Paldonna nods slightly. "Oh. I'm sorry to hear of your parents' death..." She said empathetically.

The brothers nods
"i... it... it's fine we hardly remember them, and... and our adopted dad is a good man."

"Then that is a good thing." Paldonna adds simply. She kicks at a rock as she passed by.

Vellian sighs and shakes her head, going at a hiking speed across the forest, hoping to lead the others along the blood trail.
"Enough with the sob stories, cheer up. We've got a beast to slay!"
Her voice was determined and energetic, trying to inspire the others. However, movement could be heard, heavy footsteps going across the forest floor, snapping twigs and crackling dead leaves as it moved close to them. Vellian instinctively drew her sword, nice 'shink' as it slid out of its scabbard.
"We've got a guest. Make yourselves hospitable."

Paldonna instinctively tightened the grip on her spear, hand also ready to grab her dagger if she had to. She looked towards the sound of the cracking twigs.

Fred wants to be on the Front but his brother gives him that guilt triping brother stare, as Fred goes to stand in the center of the pack lantern held high, ready to drop it for his sword, as his Brother stands Ax and Shield ready for what ever is to find them!

Atherius looked forwards to where the sound was being emitted from. Nodding once, he held the pommel of his blade as he waited, breathing in once and cutting his humming short. Fingers tapping and dancing around the end as a state of heightened awareness grew on him.

A ten foot creature stepped into view. Its arms and legs were extremely scrawny; it was a wonder that its torso and head were held up by them. As it turned, it revealed a disturbing avian face, slowly opening as it showed an array of bloody teeth, yellow eyes glowing in the night. Suddenly, it let out a huge screech and bent its arms into an attack position, bending its knees. Each hand was adorned with large claws, meant for grasping prey. Attachments:

Frederick goes to fumble with one arm as he's going to hold the lantern on his belt and fumble with oil and rags on his blade with a one and a half functioning arm.
Palid goes to Lift his shield and step towards the front of the pack, lifting his shield and ax ready... looking to their full plated friend.

Paldonna really doesn't want to be in close combat with this creature. She quickly steps back, dropping her spear, and taking out her bow, attaching an arrow to it. She pulled the bowstring back, ready to fire.

Atherius kicked up his blade and tightly gripped it within his hands. Twisting the hilt in a python's grasp, he stared daggers at the ferocious with the unwavering stance that Atherius held. Standing his ground with the group, prepared for a confrontation with this -totally- soft and cuddly looking beast!

Oddly enough, it charges to the group on all fours. It swings both arms wildly at the heroes in the front lines- Atherius, Palid, Frederick, and Vellian. It lets loose a screech as it does so, baring its glowing eyes and bloody fangs in front of them.

Paldonna releases the bowstring, hoping to get a decent shot at the charging creature. Her instinct is sharper than her thoughts are at a charging, dagger-toothed owl creature.

Atherius, taking the gamble of the day, lifted his blade up and brought it crashing down at one of the flailing claws as it came swinging for them- attempting to sever the claw with one powerful swipe. However, whether that was successful or not, he couldn't house a guess! As, when his blade came into contact with the beast's strikes, he felt a shake through his arms and went skidding back, leaving a trail of his planted feet as he did. Dropping one hand to the ground as he balanced himself with a quick gasp for breath.

Frederick goes to back peddle and hurry away from the beast. Still fiddling with what he is working on.
Palid goes to try and lift his shield, hoping to catch the claws and the attack, to then reach around and hack at the beast arm with his ax.

Surprisingly enough, the creature was intelligent, and after getting shot in the shoulder with an arrow, it changed tactics.. Twisting one of its arms so that it avoided Atherius' swing and then grabbing the hilt. It screeched at him, eyes gazing and bloody fangs bared as it takes its other hand to take away Palid's shield.
Vellian took the Frederick approach to the whole situation, backing up a bit to look for a moment to strike, raising her shield slightly in defense and narrowing her eyes.

Palid's shield is battered aside, is the beast strong enough to split it? As he tries to hack at the beast with the Ax again!
Frederick is oiling his blade with a rag, he's got a plan, going to then light the oiled blade, and join the battle with a flaming sword, trying to scare the beast.

Tightly gripping his blade as the beast attempted to disarm him, Atherius growled in an almost predatory tone. Jerking his arms back as the beast shrieked, only managing to cause his ears to ring in his head to the point of annoyance. As he pulled on his blade, Atherius' body noticeably quaked at the stress. It was time to do something unorthodox, and Atherius knew it as well, so he brought his helmet upwards, pointing it's pointed tip of the face-guard forwards, before lunging and colliding it into the creature's arm, hoping to puncture it's arm and buy him time to pace himself backwards.

Paldonna sets another arrow, tip holding steady, hopefully for a dangerous shot at the neck. She releases the arrow again, trying to back away from the creature as it had gotten closer.

The creature is surprised as Atherius pokes its arm with his helmet, jumping back with amazing agility for a second. Sadly, this causes it to dodge Paldonna's arrow. Soon after, it swings its arm again, snatching up an unsuspecting Vellian. Holding her in the air and staring with its glowing, destructive eyes it screeches madly, when suddenly she brings her arming sword upon its wrist. It releases the grip and she falls ten feet onto the ground, groaning from the pain. For a second, it seems as if the creature retreats into the woods..
