The Stalkers were clearly intelligent pack hunters with how they arrived and how they approached the group. Using strategy and numbers to box them in, something the beasts seemed very experienced and versed in doing. This only made them all the more deadly and difficult to fend off as they would work together. [h1][/h1] With Esther trying to slow them and Vetreus aiming to strike one of the three beasts; it opened a window of opportunity for Penny’s own plan. Penny took her right hand and balled it into a fist, pounding it into her left palm as a smile spread across her face. This was her chance to let loose a little and take out some of her earlier frustration. She always found the most enjoyment when she got to hit something as hard as she could. It always made her feel much better afterwards and she was always up for a challenge no matter the opponent. [h1][/h1] Since Vetreus was engaging one already, Penny locked her eyes on the furthest one to the left. Once she had her target locked she sprinted towards the beast without any hesitation ready to brawl with the creature in close range. She knew if she could bring the fight to the beast it would keep it away from the others and maybe focus some of the attention on her. Allowing her allies to strike the other beasts with more safety while she took the brunt of any of the counterattack. [h1][/h1] Once she closed the distance she tried to throw the creature off with a feint attack before attempting to slide by the beast to get behind it while it was still preoccupied by Esther's musical spell, wanting to latch her arms around the beast's waist in an attempt to suplex it over her own head and onto its head and neck. Preferring to get into the thick of action and the heat of battle rather than stand around and wait to see what the beasts would do. She also suspected they would be thrown off if she came at them aggressively. Knowing it was likely they had grown used to hunting prey that ran from them and tried to hide or defend itself.
