoid another creature coming to take their meal. Whatever this creature is, it looks to be pantomiming what a feline would do without actually understanding it."

"Also, I don't think it actually knows how to climb a tree."

Wraith chimes in as Megan finishes her thought. She stands at the base of the tree

"These claw marks look completely haphazard."

Megan walks over to give the tree a closer examination. She does little to avoid the trickling water at the base of the tree.

"Is it just me, or is it a bit odd that it would pick a tree in the middle of a waterway?"

Welcome to The Misfits

A'ramis felt oddly amused. "You know, you don't have to wait until I ask you something to say what you think. I agree, I don't think it's a cat. As for knowing how to climb a tree...I've seen worse. It also might not be trying to climb - or look like it's climbing - at all. The marks could have an entirely different purpose. I've seen them used to mark territory before. Depending on the intelligence of this creature, it could have set up a warning on purpose, including the bones." The water was strange though. "Do you know where this stream comes from? Perhaps it needs the water and not the tree."

Welcome to The Misfits

Wraith winks and gives A'ramis a thumbs up.

"Well, the whole point of this mission is to see how well you'll fit in with The Misfits. So, we can't do all the thinking for ya!"

"More importantly, there are no lone-wolves in the guild."

Megan doesn't look up from the map that she is now looking at with a critical eye.

"The world has turned its back to us, so we must learn to trust each other if we are to thrive."

"'Thrive' is the key word there, A'ramis. Surviving is something we all have had to do alone. But to truly live, people need a community."

Wraith smiles warmly at A'ramis.

"The river comes from the nearby mountains and travels through mostly untamed wilderness forest. However, there is a note about ancient ruins within this forest. It would be reasonable to believe that these ruins may be adjacent to the river."

A'ramis might have responded to being a lone wolf, as that wasn't actually what he'd tried to do, but the mention of ruins made him stop and look at the water. "Ruins... depending on what's in them it could be the draw to the water. And possibly why this creature is so odd to begin with. How far would you say they are?"

"The map doesn't say. Just a mention that it exists. In fact, most of the forest here is uncharted on this map."

Megan raises an eyebrow and looks up at A'ramis.

"But I'm not against adding more detail to this map."

"Ummm, we probably ought to take care of the creature first."

Welcome to The Misfits

A'ramis wasn't sure the two weren't connected, but he might be able to get a better answer from the plants. "The creature is odd, right? Perhaps it originated there. Which means that area might have answers. Might not too." He crouched down once more to touch the ground and talk to them. "This creature, why does it choose this spot? Did it come from upriver or somewhere else?"

He has Wasted Time as well

Welcome to The Misfits

"Too late! Here. Here! Here. Approaches! Danger!"

A'ramis barely has time to finish his spell before he is it with a cacophony of many different floral voices. Looking around, A'ramis notices two things immediately: one, he can't see whatever is causing the plants to freak out; two, neither of his companions seems to be aware of the danger.

OOC:

A'ramis has gained a Plot Point (PP) as he rolled a 1 (hitch) and gained a complication "Unseen Hunter (d6)". I looked over your character sheet and noticed you hadn't filled out the SFX for your distinctions, so here are a list of ways you can spend PP:

*activate an SFX
*add another attribute or skill to a roll
*create an temporary asset (d6) for the scene
*stay in the fight (if you would get taken out)
*activate an opportunity (when I roll a 1, this would allow you to step down a complication, step up a temporary asset)

If you need help with setting up some SFX for A'ramis, we can talk in the OOC.

Welcome to The Misfits

A'ramis pulls off his hood to use his ears properly at the same time as he slams the palm of his left hand onto the ground. His eyes shift from their pure red to contain flecks of different colours as he works through a hopefully adequate response. "Defend us, trap it." As he gives the basic instructions verbally, he envisions a possible response - a wall of solid ground, a pit for the creature, a burst of growth to entangle and restrain it. He's never quite sure what will be chosen, but as he feels the scars over his heart change to crystal he hopes it will be as effective as he needs. Doing this more than once in succession was not a good idea.

OOC:

Intelligence to form the plan quickly and to get it across in a short time, Magic-Casting as he is actively working to manipulate the world around him, Feline-like additions as he is using those senses (specifically hearing) to locate the creature/where nature does something, and Nature's Blessing as that is the ability he is tapping into (which triggers unstable as crystal forms on the scars over his heart in response)

I see this happening quickly, so I didn't post him warning the other two as he probably wouldn't have time in this span of a few seconds while he gets this done. That would be happening next though

Welcome to The Misfits

A'ramis's words are quickly followed by the sound of tree branches crashing into the nearby forest, southwest of your position. At the same time, ground foliage quickly grows tall around the clearing.

"Where is it?"

Megan snaps as she deftly draws her spear into a ready position. Wraith quickly takes position next to Megan and pulls out a wand.

The three pairs of eyes scan the darkness, but the forest and night obscure the scene. Only the sound of crashing branches can be heard.

Welcome to The Misfits

His ears flicked around as he stood up in an attempt to pinpoint where the thing may be. He kept himself as much in the same orientation as he could, to attempt to eliminate his own movement messing up his directions. A'ramis readied his bow, the crystal it seemed to shimmer with different colours once he griped it in his hand. A string of light formed, but he still did not reach for any ammo. Or even have any. His main focus was to find the thing. "I've got southwest so far, but I might be able to narrow it down."

OOC:

Wisdom, as he's using instinctual senses, knowledge - understanding to know what anything he notices means, and feline-like additions as he is using those senses.

Welcome to The Misfits

A'ramis couldn't get a visual indication of what was happening, the magical growth around the clearing his line of vision, but he could where the action was happening. His ears were also telling him that the spell failed to trap the creature and that it was now moving east. If A'ramis had to guess, the creature was attempting to approach the clearing from another direction.

Also, the magical trapping spell was no longer making enough noise to easily track the creature.

"It's moving east, and started out southwest, but it's moved enough I can't hear much of it anymore. It certainly doesn't like that we're here, so it might try from another direction." A'ramis told the other two what he could as he kept attempting to find it by sound. Even if he could warn them which direction was dangerous that could help.

Welcome to The Misfits

Megan and Wraith turn and face the east in near unison, but it is obvious to A'ramis that they cannot detect the creature's movements. Luckily, a nearly imperceptible sound catches his ears and he is able to hone in on a specific direction. It is at this moment that A'ramis catches a small glint, like an eye, of a creature through the darkness and foliage.

OOC:

The spell is no longer assisting in detection, so if you lose track of the creature, to find it again, will be a Survival skill roll instead of Understanding.

Also, A'ramis has his bow ready, so he could technically take a shot right now, if he wished.
