[quote=@Crusader Lord]My only regret is not having been able to use the Creature Analysis skill yet, but that can come after we kill it. Never said the animal had to be alive to use that skill on it, right? :P

Also I had no idea on which Elwet would be closest to Lazash with her entrance to the left of where Akeno went in, so I assumed and had her gun for the one nearest to her in that case. (Er, if I need to fix that at all then I can! No problem. Or if all else fails she would attack the one closest to her if the current target of her blitz, as designated in my post, doesn't work. XD)

We've also never specified how the condition of a creature might affect the amount of information Creature Analysis can obtain! Oh the wonder and mystery! :D

Your post works perfectly as a matter of fact, as going in on Akeno's left would indeed put you more in line with the fire breather. They're a bit like this:
[0][0][b][R][/b][0][0]
[0][b][F][/b][0][0][0]
[0][0][0][b][b][W][/b][/b][0]
[b][L][/b][0][b][H][/b][0][b][G][/b]
[0][0][b][A][/b][0][0]

R= Runner, F= Firebreather, W= Warning Screecher, H= Back Hopper (the one Akeno pounced at), L= Lazash's Entrypoint, G=Grunthor's entry point.

"Though the Elwet was much heavier than a normal chicken, it was still smaller and lighter than the Runt who came charging at it with a stone knife. Though Lazash's initial plan succeeded, and she slammed into the monster from the side, as its feet left the ground there wasn't enough resistance from its body weight to really drive her sharp stone home. She pierced a thick layer of feathers and drew blood, but somehow her instincts warned that this wouldn't be fatal. As they tumbled together, the beast's wings and feet flailed wildly at her--and its sharp talons raked her soft belly, leaving several slices that burned with pain, before she finally came up on top and managed to wrap her tiny hands around the fire breathing neck!

But now, despite weighing more than it and perhaps being stronger, the Elwet proved that it, too, was stronger than its size hinted. Clucking furiously, it began to scramble and try to run--with Lazash still on its back! Though her grip tightened every moment and the bird's eyes bulged from lack of oxygen, it simply poured every ounce of adrenaline and survival instinct into a mad charge for freedom--"

[@ERode] Given how things are arranged now, you could catch all the Elwet except the Runner with a Frost Arc--but you'd also catch most if not all of your allies! ;)

"Grunthor put his whole body weight into a charge much like Lazash, but whereas her goal had been to pierce a feathered heart his, from the start, had been to get his string-bean arms around the crowing terror and bear both their weights to the earth. In this he succeeded--though most of the Elwet's body was hugged against his chest. This left its beaked head free, and even as he buried his face into its...surprisingly soft chest, he could feel the pointed appendage drawing a pattern of bloodied dots all over his bald head, seeking his eyes!

But up came Grunthor's arm, and down came his sharp rock! He missed the first shot but clipped one of the antlers, and now that he knew where its body was in space alongside him the second blow hit its mark! The Elwet cried out once more as one of its eyes was blinded forever by the chiseled stone edge! In this moment of weakness Grunthor could secure his mount and finish the creature off--but if he raised his head to do so, he'd see another twenty-something pounds of feathered fury, carrying a further weight of exactly 1 Lazash, coming straight at him in a mad charge for freedom--!"
