Ompeet Ndongo |

Club and shield at the ready, Ompeet heads in the direction indicated. If he can encounter the beast non-violently, he’ll assess the situation to see if he can merely drive the beast off.
Wild empathy, if possible: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Kha'Rassi |

Kha'Rassi nods at Melusine's findings, then looks for brush cover wherever possible, drawing her hand crossbow and loading it as she follows Ompeet down.
stealth, for whatever it's worth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Ompeet Ndongo |

Wild empathy is a modified Diplomacy check. Maybe Historian will let you use aid another for Ompeet’s check above.

The Historian |

Ompeet advances into the grasses until he glimpses the creature. An overtly large badger, with ferocious red and black markings is gnawing on the corpse of a sea bird.
You attempt to coax the animal and persuade it to move away but without success. The wild animal gives you one look, rips another strip of bird meat off, and snarling and chewing advances toward you, eyes keenly locked on your leg.
Ompeet: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Melusine: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Kha'Rassi: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Alexander: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Snarling Badger: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
We don't need maps for this encounter. The animal is 30 feet from Ompeet. The cliff path is wide enough for two people to be side by side.
You may opt to be anywhere behind Ompeet, as long as you're at least 10 ft. behind him since he went first. Melusine is probably closer.

Kha'Rassi |

"Tch...of course we would find something already angry..." Kha'Rassi loads her hand crossbow and fires it at the snarling scavenger.
hand crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23WHOAH there!
crit threat?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 probably not...
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1
Third time's a charm; let's see the if the site behaves for more than a day this time, hm?
