I wonder if we might be able to get someone at the Lodge to maybe come and rescue them...and take them to a wildlife sanctuary...or at least somewhere they can live a normal life... Daegon says as he gets out some salted pork from his rations and gives it to one of the cats.
The snow leopard Cannoli roused, beaten and bruised, is in a really foul mood. Although food is presented it's more interested in defending itself from those who attacked it.
Silvanus and Cannoli, working together, manage to calm the snow leopard enough to eat the meat and not the Pathfinders.

"I guess we do the same with the other leopard?" asks Silvanus.

The catfolk collects more meat and tries to help again.

But not very well. Perhaps her scent is concerning. Perhaps the leopards recognize a more apex predator when they see one.

Whoops forgot the CLW: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 on the second one!
I'll need a Handle Animal from Silvanus because, due to the recent combat and their health, taking 10 is not an option with the snow leopards.

Olaf lurks nearby to make sure the leopard doesn't get any funny ideas.

Let me know when I should put it down. That's the only help I can provide, to end its suffering.
Guardian does not yet manifest his shadow blade.

Cannoli shakes the meat and tries to lead the kitty away from the group and camp.
Move slowly back (20 ft aka 1/2 speed?) while trying to catch the kitty’s attention with the food. Not sure what roll works for that. Would also do Total Defense if allowed with her standard.

Cannoli is pretty sure, from her own 'hangry' moments, the snow leopard will eat the meat and then her hand. ;)

Cannoli looks at her hand, then at the meat, then back at her hand. Then she tries to add some calming meows to the situation.

Silvanus, knowing how seriously Olaf take his bodyguarding duties, holds his hand up to let the chimp know that he doesn't need his companion to intervene.
He then turns his attention back to calming the angry leopard...

Well, at least this time she is of some help...
While by no means calm the big cat is no longer attempting to bite anyone either...

Cannoli goes to clap her hands together loudly to signify the leopard taming is a success, then realizes that might startle them and get her bit so she just quietly adds, ”Okay then, that’s resolved perfectly. I am sure once fed they now won’t bother us anymore. Let’s set up camp. Tomorrow we will get out of their area.”

Guardian gives a few practice swings of his shadow blade through the air.
Have the leopards try to eat your faces yet?

Thankfully, no... Daegon says with a wry grin.
Although Breeka and Cannoli are doing their level best to make that happen... he chuckles as he helps set up camp.
I'll take a watch during the darkest hours...since I can see clearly...

With the leopard situation resolved Silvanus sets about using prestidigitation to help clean up the camp and warm a few things up.
While the guides go about preparing the camp, Xue Ho whistles a simple melody as he checks and cleans several climbing pitons. The whistled tune comes from a classic Taldan song, automatically recognized by natives of Taldor or Amanandar. Hai Xuan is a too distracted by the snow leopards eyeing him hungrily to whistle; dry lips perhaps?
Also the guides inform the Pathfinders they will not climb any higher than base camp as its apparent the path is more dangerous than first thought. They draw a crude map which shows the group the way to the Monastery.
Any PCs who wish to recognize the song may make a trained Knowledge (Local) check please.

"B-but how far is it from here?" asks Jakeric, nervously eying the imposing mountain.

Cannoli eyes the guide, she was pretty sure that they were told one day from the base camp but… all seems well now so she doesn’t say anything.
How cold does it feel? Fort check cold or just chilly?

While Cannoli and Jakeric don't notice anything Grizzlebin, on the other hand (or paw?), notices base camp's location was picked for a reason. It's right on the boundary of where altitude becomes an issue.

"Now that the leopards know we have food in our supplies, we should probably be careful to keep them somewhere leopard proof overnight just to be on the safe side." suggests Silvanus.
As Silvanus is from Taldor would he know the tune, or would he still need the knowledge local check?
