*When finally nearing their destination, Kibaru's footsteps became quitter as he began to examine his surroundings*

*The two of you being familiar with the woods would head toward the southern route of the convey with very little difficulty. The map helped somewhat in finding the quickest path, but it was certainly lacking in detail to find exactly where the convoy's path would be.*

*However, Kibaru would be able to spot horse and wagon tracks off to the side. Looking over it though the tracks didn't appear to be fresh, appearing instead to simply be trails of many convoys and horses going over the same path over and over again.*

*As for Ishikawa, being more familiar acting as a solo hunter, Kibaru's presence would throw off his nature sense. He wouldn't be able to tell if the woods were quiet because of a nearby predator or if Kibaru and his presence were causing it. Yet there would also be the occasional skitter of a critter and bird chirp. So it was hard to really make any sort of conclusion about the monster being near from the sounds alone.*

*In either case, the so called beast was still nowhere to be seen, but at least the trail had been located. What shall the two hunters do from here?*

"Think we should continue on the road or just go to the latest recorded sighting. I don't exactly see any evidence of it here" *He asked in a quite enough time to be heard by his companion*

*Ishikawas ears twitched irritably as the other hunter threw off his hearing. He wouldn't be able to use the methods he generally used this time. Given they hadn't found much of a lead, Ishikawa decided to do look for higher ground. Locating the tallest nearby tree, he began to climb, looking back at Kibaru.* 

"Perhaps a higher vantage point would do us some good." 

*Once he had scrambled his way up the tree, he'd settle himself, looking out along the path for signs of their prey, or the convoy they were looking to hopefully intercept before the beast did.*

"Ok, you do that, I'll search on the ground" *Kibaru said running down the path at a decent pace, trying to see if he can see anything out of the ordinary like large amount of broken branches or a path created by a large creature. This time his presence was clear*

*With Ishikawa taking a higher vantage point he would also be separating himself from Kibaru, allowing him to better focus on the surrounding area. With his keen eyes he would scan the area and notice to the north a murder of crows hovering over a certain area. From the map it would seem to be an area near the convoy's intended path, but a little to the west.*

*As for Kibaru, he wouldn't find any particularly large broken thickets or branches nearby, but that could be taken as proof that the beast wasn't nearby. Though he would find a few recent small animal tracks travelling from the northwest to the south.*
