Torla sighs heavily as she pulls her mace. "We're just going to stand here?" She picks up the glowing driftwood Erik let drop and chucks it toward the opening of the cave.
The glowing driftwood lands with a loud CLUNK 3 feet away from the group. At the exact moment Erik lays eyes on the beast, It is lazily laying just inside the opening to the cave. It ears perk up and it jumps to its feet when it hears the driftwood land. Letting out a low growl the beast darts to the right of the cavern, Vanishing into the tall grass.

Erik fires his bow as soon as he sees the panther move. (Attack: 23 if you want to allow it, but I'm fine if you just call it an auto-miss. He'd still have taken the shot.)
"Not good," he says sternly as he watches the creature disappear into the grass. "Now that thing could show up anywhere. I really feel like we should take the opportunity to kill it while we have the chance, so it can't sneak up on us later."
He begins to slowly move towards the presumably now empty cave, straining his ears to hear if the panther is still lurking in the tall grass or if it darted off further away. (Stealth: 14, Perception: 15
"Cave might actually be a good place now. We know the cat's not there now, and it should be easy to defend if it comes back."
Bean hops up and down in the grass. "How big was it?" trying to get a better look.
Trying to get to a better defendable position. Bean wades through the grass into the entrance. Sword still drawn. Svrfebln dark vision 120ft to see into the cave beyond the light. Perception: 18
"Are you kidding me Brythal? This is GREAT! Do you know what having a massive predator on this island means? It means the islands food web has to be strong enough to feed it! There is plenty of animals for us to survive."
Bean jumps up and clicks his heels together. "Nice try stupid voice, i dont care if its going to come back and i am snack sized. Im happy right now"
"Because SOMEONE," Erik growls with frustration, nodding in Torla's direction, "decided to be impatient and throw something in the cave before we knew if it was in there or not, alerting it to our presence."
(OoC: Just so we're clear, I'm not actually upset with anyone about this, just enjoying the roleplaying.) :D
Edit: (Also OoC: Not trying to further anger it, just being wary and cautious. As a ranger, Erik knows a thing or two about predators, and he doesn't want to take any chances.)
Ooc: i think the pbp format lends itself to better RP. Because the players interact while waiting for story bits from the DM. I love it. Again i thank you all and am enjoying th RP as well
"Aye Erik and Brythal. while dangerous to provoke the wild creature. With it being on the island with us, we are going to keep running into it, let alone competeing with it for food. Eventually it will fall upon a lethal encounter. If we can claim the creatures den we have an advantage in making that encounter on our terms"
Bean looks smugly twards to group, "besides, you have to plan for the future. And in this cave im thinking a safe nights sleep and maybe even breakfast"

Moving closer towards the Cave opening Erik, you can see bone and alot of it. Small, large cracked bone. Some with meat still on it. Getting closer you catch the smell of what can only be described as death. Rotting flesh and scat. As soon as you fired the shot, you heard a slight snarl just before the beast vanished. Hoping that you hit it but guessing you merely grazed it. Bean and Irmas, you both see a flash of movement 10 feet away from you in the grass, After a second you hear a loud feral roar as the beast lunges at Erik Biting into his shoulder.
Attack: 19 Damage: 9

Imras draws his dagger as soon as he hears the word "panther". He peers around warily after the animal disappears into the grass. Where'd it go?

"Not an enemy, just a predator," Erik will say in hardly a whisper. "Big difference."
He's still trying to make his way out of the tall grass to the cave, as cautiously as he can.
"THAT'S NOT EXACTLY BETTER, tell me why we couldn't have just takken are leave and found a different cave"

Tyrvan watches as Erik fires an arrow at the beast as it disappears into the brush.
He pulls his dagger from his belt and tries to hide as best as possible.

Erik responds to the gnome with a firm nod, but also looks sternly at him while he talks.
"Shhhh!"
Imras drifts away from the torch and crouches In the grass to make himself harder to see. Stealth: 25
Bean looks at Erik as if he was insulted. "Fine!"
Bean wanders up to the cave wall and goes to stealth. *svrfbln stone stealth advantage* stealth: 18 24
And looks as though he kind of disapears
