Following along the little trail, the courier grew more cautious. He felt more than confident in the ability of their current team to handle a single ursur, but that didn't mean he wanted to be in front if they stumbled over it! It was almost a relief to find its corpse farther on and realize it was no longer a threat, but Tal scowled as he tip-toed out towards the corpse, glancing up into the branches high above them before circling around and looking for more manticore prints leading away...
Or evidence that it had taken to its wings, like deeper paw prints in the snow where it might have pushed itself skyward, just like Boreal left behind her. Only, y'know, bigger.
Tal looks for the next part of the trail!
