"Aila, I'm being a little harsh right now because I don't want your entire fucking tribe wiped out. That blood is going to be on my hands, because I'm the one taking responsibility for the safety of your tribe!" He says sharply.
"Then stop speaking about leaving them for dead!" She booms right back. "I dont deal woth acceptable losses for each and every one of them is priceless!"
"When did I say leave them for dead? I said you're going to have to carry them when they start slowing down!" He groans, before looking behind her. "Look. The longer we stand around here arguing about this, the higher the chances get of that thing attacking. Let's move now. Let the males go in front. We'll bring up the rear. If they start slowing down, move forward and pick them up."
He lets them run ahead, dropping behind to make himself an easy target for the beast in case it attacks. He could fly, and could at least keep it distracted while the others ran to safety.
The group runs for thirty minutes before Aila has to scoop up one male... then another. She calls to her warriors as another male starts to slow down and it swiftly picked up by another fighter.
The gates were in the far distance, anyone with the ability to fight was rushing out towards them. Behind them Kai heres a horrible roar and the sound of something very heavy moving very fast. The beast was finally attacking!
She nods and keeps running and by the time you turn around that monster is practically on top of you! It sounds like an earth quake in motion as it brings on gnarled arm around, its claws rending the earth as it goes for a swing!
Kai is more than able to stab it, its thick nasty hide easily take the hits with minimal damage since he can't put much force behind it while flying. Seems it has no interest in such slippery prey... it will soon reach the others!
Welp, nothing to do but try and stab its eyes out. He flies forward, dropping in front of it for a moment, before stabbing at its eyes and flying away again.
[By dropping forwards, I mean he's still in the air, only very close to his jaws.]
The moment Kai gets in front of it a massive clawed hand slams into his back, slamming him into the ground hard enough that he actually bounces up before skidding off to the side... it was waiting for that!
He grunts with pain as he's slammed into the ground, before quickly scurrying away. He picks up rocks as he runs, before throwing them at the beast's head from the air.
[A large bipedal feral about the size of maul. Its skin is scarred and looks like tanned leather, thick and hard to damage. It has practically no neck and its body bulges with muscle. It has two huge arms, thick as logs that it uses to to help move its bulk around as well as its stump like legs. It's shoulders are huge and easily reach up to its ears. Random patches of hair, fur and spikes jut out overs its body while its hands consist of two fingers and a thumb, each one tipped with huge jagged claws. It's eyes are dull and its mouth is full of three rows of razor sharp teeth.]
[Fuck. I thought this thing was a quadruped. That's why the dumb move earlier of going in front of it.]
Hmmm... Okay, there had to be a weak spot somewhere... Maybe the usual place?
He checks the thing's groin, wondering if it had a ballsack he could hit.
