*The mother beast with her head already facing Ishikawa would turn the rest of her body and leap toward him with her jaws wide open. As the abyss of death approached Ishikawa's arrows would sink into the mother's open mouth. A loud gurgling sound would be heard as the mother continued to tumble over toward Ishkiawa's directions before colliding with him, knocking him prone. The mother would twitch for a few moments before laying still, her eyes now glazed over.*

*As for the cubs, Kibaru's first swing would sink deep into the beasts side and it would yelp out in pain. However, its hide would prove itself to be thicker than that of a usual tiger, making it difficult for Kibaru to pull his Odatchi back and stab again, giving the cub plenty of time to avoid it with ease. Taking advantage of the opening, all three of the cubs would pounce and attempt to claw and bite away at his body*

*Ishikawa instinctively reached for another arrow and let it fly as he realized his companion was about to be mauled severely, aiming for one of the cubs neck before he fell to the ground.*

*Unfortunately for Kibaru, the onslaught of bites and claws would prove too much to fully evade. Pain would shoot up his body as the cubs tore away at his flesh. A cub would reach out and attempt to claw away at Kibaru's neck, however an arrow would zoom past Kibaru's head and into the cub's eye, causing the claw to instead come down across his face. The cub wouldn't even be able to yelp out in pain as it fell to the ground, killed on the spot. The other two cubs would turn to face where the arrow came from and hiss upon seeing Ishikawa, fear as well as anger clearly in their eyes*

*Screaming out in pain and anger, Kibaru would instantly enter a berserk state and lash out at one of the cub, showing no mercy*

*Taking the time to stand up, Ishikawa quickly surveys the situation they are in. Kibaru is heavily injured, two cubs remain. Taking an arrow from his quiver, he breaths in deeply, drawing his bowstring back as he focuses on his quarry. As he releases the bowstring, he exhales, the arrow flying at the cub Kibaru had not yet damaged.*

*The cubs would also lunge Kibaru at the same time he went berserk. Perhaps due to being young and having a ton of adrenaline in their blood from their fight or flight response, they leaped at such incredible speeds that they almost looked like a blue. Their claws would attempt to tear into Kibaru's side while also avoiding both of his swings as well as Ishikawa's shot*

```
All attacks missed on cubs

Judith
*Realizing these creatures were going to be a tougher fight than he originally thought, he let loose yet another arrow, not allowing his resolve to be broken.*

*The arrow would fly toward the cub, but the cub with its lightning reflexes would swat it away mid-flight, clearly unamused by it*
Mary
*Probally from being berserk, Kibaru would yet again attempts swinging at the same cub not caring much for the outcome anymore*

*Realizing that his arrows weren't going to be as effective on the cubs as he'd hoped, Ishikawa swapped from his bow to his hunting spear, bracing himself. Rushing quickly at the beast while it was distracted with Kibaru, he'd lunge at it, charging. Once he had hit it once, he'd pierce it once again, aiming in-between the ribs of the beast, hoping to hit the heart.*

Wilbert
*The cubs would easily dodge kibaru's half-hearted swings and continue to bite and tear away at him. However the cub he was swinging at, being distracted by Kibaru's swing would find itself impaled by Ishikawa's spear. It would struggle a bit, trashing about while squealing in pain before eventually going limp. The remaining cub caught off guard but also terrified by its sibling suddenly would only be able to land one blow across Kibaru's back before turning to face the woods as if preparing to flee.*

*With the beast seeming like it was about to retreat, Kibaru would unleash all hell and anger out upon this poor frightened creature*

Judith
*Blood stained his face and hands as he wrenched the spear out of the cubs hide, stepping back. As a hunter, he shouldn't be winded, but his breathing was heavy as he charged once again towards the last remaining cub, using his body weight to force the spear into the creatures side. He thrust the spear towards it a second time, stabbing towards it.*

Wilbert
*Kibaru's all out blow would cut deep into the cub's side, causing it to screech out in pain. However, like last time, it would be caught in its thick fur, proving it difficult to pull out, which allowed the cub the pull away and run toward the forest. It's speed proved too fast for Ishikawa to catch up, thus his charge and thrust would fail to hit its mark*

```
Cub takes 23 dmg
Kibaru is still bleeding
Cub flees

Judith
*Not wanting to let Kibarus damage be for nothing, Ishikawa ran after the creature as fast as his legs would allow him to. Whatever these beasts were, he didn't want to allow them a chance to reproduce and cause more damage farther down the line. No. It would end here.*

Wilbert
*The beast would attempt to flee for it's life, but would find itself outmatched by the skilled hunters pursuing it. The Odatchi and boar spear spear would impale its side and just like its sibling it would be met with a painful squirming death*

*It would appear the hunt was over. All that was left was the carnage left by the beasts as well as the beasts as well.*
Mary
*Kibaru would draw his blade out of the Cub and slash his sword to the side checking the blade's still in one piece. He would then sheath it and fall to his back, breathing heavily and feeling exhausted *

*After about 10 minutes he would stand up* "Right, guess I should start by skinning the mother" *And so he would do just that*

*After which he would search the wreckage for anything valuable*
Wilbert
*Kibaru would not have much difficulty skinning the pelt off the mother. As for the wreckage, the caravan appeared to be transporting dried meats and pottery, all of which had either been shattered or eaten through. The bodies of the merchants though would still have their coin pouches, though they would be ripped torn open with the coins spilled all over the ground. It would take some time, but altogether Kibaru would find a total of 1181 silver pieces as well as their lockets with portraits of their loved ones and or wedding rings*
Mary
"Excellent, this is precisely why keeping treasure such as these lockets are a good idea. Their families will rest better knowing they were avenged" *Kibaru said feeling a bit sick before moving away to get some fresh air before he would vomit*
Judith
*Once the adrenaline had worn off Ishikawa would dispassionately remoce the spear from the cubs side, hunching as he began to clean the blood from the tip. Sweat ran down his face, mixing with the blood as it trailed down. His body ached from the mother falling upon him, but it was nothing compared to the phantom pains in his scarred arm. 

Taking careful note of the battlefield, he stepped cautiously through the wreckage, beginning to skin the remaining two cubs. He spent the same amount of time as Kibaru, but was far more careful, making sure the pelt was clean. He moved on to harvesting the claws, then turned to the mother, taking note of her anatomy. Something that might tell him what the cause of her strangeness was.

He hasn't noticed Kibaru picking through the wreckage whilst he was observing the mother, however, when he stood back up, his face scrunched in disgust. He didn't see Kibaru picking through their belongings as the noble act he seemed to think it would be. Turning towards the direction of the village, he took note of the time, now wild hair falling into his face. He began to walk. Rather flatly, he spoke,*

"We should return to the village, the longer we're gone the more they'll worry we failed."
Wilbert
*Ishikawa also wouldn't have any trouble collecting the two cub's fur or their claws. Glancing over the mother wouldn't reveal much about the cause of her strangeness. Ishikawa was a hunter after all, not an animal biologist. The most he would be able to tell from his own hunting experience was that it had unusual bone growth, especially around the spine and shoulders, but not much else about the cause. The body was far to large to bring to town for specialists to look over it, and the body would likely be rotten by the time a specialist was called over to investigate. It would seem the origin of this strange beast will remain a mystery*
Mary
"Hey, i believe the other cub's hide belong to you, considering you did most of the killing." *Kibaru said before using a healing salve to recover a bit and numb the pain +10HP*

*After it had taken affect he would draw his odatchi before bringing it down on the necks of the skinned felines. Aiming to claim their heads*
Judith
*The nature of the beasts troubled him, but there wasn't much he could do about it at this point. The most he could do was hope the creature was an anomaly that had been dealt with permanently. Most animals were skittish around humans, and to see a wild cat of that size was troubling to him, especially what he had encountered previously. 

Ishikawa walked back towards Kibaru, muting his expression once again, not wanting to portray his disdain for Kibarus actions. He gathered the hides of the cubs, leaving Kibaru to gather the heads as proof of their kill.*
Mary
*Kibaru would hit his head* "Disgraceful!" *He yelled out before going to his knees as he resited a whispering prayer to their prey* "May your bodies feed many and may you return to the cycle of life" *Only that part would be audible. After which he pick up the heads and continue to carry it in the mother's hide as a makeshift bag* " Want something for the pain?"
Judith
*Ishikawa watched him, expression unchanged. He used to give similar prayers after hunts, but he had stopped months ago. His faith in the gods had wavered, and so did his worship. The most respectful thing to do, in his mind, was use all that he could and move on. No displays needed.

He turned to Kibaru, walking.*

"It wont do much for me I'm afraid. I have something of my own to deal with it, later..."
