Questions. Why she had so very many it was hard to know where to begin. Margulis gathered her thoughts and stepped forward, asking in a loud clear voice, "Does this supposed monster fight with tooth or claw? Do the marks it leaves resemble those of any known beast?" She looked down to her paws, thinking it over for a moment before she continued, "And what symptoms do the victims show, is it merely trauma or might there be a poison involved?"

That would cover at least a basic concept for her, others would surely have their own ideas about what would be important. He would likely know little more than what the rumors told about the actual beast, it was the victims and their treatment that would be important here.

Ndege had given up fighting long ago, when she first left her pack to join the Nyota-wasomaji. She was happier as a storyteller, it suited her better - but she still had her family's large build and a fighter's training. She could not, would not ignore the events of the Greenwoods. And who knew, perhaps she'd get a good story out of this. She grinned, already spinning tales about the monster, adding quick descriptions of the gathered lions as - oh!

"Hey!" she called as she approached Lanilua and Mtifu, the only other dogs present. Mtifu looked familiar; hadn't she seen her around the pack?

((Man am I behind.))

Shari followed the blonde lioness through the green brush along with the rest of the group. She was appauled by the state the survivor was in. Whatever had done this to him had been very strong. As the blonde lioness motioned everyone to sit she made her way over and sat down in a place she could see ok from.

As for questions Shari could really only think of one. "From the extense of the wounds how big do you believe this monster might be?"

"That is a possibility. There are some felines capable of evil things such as the attacks in these woods." Her thoughts went to a lioness from her old pride. She had seen the evil that lioness cause, she could imagine more like her. "Whatever the attacker is I am sure we will find it and defeat it." She sounded much braver then she felt.

The thought of an adventure like this made her heart beat quicken. She had always thought of herself as a protector. Using her larger then average body, to keep those close to her safe. Normally she didn't look for fights, but this time she could not just let it slide by. There were innocent creatures getting hurt by a monster in the woods. It didn't matter if the monster happened to be a fellow feline, it was not acceptable. "If we keep together we should be able to take it down.

She looked at the healer and cleared her throat. "How many were killed?" She said, speaking up to make sure he could hear her. "And was there any similarities with the age of the victims?" She thought that if it was an angry group, that maybe they were targeting certain types of felines.

Finally! She reached the orange wild dog and ducked down close to her, eager to be with a familiar species. She wasn’t comfortable with cats in the best of times, but with so many in one place, and all of them geared up to on a monster hunt. Lani shivered, and shook her head to clear her thoughts. Her tail remained tucked between her legs, though. Even pared up with another dog, she couldn’t shake her fright.

“I wasn’t expecting to see anyone out here when I started my morning hunting. This is chaos,” she wrinkled her nose,” But at least something is being done about the… thing in the woods.” She wasn’t too eager to speak up with so many strangers around, so many lions, but she nudged Mtifu’s side and said,” Would you mind asking the if anyone has seen the monster? Even its pawprints? I hear it’s giant!”

And thank the stars! Another dog was making her way toward them. Maybe she wouldn't be so alone after all.

To hear him say he had not forgotten was a wonderful thing and she shoved against him again - just for good measure. "Sawa has not. Our parents are fine. They even have a new litter, can you believe that? They're pretty cute but not as cute as we were when we were their age." She grinned. And then, she thought of the sadder things that had happened. Trouble in the Pridelands and their grandfather...

Her smile faltered.

"It's probably best not to worry them with the details of what we do out in rogue lands." She added with a smile. "Come on, brother of mine, it looks like the part is starting without us." She turned to look as "Let's go and see if these healers can help at all, hm? We can catch up later." Or on the way, depending on how quiet they needed to be. And as she turned to listen in on the question and answer session, she kept firmly next to her brother, sometimes pressed so close to him that the tips of her fur brushed against his. It was good to have family close and she had missed her brother dearly. The fact that he had not given her any new name suggested he had not yet found one yet. But no matter. It was never too late.

"Perhaps you'll find yourself here, hm?" She asked softly.

Jemadari gave a nod in the direction of the grey lion and then moved over to sit close to An. "Life is always more interesting with you around, my friend." He smiled. And both of them were older and bigger now. Did that mean bigger troubles ahead?

Bataar thought everybody was asking decent questions, very decent indeed. He too wanted to know if anyone had actually seen the creature capable. "What did the injured say? Do they remember or know exactly how they were attacked?" He was wondering if any injury would be long and torturous, or quick and rather, a shock. What had he let himself in for? Well, he was going to add this to his repetoire of bravery, so to speak, and so he hoped!

Tahir nodded agreement with Mura,” Indeed, any species is capable of such evil acts. Even jackals might manage this with great enough numbers,” he cast the little blue fellow a look, raising a brow. But his expression was one of amusement, yellow teeth cocked in a grin. Tahir doubted very much their tiny companion had anything to do with this.

Ah, questions. A good opportunity to learn!

Tahir cleared his throat and raised his voice,” Were any parts of the victims eaten?” Trust him to think of cannibalism.

“Did they leave behind any fur or nails? Perhaps a tooth?”

The healer that the large group of animals approched was supposively attacked by whatever was in the woods. This made Haki nervious, doubting what it really was that was in the woods. He decided to speak up and ask a question deemed reasonable. He positioned himself so that he was still close to his new friends, but far enough to be seen. "Did you see what attacked you?" He asked, "what'd it look like? Was it big?" He swamped the healer with questions, though for some reason doubted that his voice was heard, as such he repeated some of what he had said.

Mtifu was just meeting all sorts of familiar faces today. She blinked and looked from the healers up ahead to the black and white dog. Ndege or something like that, maybe? Like before the orange dog gave a nod, as stiff as it was it was as close to friendly as one could get from this particular femme. "Hello. You're a Nyota-Wasomaji packmate, yes?" She asked curiously as her attention flickered back and forth between the two other female dogs and the healers up ahead, as well as any questions she could hear that weren't drowned out by the jibber jabber of those around her.

So far the questions all seemed reasonable to ask. Similarities in demographic of the victims, type of wounds, size of wounds, etc. etc.

"Hello, hello!" said Ndege, tail wagging. She did not mind lions, but she preferred dogs. Her own kind. "Yes, I'm from the Nyota-Wasomaji. It is good to see a familiar face in the crowd, packmate! I am Ndege," she added for the benefit of the other wild dog.

She thought over what she had heard of the killings, particularly the number of animals killed at a time. "This... creature... is either very large, very clever, or very numerous," she said slowly. "I think clever, if it hasn't been found. It could be one creature with a great many traps. Holes dug in the ground with sharp stones at the bottom and leaves spread over the top to disguise the entrance, things of that nature."


Bluu pushed towards the front of the group, hoping to hear whatever answers the healer gave, and caught the end of Ndege's reply. Clever dog! Her mind turned back to the mention of broken bones... could such a thing have come about from a fall? The wild dog was right - if the Greenwood monster was still alive and still uncaught, then it must be clever. The only way to fight cleverness was with information - and if the wild dog wasn't going to ask any questions, then she would. "About the injuries," she called, loud and clear, "particularly the bones. Were they caused by a creature or a trap? Perhaps something dropped from above."

Shebh followed along a bit more eagerly than necessary, which resulted in a bit of a tangle in the brush that took him a moment to get out of. He arrived just in time to hear the healer's last few words to the group, and he listened intently as some of the others asked the very questions he was wondering about.

Except for one. He felt a little morbid for asking it, but Shebh eventually stepped forward and blurted it out.

"Is there any chance that the victim will survive?"

Lani wagged her own tail in greeting to Ndedge, offering a wide smile. This was much better. The dogs were still heavily outnumbered by lions, but for now they’d have a tiny temporary pack to keep each other safe.

“I’m Lani,” she said as greeting, before rolling back on her haunches to a sit. She perked her ears, listening quietly, politely, as the new female spoke,” I think I’d prefer clever to big or numerous. At least that way, if we find the monster, it won’t be so bad to fight. Maybe we could even reason with it.”

Bokkie, now Pam’tano as he’d decided recently, had been on his way to his pride in the Swamplands when he’d come across a group of rogues that spoke of a strange monster. Curiosity and desire to help had gotten the better of the young lion and brought him here which was why pale lion was now looking at the gathering of lions and other creatures that had come together for a common purpose.

“Can we track it down? By scent or by its tracks? Does it... leave any kind of tracks…?” he asked as well, adding his question to the many that were being asked to the male with gold adornments. Pam believed in various spiritual things and in himself to be ready for any kind of shocking revelation that might be thrown at him.

Jahina wandered over, listening to everything going on. So much noise... So many voices... She looked around at everyone, before pushing her way past others. While she'd grown up in the Pridelands, she bore Firekin blood that showed through very clearly in how large she was. The pale orange-cream lioness also held a slightly short temper, something her father's former pride was rather famous for. Her ears folded back as it began to run out, before she bellowed rather loudly. "What is this monster and what might it even LOOK like? If it leaves tracks, what kind does it leave?" This was important information, after all.

From another direction, Moshi wandered up. He'd been on his name quest for a while, and was curious about this world beyond the swamps. He had no questions for whoever they were asking, only wanting to know what was going on. He could find that out by listening, though. The swamp-born lion picked up bits and pieces here and there, something about a monster and a family killed by it. He tilted his head, eyes half-closed and mouth hanging slightly open. Things got more and more curious as he listened... He'd have to stick around. Then there was the matter of these... Firekin. He'd heard of them from multiple sources, including his be-speckled uncle. He wasn't sure if he was really an uncle or not, but... Close enough, he guessed. The great lion had spoken of the desert to any cubs who'd listened, and Moshi had listened and developed a want to touch the sands. First, though.. There was a curious occurrence to take care of.
