Hoth is Very Cold

[Captain Marek]

*After Marek heard all that Leetan Aforni had to say, he crossed his arms* "Very well, we will do this your way, I'll get my blades." *Marek was getting his gear when he heard Leetan yell, running towards where he heard him yell, he saw the giant beast, with a smile, Marek activates his jetpack and flies towards the action. He deactivates his jetpack above the beast and attempts to drop onto the back of the beast, but the Wampa is too quick, it rolls to the side causing Marek to fall into the snow. Marek pulls out his Razor-sharp blade and rushes at the Wampa, the Wampa attempts to tackle Marek, he dodges to the side.* "This is going to be fun!" *Marek says as he again runs towards the Wampa ready for the hunt of his life.*.

(Sorry for the time mistake in the last post, totally forgot what time it was. lol. )

In all honesty she did not are what happened now, as long as they got what they came for and she could do her bit, "No need to give me any weapons, I am already armed, plus not really much of a fighter, though I know how to handle myself in combat. Upon the mandos words she was very confused, it was morning, the sun having old risen a bit, even if one might be mistaken about the time of day if they came from a planet where it was night time, the lack of red shift in the atmosphere and lighting should have tipped on off the fact if was morning.

It did not matter, more people meant less fighting for her, and with the herd several clicks away said fighting would not happen for a while... she could not be more wrong. The sound of a wampa roaring followed by a yell from the Rodain hunter put her on edge, it seemed as though one from the pack staed behind to make sure the others would be able to get away, they were smart like that.

Coming to the scene she was the hunter and mando fighting the wampa, in hand to hand combat no less, this would make for good study, to see how said wampa fights with quick opponents. Making sure her mandoloiran wrist blaster was operations she edged closer to the fighter, recording the event on her eye scanner.

In the end they didn't figure out his idea, it was no matter, the hunters seemed to have their own ideas and he would rather follow them than stand out more than necessary. He went after Leetan when he departed, truth be told Jaedan did not expect combat so soon, but the fight broke loose. The other hunter, Marek seemed to be fighting hand to hand against the beast, not only that but he actually doesn't get killed, that is more many others could say for themselves.

That was enough analysis for the moment. Leetan needed time and it was up to them to give it to him, probably the best idea would be to not use a lightsaber that might destroy the pelt so he did the next best thing, stood close to Leetan and Mordulla ready to go in the action should Marek no longer be able to hold his own against the wampa. Sometimes fighting 2 against one was an advantage, in other cases not so much.

Leetan had to hand it to Marek, the guy had guts. Tackling a wampa ice beast? Seriously hardcore; and enough of a distraction for Leetan to get himself settled. Pulling his rifle off his back, Leetan took aim. No time for a headshot, he had to be quick. As the Wampa tried to attack Marek, Leetan aimed and fired a precise shot into the beast's ankle. The wampa screamed and turned towards the source of what had hit him.

"Switch!" Leetan yelled, avoiding yet another furry paw as he tried to tell Marek to go for his attack.

As [member="Captain Marek"] fought the lab took aim with her blaster, purely for self defense, she might not have been a good shoot, but her eye scanner compensated for it, giving her a HUD targeting cross hair and predicted flight path of the laser bolt that might come from her arm. Though not a fighter this was not dis-similar to a hard surgical operation, one false move and other could die, precision, timing, all was deadly important.

As the Wampa changed target after getting rid of Marek for the time being and two [member="Leetan Aforni"] she took aim, zooming in on the Wampa's foot, 'if it cannot run, it cannot fight'. Squazzing the trigger a red bolt fell out towards the groups prey, hopping that it would hit, or at least stun the beast.

*As Marek runs back towards the Wampa, he sees what @Labkahip Mordulla is trying to do. Marek runs behind the beast, throws a stun dart to its back to distract it while @Labkahip Mordulla takes aim. After she hits the beast in the legs, Marek takes the opportunity to fire a tow cable from his modified Mandalorian wrist blaster, the cable attaches to the disorientated Wampas upper thigh, Marek runs in front of the Wampa and then immediately uses his jetpack to fly a few meters into the air putting immense pressure on the beast to fall, Marek uses all his strength attempting to make the disorientated Wampa fall. But the Wampa is too strong for Marek to handle alone.*

"I COULD USE SOME HELP HERE!"

*after a few moments, the Wampa stumbles onto one knee, but it isn't done yet. Marek lands back onto the ground, still pulling the cable. The Wampa, filled with rage towards Marek, uses its claws to destroy the cable, Marek gets pulled into the snow towards the beast, the beast then rushes Marek getting ready to strike. Marek gets to his feet, focuses for a moment, you then see him take his fist and pound it to the ground, all the snow within 3 feet of Marek flies into the air creating a temporary smoke bomb of sorts. The Wampa startled by the snow stops dead in his tracks, disorientated by the snow.*

Coordinated, well thought moves from the hunter, he never thought there were enough people fighting like that without a lot of training beforehand, there was little time to think about it as the battle seemed to get out of hand, as soon as Marek created his improvised smoke bomb, Jaedan concentrated then sent a strong force push towards the creature's legs in an attempt to make the wampa fall on the snow. Watching the creature fall, he turned his head towards Leetan and Mordulla checking to see whether they would be ready, if not, then he may need to find some other way to get more time. Out of caution he moved more to the left leaving the two so as to not lead the wampa to them should it decide to go after him.

When the wampa's feet suddenly went out from under it, Leetan saw his chance. Throwing his rifle to the snow he charged forward, leaping onto the prostrate beast. With a yell he drew his long hunting knife and plunged it into the base of the creature's skull, piercing nerve and brain. The body twitched once, twice, then was still. Leetan pulled his blade free and shook the blood from it.

"Good hunt," he said to his companions.

 

[Captain Marek]

*Marek sees the Wampa fall as he walks out of the improvised smoke screen. Marek wipes the snow off of his shoulder while walking towards the felled Beast.*

"Well done [member="Leetan Aforni"]. Wampas are smart, in all likelihood, this guy was just stalling us to buy his compadres more time to escape. We better hurry up if we wanna catch em."

*Marek walks over to the beast and kneels next to its lifeless body, then looks up at [member="Leetan Aforni"].*

"As you probably know, Wampas like to use trickery when attempting to escape, considering this guy was waiting for us right here, he must've known that we knew where his pack was, meaning his pack has most likely changed directions by now. We need to scan the perimeter for any indications of where they went..."

[Labkahip Mordulla]

Lab watched the whole fight do down, the three men seemingly working in unison to take down the giant beast, a bit bloodily, but never the lest not harm done to each other. "Yes I agree, he was just a diversion, but scanning for them may prove hard, but I will look for any recent disturbances in the snow, even when its been covered up the density will be different".

She allowed for the hunters to skin or secure the Wampa while investigating the ground, her eyes scanner calculating the density and sedimentation of snow and places where it had been disturbed, stepped on or moved. "Hey over here, I have a trail, the snow going this direction has bee disturbed recently, thoughts its covered up now the foot prints are still traceable, we can follow the pack that way, without altering them to with the use of your drone Mr [member="Captain Marek"]".

Jaedan looked upon the dead creature with no sign he would much care, he stood silent for a while listening to what was being said then felt the need to ask "How are we going to take them all out though? It was pretty hard with one and if they get to us..." then refrained from finishing the sentence. It would've been a bad situation, yet nobody here was stupid enough to not at least consider the fact they needed a different plan and approach for the pack than they did for this lone wampa. He followed suit walking behind Mordulla through the snow always looking forward and rarely moving his eyes around to scan the palce for any possible threats that may show up out of nowhere, this frozen wasteland was dangerous enough already.

Leetan listened to his teammates suggestions, and processed them, putting a sucker-tipped finger to his chin as he thought.

"Well," he said, "First things first is to get this Wampa skinned and processed. That'll take a little while, so while I'm at that you can scan for the other ones." Leetan finished his musing by bending down and beginning his skinning of the beast.
