I can't fail the knowledge check to identify this creature.
This is a weretiger! Get up! I hope some of you have silver!
Pelkin will have the weretiger be his Bane and try to kill the creature!

The elf never sleeps, but had been lightly meditating when the attack came. With the power of given him by his magical belt, he tore asunder the living bonds which sought to restrain him. Drawing his blade, the magus struggles through the foliage to threaten the were-beast.

Pelkin manages to wound the creature, his baned weapon going through its natural resistances, but its thick hide is too much for the blade to sever an organ at this time. Meanwhile, Velidor, Lore, and Amarthecthel free themselves from the vine growth!
Twigg Escape Artist:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
The sorceror, though, finds himself still stuck!
Mexel, meanwhile, gets up and moves to engage the foe on Twigg's command.
The tiger-man snarls, before taunting Pelkin in a familiar voice. "You will make a delicious meal, my pointy-eared friend!"
DC 12 Intelligence:
The voice is very similar to the hermit at the shrine you passed earlier today.
He then nimbly moves away from Amarthecthel to keep near Pelkin, rears up and swings at half-elf multiple times!
DC 15 Perception:
Despite the now dense vegetation, he moved quite well through it. He must have either some nature abilities or training to move through difficult terrain with ease.
@Velidor: Only a single shot since you don't have Quick Draw to grab your weapon as a free action. Plus side, the lack of a rapid shot penalty narrowly caused a hit!
Velidor fires a silver round, the weretiger narrowly failing to dodge it in time.
"That ssstings you damned hunter!", it spits back at Velidor.

Pelkin winces in pain! He then Dimension Hops next to Lore, hoping his new healer friend will be able to aid him! 15' worth of that used.
Swift Action : Activate Judgments of Healing and Protection, granting Fast Healing 4 (19 HPs now) and AC 30
Pelkin will then attack the now-flanked enemy that brutally savaged him!

Trip attempt:1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 4 = 27
Amarthecthel casts greater thunderstomp, slamming his foot into the ground and creating a localized earthquake that causes the ground to ripple and crack in a line that runs under the weretiger, under the tree and under the elephant beyond.
Ranged trip attempt that does not trigger an AoO. No save.
Amarthecthel's tremor shakes the weretiger, but he barely manages to hold his ground. "Hissss.... you petty magics will not prevent you from becoming my feast!"
@Twigg: Mexel had a crit threat! Rolling it for you to keep moving.
Mexel tries to maul the weretiger and lands a pair of blows; but no marks seem to be left on his flesh.
"You should have ssstayed at my shrine! Would have saved me the time to follow my meal!", the weretiger taunts as it unabashedly tries to rip Pelkin apart once more!
The weretiger only lands a single bite, but it goes straight for the jugular and Pelkin is once again nearly felled by the single attack. "Mmm... your blood is sweeter than others. I shall enjoy this!"
Velidor unloads on the weretiger using Deadshot and silver ammo and then takes step closer to Twigg
Deadshot:
At 7th level, as a full-round action, the gunslinger can take careful aim and pool all of her attack potential into a single, deadly shot. When she does this, she shoots the firearm at a single target, but makes as many attack rolls as she can, based on her base attack bonus. She makes the attack rolls in order from highest bonus to lowest, as if she were making a full attack. If any of the attack rolls hit the target, the gunslinger's single attack is considered to have hit. For each additional successful attack roll beyond the first, the gunslinger increases the damage of the shot by the base damage dice of the firearm. For instance, if a 7th-level gunslinger firing a musket hits with both attacks, she does 2d12 points of damage with the shot, instead of 1d12 points of damage, before adding any damage modifiers. Precision damage and extra damage from weapon special abilities (such as flaming) are added with damage modifiers and are not increased by this deed. If one or more rolls are critical threats, she confirms the critical once using her highest base attack bonus –5. For each critical threat beyond the first, she reduces this penalty by 1 (to a maximum of 0). The gunslinger only misfires on a dead shot if all the attack rolls are misfires.
Musket1+RS1+PBS+DA vs Touch AC:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 not a misfire
Musket1+RS2+PBS+DA vs Touch AC:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 Musket2+PBS vs Touch AC:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 most likely two hits
Actually only one; darn this guy and a decent touch AC! Just using the first d12 roll (which is the best at least).
Velidor concentrates, trying to make the most of his bullet, but the shot seems to only have normal affect, but causing more harm than his first blast.

I have myself at 4/75, now 8/75 after the healing judgment.
Pelkin elects to full attack, hoping to put down the were-tiger!

Amarthecthel is astonished that the weretiger managed to remain standing and decides to end this the old-fashioned way: with spell and sword. He advances, casting and attacking.
Swift action: Use Arcane pool to give his scimitar the icy burst quality. 5' step. Use spellstrike to cast a Rime-spell-enhanced frostbite spell. Full attack.
Concentration (DC 17):1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
The spell fails, so he gets only the scimitar attacks.

Waiting until tomorrow for Twigg/Mexel, then continuing. And Twigg, you can make another CMB/Escape Artist check to get out from the entangled condition as a standard action. DC 13
While Twigg frees himself, Mexel lands a blow that actually has a lasting scratch this time!
With everyone free and Lore keeping Pelkin standing, the weretiger seems to have second thoughts. "Tough prey...", his cat eyes glaring at Lore. He then darts back and forth towards the jungle.
Using withdraw action, so not provoking from Pelkin, but will from Mexel and Amarthecthel, so also using Acrobatics]
Acrobatics to avoid AoO:1d20 + 21 - 5 ⇒ (4) + 21 - 5 = 20
[ooc]This will provoke from Amarthecthel!
Weretiger is in the brush, granting cover and concealment, but is still visible to those with darkvision or low-light vision. If not stopped now, he will disappear into the jungle, out of sight and reach.

Can he move that far in difficult terrain? I could use Dimensional Hop to catch him. How far away is he exactly?

Pelkin uses Dimensional Hop to catch the creature. Escaping will not be that easy.
"I am not so sure it is wise to chase after the beast. That gives up strength in our numbers and puts everyone in his terrain, terrain he knows best. He might be leading you to a trap. Cunning beasts they are." Velidor yells out to those interested in the chase but stays put near the caravan.

@Pelkin: You are correct, those bonus dice are not multiplied on a crit
The overwhelming amount of firepower the party directs at the escaping weretiger thoroughly and completely slays him.
On his scorched and severed body are:
masterwork composite longbow (+3 Str)
2x masterwork kukri
a potion of fly
a wand of cure light wounds (15 charges remaining)
a cloak of elvenkind
a ring of protection +1
thoroughly destroyed leather armor :p
After another nearly half an hour, the vegetation around the camp finally goes back to normal, although Balo is still somewhat shaken, although grateful to the party's combat prowess again. "I have seen tiger attacks before, but never like that!"

Pelkin eyes the bow, then decides its no better than the one he owns. He then looks at the potion and says, This could be useful to you, Twigg, if you ever find the need to fly out of trouble.
Outside of the wand, Pelkin doesn't seem interested in anything else. We can sell the other items. For now, lets get some rest.

That and a good night rest will do it.
Pelkin nods a solemn thank you to the wielder of the wand and goes back to keeping watch, hoping that there will be no more interruptions.

Nope, just gonna rest up and move out in the morning.
After another half-day of travel, the party finally sees what they presume to be Leckumgee. The steep, heavily vegetated hillside opens out onto a small village, each of its roughly twenty huts raised on tall stilts. Goats, pigs, and other animals stand tethered or in pens. A few people are out and about, several smiling at you as you approach before Balo slows down the elephants and helps the party off of the mahoots.
A middle aged woman approaches the party and speaks out in Vudrani; Balo happily plays interpreter for you. "This woman, Shreya, is the leader of the village. She wishes to greet you, offer you feed for the animals, a dinner to celebrate you as guests, and a place to stay for the night."

As long as this isn't a colony of lycanthropes, we can accept.
