Sorry for the late reply to your request of proof. Now I might've misinterpreted something here but this I view as meta-gaming. But the fact your character just automatically assumed he was heading to his lair, instead of just retreating to try and get an advantage elsewhere. Like granted he went, hmm retreating? Trap?
But then he jumped straight to lair, how did he know that he didn't the thing wasn't just retreating to somewhere else? Like yes, I understand the reasons which were named but he didn't think there was somewhere else in the forest he could've been luring him to?

Well you see that's what happens when you plan for a low powered fight and then it's instant mid-tier and now high powered. James never stood much of a chance in the first place, but I wouldn't worry about him. He has a trick up his sleeve I just don't have anything to post with at the moment XD
