I have jumped o to Greatsword a few times here and there. So I understand the basics of the combos. But I Struggle with what skills to primarily use. And im not sure if its because of some of the Skill changes in Rise or just my playstyle.

In Iceborne I was running an Odogaron Quick Sheath/Critical Draw build. But then someone told me the Frostfang Barioth set was better because it let your greatsword do Hammer stuff, the ran that for a bit but felt dissapointed and drifted away cause I was never able to get my Wyvern Iginitiom upgraded to T12.

I touched it a lil bit again in Rise. But feel lost on what skills to use because obviously a different game. But alot of skills feel nerfed. And by nerfed I mean in the sense that skills arent as flexible in terms of gems. Attack boost and Critical eye are now tier 2 gems instead of Tier 1.

I also dislike the Asthetic of most Weapons in Rise. Like I Love the Datura set (the Pukei pukei weapons). The Rathalos set and the Magnamalo set. And the Bazel set. But outside of that the designs in Rise kinda leave me meh. And thats also playing a role a bit. But I've been told Poison sucks in Rise. So Datura, the one I'm pulled to the most is deemed weak by others I've turned to. Also its hard to fit Poison dps gems into a build alongside atk and crit and quick sheath etc.

Any recommendations or help?

I like to play Trapper when I can. Outside of obvious non trapple monsters, which i have a Bomb load out for.

But I just tried to trap a Nargacuga from a 7 star event Quest and it would not let me trap him. He ignored 2 of my shock traps. And Tripped my Pitfall traps but didn't get trapped, he just walked out like he never got trapped.

I only caught him because he funny enough got stuck in my Palico's Shock Trap.

No he had not tripped a single trap up to that point.

The Knight slammed his fist on the table. "They have a name?!"

The Commander smiled and gestured the Knight to sit down. "They do. The local Felyne's confirmed it. In all regions. Speaking of which you only told me about the Forest, now how about we continue that story of yours. Where did you track this Yautja next?"

The Knight sits and Ponders. Grinding his teeth as he attempts to remember. A short moment passes as a Palico carries away the empty plate of food the Knight had finished. "The Wildspire. It took a few days, but we followed it into the Wildspire. B.. but it had already been there long enough to cause some damage."

The Commander nods as he beckons the Palico with the empty cups. The Palico happily takes them, and as it leaves a second, Palico enters with brand new, full to the brim cups. "Continue..."

------------------------

The Blistering heat of the Wildspire Waste was exceptionally hot on this day. The Knight had replaced his Bowgun with a Gunlance. Defense and offense built into one weapon. Surely, this one will work.

"Meowster... It's unbearable here... this heatwave is going to roast meow!" Ren pants between heavy breaths. "Is there by chance... we could find... relief?"

The Knight rubs sand from his eyes as he thinks for a moment. Considering the situation. This heatwave will slow them down if they can't relieve it somehow. "Was a Teostra reported in the area? A Lunastra, maybe?"

Ren shakes his head. "Not a single one."

"Still" the Knight considers "better to be safe, I will need to have the Botanist brew me up some more of this stuff" As he reaches into his pouch he retrieves a Small vial, its contents a white viscous liquid, condensation visible upon the Vial and around it as the hot air beats down on the Vial. The Knight hands it to his Palico. "Cool Drink! It will lower your body temperature"

"Youuuu're the best Meowster!" Ren exclaims as he chugs back the Vial. It somewhat meaty and soupy substance having a smooth flavor. Creamy. Like a mushroom cream soup.

The knight smiles weakly "I wouldn't say that. The other knights would have put that Creature down." He groans as he drinks his own Vial.

Ren tilts his head in confusion as a familiar roar rings out. Both the Knight and Palico ready themselves as they start Sprinting towards the Roar, the cool Drinks effects now in full effects.

"That was a Diablos! It sounded pissed" The Knight says as he starts to climb a cliff for a better view. As he does a Medium sized Scale drops past his face, sizzling and smoking as it drops "Watch out!" He yells as he tries to kick the Scale away.

Ren dodges to the left as the Scale drops right where he was standing. The Sizzling speeding up as the Scale starts to swell and turns Blue. Before it could explode Ren finds himself yanked Upwards by a sudden motion, the Knight had used his clutch claw to save Ren.

"As if a pissed off Diablos was bad enough. A Damn Bazelgeuse as well?? Bastard is seething at that!?" The knight Growls angerly as he Watches the Bazelgeuse Drops itself face first into the ground, the ensuing explosion shaking the entire area.

"Perhaps a Territorial dispute?" Ren suggest

"We gonna find out!" The knight replies.

After several seconds of climbing and observing. The Knight nods his head and takes his Gunlance out. Readying himself carefully as he calculates something in his head.

Ren watching what he is doing, hops on his should and digs his claws in "Meowster! We don't have Wirebugs! This technique is dangerous, and I recommend against it without the proper too.... aaaaahhhh!"

The Knight and Ren find themselves soaring through the air towards the action as he pulls the Gunlances trigger. "Wirebugs be damned! Kamura doesn't get to have all the fun just because it has fancy tools! Besides, Guild Knights have Special authorization!"

Ren holds on for dear life as they start to drop. "If other Hunters see you doing this, they could get hurt trying to mimic you!"

The Knights tone changes as he Readies for Impact. "More will get hurt if we don't deal with that!"

Below as Diablos and a Bazelgeuse swing Widely at each other and at a Smaller Humanoid, it's Dreadlock whipin around in the air as it jumps off the Diablos Tail and attempts to get on top of the Bazelgeuse.

"Hold on!" The Knight yells as he raises the Gunlance and aims himself for the middle of the action. The Knight misses his target with the swing, just barely nicking the Yautja's dread as lands on the Diablos head.

The Yautja looks back at the Knight and growls in frustration. "SORRY TO CRASH THE PARTY!" The Knight yells at him as the Gunlance explodes in the Diablos face, shattering one of its horns and launching the Knight at the Yautja.

Before the Yautja can worry about that however. The Bazelgeause rears up as its mouth ignites and Scales begin to Glow a Vibrante whiteish blue.

With a Mighty roar that knocks everything back. Bazelgeuse's roar launches scales in every direction as it goes straight up into the air. The Diablos still recovering from the load it just took to its face. The Knight and Yautja land right next to each other, ready to fight but that sentiment fades fast as they realize the Bazelgeuse is coming back down.

"Meowster! Run!" Ren yells as he starts to run for the hills.

The knight smiles cockily "No! No I don't think I will!" He says as he raises his shield. The Yautja goes to flee but finds himself locked in place and roaring with pain as his tech starts to blink and fail him. At his feet... a Shock trap made from crude tech and a Thunderbug.

As the Knight holds up his shield and takes cover behind it he yells back at the Yautja who squeals and roars in pain. "You aren't the only Crafty one around here. Let's see how durable you are!"

Time seemed to slow down as the Bazelgeuse dropped ontop of them. The Explosions of the Scales causing a ringing in the knights ears as he shields himself from the blast. Thankfully it dulls the Roar that rings out from the Bazel as it Let's out a seething Roar of hatred. However the Roar is cut short part of its face is suddenly blown out and its body crumbles over. More Scales and glowing blood Splattering up the roof of the cave.

Confused the Knight looks in horror as the Yautja, Definitely hurt and Bleeding, its once pristine armor now scorched and damaged, picks up a Bazelgeuse Scale as he slowly steps towards the Knight. Strange growling and spitting can be heard from underneath its mask.

"You're trying to shit talk me?" The Knight asks as he starts to stand up. But finds himself struggling to as the Ground Rumbles. Looking back the Knight finds the Diablos has recovered, and is lining up a charge.

As he tries to stand up ans get out of the way, a Whirring can be heard as Yautja's shoulder mounted canon begins to charge. Hatred clearly filling its every breath as he begins to laugh at the Knight.

"Allright I get it! I pissed you off. But I think you're celebrating a bit too early!" As he says it the Knight fire shis gunlance one last time and launches himself sideways, his shoulder filling with immense pain as he dislodge his shoulder from the force "Oh! Thats why Kamura reinforces themselves with wirebugs"

As the Knight moves, the Diablos runs past where he was initially sitting, his remaining horn digging its tip down the barrel of the Yautja's shoulder canon at the same moment it fires. Destroying the horn and the canon. The Yautja Let's out a Pained and Anger filled Yelp as he jumps onto the Diablos face. Slamming the Bazelgeuse scales in between the plates on its face.

Without looking back the Yautja starts marching towards the Knight. Loud thuds filling the Cave, only being disturbed by the explosion that kills the Diablos. Explosion that goes upwards and triggers the scales in the ceiling.

Unaware the Yautja continues to use its Garbeled and Gutteral language as it stomps towards the Knight.

As if almost accepting his fate, the knight relaxes "hey ugly!" The Knight makes some finger guns, the Yautja pauses and tilts its head in confusion "KABOOM bitch"

As if on que. The Scales in the roof detonate and the cave begins to collapse. Forced to Retreat the Yautja runs for the nearest exit leaving the Knight sitting in the cave under the weight of his own weapon.

The knight Chuckles to himself "You are one durable Son of a Bitch. If I survive this" rocks start landing around him as he looks up at the cracking ceiling. The Gap he came.in from.steadily getting larger "You bet your ass I will see you for round 3. See you in the Highlands"

-------------

The Knight chugs his drink, his lips and throat hoarse from the talking.

"Definitely reckless. Flashy as expected of a guold knight. But definitely reckless. I mean what were you thinking!? Using that Gunlance technique without proper training or wirebugs!" The Commander shouts as he slams his fist on the table.

The Knight closes his eye's and shakes his head "this thing. This Yautja. I had to start being reckless. I caught it off guard! I injured it!"

"Nearly killed yourself in the process you mean?"

The knight winces as he grabs his ribs "Exactly!" The Commander huffs "My anger may be a bit misplaced. Unlike with the last 2 incursions, we don't have anyone helping us. You were chasing this thing blind. And its intelligence is through the roof."

The Knight raises an eyebrow solemnly as he sits there in confusion.

" You are Lucky the Saphire Star is both kind and patient. The Bazelgeuse was there Contract"

"The... the Saphire Star was in the Area?" The knights hands shake as he widely remembers watching them Fight Fatalis from the Shrade walls.

The Commander nods and chuckles to himself "they were the one to pull you out. They watched your little fire show. Said they Beleived this Yautja was another hunter fighting the Diablos and did not want to intervene."

"How much?" The knight demands.

"What??" The Commander seems baffled

"How much Zenny was the Bazelgeuse contract? Pay them. From my coffers. A Thank you for saving my life"

The Commander stares at the knight carefully for several seconds then nods waving his hand as a Palico leaves the room.

"Next. The Highlands?"

I was fighting this damn fish and realized he felt very off from his World Counterpart. So started observing his moves more closely and realized he is just a Land bound Waterblight Rathian.

He has the the Double Tail Spin. A Move he never had in World. A Signature move of Rathian.

Next he does the same Fireball attacks. 3 in a row. With varying patterns.

The Hip check was also a dead Giveaway. Never in my many Hours in World did I ever see him hip check.

For me what made it click was the Headless chicken run. When he is dislodged from the water and on his feet. He does it constantly. Just runs around aimlessly trying to hit you.

Like there is so many comparisons. He is just a Glorofied Waterblight Rathian. With some moves from Lavasioth and Amuldron mixed in.

Capcom you had a moveset and Skeleton fpr this Monster in world. Why tf did you turn him into Glorified Rathian?

Does anyone else notice that HBG in Rise feels off. I don't fully know how to explain it but it feels like the Weapon has no impact. Monsters aren't reacting to shots. They aren't flinching. I see numbers but it still feels like im not doing anything. I will sometimes see that a part broke. But I genuinely can't tell if it was me that did it or one of my 2 Palico's.

And there is the way they overhauled the ammo system. The HBg was perfect in World. I loved the chart that displayed all the variables and highlighted the changes when you place new mods. In Rise it just feels off. All o see is if I can walk while shooting. Walk while reloading ans if its a single fire. And there doesn't seem to be anyway to give ammo the ability to walk and shoot with them. Leaving me just scratching my head on what happened. How did we regress from World so much to such a simple and just confusing ammo flowchart.

Is anyone else feeling these issues?

So. How do I Initiate Guard Points? I keep hearing the term. And have seen them here and there in montages. But have never actually gotten one in a total of 3 MH games. Granted I havent played Charge Blade.much in those 3 games. But still. Is it that hard of an ability to activate? Is there skills i need? Please help.

Hammer mains. How do you do it? The short reach and constant threat of getting hit. Every video I've watched It's montages of people throwing themselves at Monsters and watching them topple. But when I try the same stuff, I get combod instead.

I know the Basics. Charge hammer. Bonk head. Slide and run off walls. Slugger etc.

Granted Hammer does feel easier in Rise than it does in World. Them wire ugs add some nice Verticality. But I still find myself getting hit alot.

So what's your advice?

For me, I had 2 opportunities in my life so far. And both of them I broke off myself. For reference, I am M 30. Several years ago the first one was having baby fever and Despite wanting kids eventually I was not in a good spot for that, I was still figuring out my life and how to live on my own etc. She got upset because I wasn't ready for that step and went and cheated on me with multiple dudes from her workplace at once. When I found out and confronted her about it, she went off the rails and said it was my fault and my duty to take responsibility, etc. So I took responsibility alright and ended it right there.

The second woman was an amazing person. I did genuinely love her, and she was helping me to resolve some of my childhood trauma by getting me resources. She was definitely a good influence in my life. She, however, was a bit prone to jumping the gun off several occasions. Told a friend of my boss at the time I was moving with her (wich she has never discussed with me) wich costes me a promotion at work as the boss did not want to promote someone who was going to leave. She told a bunch of people a bunch of things about me or plans she was thinking of without really asking or talking to me about any of it. It wasn't OK, but I was willing to look past it after I talked to her about it. But then other minor issues started rising. She kept coming over and invading my personal time when I told her I needed some alone time. Invited herself to my friends party when I told her not to come (he wasn't fond of her and I didn't want to ruin his birthday, but he still respected my relationship). Despite all the good she was doing for me. She was also kinda stressing me out alot with how Chaotic she was. But I still loved her. But what finally made me call off the relationship was that she stated she didn't want kids and to not expect her mind to change in the future. I took some time to think on that statement and decided it wasn't going to work out long-term after that because I knew I was never going to let go of that eventually. So I called it off. She called me selfish and transactional. But I hold firm to this day that I saved us both alot of trouble in the future because our desires for our futures were not aligned.

So what's your stories? And was i justified in calling off both chances? Let me know in the comments.

As the title asks. How do you choose a Weapon to main? I seem to be having this issue where I can not figure out what I want to play. I understand each weapon has it's pro's ans cons. But I struggle because of those Cons.

I have tried LBG but difficulty varies wildly from mildly boring as I sit there ans chip away at the monster hp to getting one shot by everything.

I tried HBG and liked it better. But I always seem to get hit during my reload animation or I mistake an animation for a different one and take a shot wich gets me hit.

Insect Glaive does not interest me.

Greatsword and Hammer seem strong but from my experience is very one note and gimmicky

I have tried every weapon across multiple games and I can't seem to have with any of them for too long. So how do yall pick one and stick with it?

The knight sat at the table, his wounds aching, burns on his cheeks. His outfit, once bright and flashy, with its extravagant Feathers, now just strips and destroyed remains on what it once was. His nostrils flare up at the Scent of fresh coffee as it's placed in front of him. His waiter? A Small Catlike Humanoid dressed in regal garb. Alongside the coffee they offer him a small plate of Roast Odogaron Tail and steamed vegetables.

"You there, Palico, where is my partner? Did he?... you know"

The Small Feline looked at the Guild knight with an earnest and hopeful smile "Of course he did Meowster! He is how we located you! Gave the Commeownder all the details before he passed out."

"Th...thank you little one" he says as he sips his coffee. "How long until he recovers?"

The Palico places are small jar on the table next to the meal. A Jar of Vigowasp Honey and Herbal Tea. "We unsure at this time. But Pawlease, trust that we will do our best to help!" As the they finish speaking they bow and begin to leave. "The Commeownder will be with you shortly"

The Guild Knight nods as he shakily eats his meal. It wasn't supposed to be like this. He was the best the Guild had to offer. He was who the guild sent when you had to deal with the worse. So why? How? He has stared down Teostra's and even Gore Magala's. But that thing... it was a threat. He knows that much.

------------------------

The Forest was hot. Hotter than normal. The Knight wiped his brow as he slapped away a mosquito. His Bowgun weighing him down, making him uncomfortable.

"Meowster? You said there is supposed to be poachers in the area? Do we know who? And Why they have taken to killing all this Meownsters?"

The Knight shakes his head in response "Not a Clue who. Reports say whoever they are, they have been working there way up the food chain. First a Jagras, then a Pukei Pukei, etc etc. The Commander got worried when a group of Hunters found a Mangeled Rathalos."

The Palico looks up from his Gadget in Surprise "Meowngeled? How so?"

"Decapitated. Strung up by some vines in the tree's. The Scales had all been ripped from the body, like they were skinning the poor thing. Some of the Claws had been taken as well. The Decapitation thought, thats what worries the Comission the most." He kneels down to look at some black fur on the Ground. "A Nargacuga. Perfect! If my bet on the Zenny is correct, this will be our Poachers next target! Let's find it before they do, or it finds us"

"Not that a Nargacuga will be any issue for you sir!" The palico reassures.

The Knight just smiles confidently as he runs his finger along his Goatee. "One sec" he says opening his Bowgun and loading a Wyvernheart Cartridge into it.

"Guns blazing today? Why can't we ever just do this stealthily?" The Palico inquires.

"Because. It would be no fun. We are purposely loud and Flaahy to give the poachers some kind of fighting chance. Otherwise it wouldn't be a hunt, but simply an execution, and we aren't executioners"

"Unless it's a Deviljho!" The Palico replies

"Exactly!" The Knight responds.

-------------------------

The Knight finishes his meal, his heart heavy with regret, had he been to confidently? Will his partner survive?

"Your Palico will survive" a Old Gruff voice says from the Darkness as the Commander enters the room, tossing a scorched Metallic mask onto the Table. "The explosion was Weaker than the Azure Star Breath of Safi Jiiva. My analyst says it was stronger than a Teostra's supernova though.

The Knight stares down at the mask angerly "That obvious am I?"

"It's only natural after whatever you fought to be worried. If a Guild Knight did not care about his Palico. He would be no better than the Poachers he assassinates." The Commander offers a Gentle Smile as he pushes it closer to the Knight. "It's yours. Keep it as a Small trophy of your Victory today"

The Knight looks annoyed "You call that a Victory?? We both almost died! I don't know if it's dead. And How badly did it Destroy the ecosystem?!"

The Commander laughs as he sips his own coffee. "The Damage was minimal, The environment you were in is known for Massive Bio and Radioactive energy outputs. Or did you forget about that? And True we never did find the body. But we know what to look for now. And we know what it's Capable of. Our Hunters will be informed and measures will be taken should it or more of it return."

The Knight reaches out, arm still sore and barely move able, and picks up the mask. Its strange Framework both durable and lightweight. As if its made of an unknown metal aloy.

"Now. Tell me what happened with that Nargacuga" the Commander gestures as another Guild Knight nearby starts writing the conversation down.

Without looking away from the mask, the Knight takes a deep breath and opens his mouth to begin.

-----------------------

It had been hours of Tracking the Nargacuga. It's tracks were eradicat and abnormal. Like one second it was going about its life normally, then the next it was spooked by something.

"A Nargacuga getting Spooked? That's abnormal, It went deeper into the forest. Ren, keep your Vigorwasp spray at the ready." The Knight says as he Readies his Slinger with a nearby plant, a Spikey pod like fruit with pellet like seeds.

"Undertood meowster!"

Not long later the Knight enters a Clearing, the trail having been ripped apart by a raging Nargacuga, the same Nargacuga that lay dead in the opening. It's tail severed, teeth broken, and small puncture wounds all over its Body.

The Knight scanned the opening for the poachers, but there was no sign of them anywhere. Cautiously the Knight continued to edge closer to the corpse. "Keep your ears open. They might be nearby still" he Whispered to Ren. The palico simply nodded as it pulled out its Sword, a Bonelike Sword covered in blackish scales and smelling of rot, like the sword itself still housed parts of the Effluvium Vaal Hazak once had a relationship with.

The Knight Looked closer at the Corpse. The Small wounds were clean, way to clean, nothing in the Guilds arsenal was this sharp, and most Monsters don't cut so clean, Maybe a Shogun Caenataur, but it way too far inland for such a monster. The knights frustration started to grow as the Clicking started to get to him. Constant and low, like a bug chirping, irregular, but consistent rhythm.

"Ren, would you shut up! Why are you doing that?" He asks as he turns around.

"It's not me Meowster, I Hear it to, clicking, mixed with heavy breathing that's been muffled"

"Muffled heavy breathing?" As the Knight turns to his Palico he quickly reaches for his Bowgun "Get down!" He yells as he starts blasting into the nearby tree-line. The Palico ducks as he watches his Knight blow apart nearby tree's with his Wyvernheart. Shooting at nothing? No thats when the Palico see's it.

Jumping from tree to tree, avoiding the shots, clicking and laughing, a Humanoid figure, almost invisible. Like a Chameleos in human form. A Click and a Thus later as the Wyvernheart Cartridge hits the forest floor the Knight scans the treeline Calmly. Then as if taunting him. They both hear it.

The Knights voice, repeated back to them, in some sort of mimicry "Get down!". It sounded distorted, unnatural. But the Knight did not ponder what was coming m in one swift motion he grabbed his Palico and dodge to the left as a Blast of energy whizzed past there position. Igniting the nearby foliage.

"Oh! New competition? I was hoping you would make this fun!" The Knight yells as he starts blasting Spread Ammo into the Tree-line.

A Soft click nearby alerts the Knight of something as he jumps, a Razor wire, about ankle high, flies past him and over the Palico as they duck for cover.

"Came prepared did you? I guess thats what the guold does hammer into our heads. Prepare and prepare! I can assure you you're no match for me, I've dealt with Chameleos before, I know how to find you!"

There is a thud nearby as if something had just landed, ans without hesitation the Knight shoots his Slinger in that Direction. With a loud snap the Fruit burst open and the Humanoid roars in anger. Not yells, not groans, Roars. For a brief moment as the Humanoid is visible his eyes light up a bright red, a tri laser reticle comes off the side of his mask. The Knight reloads his shots 'wait for the dodge. Draw the attack out' he thinks to himself

SPLAT

The Knight smiles as the Large Humanoid looks down at the blue Paint on his chest revealing his location. Instead of looking at the Knight, the Humanoid uncloacks and looks at Ren. The Palico's eyes open wide with fear as he drops his slingshot as the Hunter's Slinger turns out to be a pair of Wrist mounted blade.

"Meowster! I think he's mad!" Ren yells as he starts to flee. The Humanoid leaps farther than even an insect Glaive user, about to land on the Palico when a solid spread shot to his side knock him into a nearby rock. Glowing Green Blood Splattering up the rock. The knight notes that wherever the blood came from, this Hunter seems unphased by it. But the Knight also noted something else. Something now flying straight at his face.

The Knight, Guard and Deflects the Massive Rathalos Head Maul with his Bowgun shield. "Holly hell man, Meowscular feeding you extra protein??" The Knight says as he turns back to the Hunter.

The Humanoid uncloacks but does not reply. Just clicking and heavy breathing. That's when the Knight realizes something. Despite his humanoid figure, his proficiency with traps and weapons and his Gear looking Artian in Nature. This thing was not Human. This was confirmed when it removed it's mask and let out a Roar that would Rival most Large Wyverns. Stunned by the sound the Knight watches as this thing Wipes the blue paint off its mask. "And I thought Kezu was Disgusting to look at it" The Knight says the thing puts its mask back on. "Where are you from? What continent? This area is under protection of.. whoa!"

The Knight dodges just in time as an Arrows wizzes past his face, grazing his cheek and leaving a clean cut, so clean he did not notice it until the blood started to come out.

The Creature Drew Another arow as the Knight raised his Bowgun. A Standoff. They both stared each other down intently, the only sound being the forest around them and the creatures clicks in between breaths.

The tension was broken by each one firing. 1 Arrow. 1 Pierce rounds. Both just deflecting off each other. The Arrow lodging itself down the barrel of the Bowgun, ripping it apart from the inside. The Pierce round slipping between the protective playing of the creatures arm piece and hitting it in the shoulder.

"DAMNIT! This thing wasn't cheap you know! Do you know how hard it is to fight a Fatalis and live!" The Knight yells as the Bowgun starts to whir and heat up.

The Creature let's out another Roar as the Knight Panicks and throws his Bowgun in its Direction. "NOW!" He yells. Froma Nearby Bush Ren Hops out with a Gajalaka, Both throwing a Meowlotive bomb at the Creature.

KABOOM

There is a pained Scream from the creature as he is hit with explosives from 3 seperate Angles. The Knight Rushes forward to Tackle the Creature, his Carving knife in hand. But with a Single leap the Creature clears the gap to the openings edge, climb a nearby tree faster than a Kadachi, and with one glance back at the Knight, vanishes Into the forest.

-----------------------

"Interesting!" The Commander says as he sips his coffee again

"You have to beleive me Commander, that thing wasn't Human!" The Knight yells as he slams his fist on the table

The Commander holds out his hand "I do. No ordinary Human or Hunter could do what you say, ans the Damage to your Bowgun alongside the testimony or the local Grimmlakyans support your claim."

The knight seems confused "You... you spoke to the local Feline's?" He asks.

The Commander nods "we did. They have a name for the Creature you fought. Apparently its not there first time here. And it wont be the last."

"What is it?!" The Knight demands

"I still wish to hear the rest. But I will give you the name. Perhaps it will help."

"Please do Commander! I will work with the research commission to fill out its file"

The Commander smiles as he leans back in his chair

"They say it's species refers to itself as... Yautja"
