After breaking camp the jagers headed up the left side of the valley....
While Huntsman's group, headed up the right side; then finding some unusual tracks moved up onto the hill..
The jagers spread out to cover more ground ...The Huntsman's group, sighted two beasts down low on the rocky outcrop to their front ...
they fired at them, hit them but no obvious effect, the beasts moved up the higher on the outcrop...
The jagers heading towards the sound of the shooting, spotted another beast coming along the side of the hill...
The Huntsman's group fired again at the beast to their front. They definitely hit one, but it seemed unaffected ...
the jagers opened fire and the beast on the side of the hill went down ....
as the jagers checked the downed beast was dead the other two jumped off the rocky outcrop and attacked the Huntsman's group...
The men gave some ground as the beasts snarled, snapped and swiped at them; the jagers closed in to help...
a jager badly bitten, went down bleeding profusely. The beast was also badly wounded, it fell to the ground and the huntsman finished it off with both barrels of his shotgun.
The last beast was worrying a jager, as others nearby were reloading their guns...
The beast turned his attention to one of the huntsman's assistants, a swipe of a his large paw leaving a deep long scratch. The man fell backwards cracking his head open on a rock; the beast ran off then turned back momentarily..
then bounded off towards the thicker woodland; the jagers fired at it but missed...
as they followed up they found a trail of blood; it had been hit... they lost the trail in the thick woods..
In the following week and thereafter, there were no more sightings of beast or attacks on livestock.

Summary:
- 2 beasts dead and one wounded losing blood which got away; they assumed it would most likely die of its wound(s).
- 1 jager dead; 5 jagers wounded (bites, scratches and bruises); one of the Huntsman's assistants dead.

A visually enjoyable hunting foray. The dense terrain is most effective and shows the fauna and figures off well.!
Looking forward to seeing more…

This is fantastic. Herself got a giggle out of this and remarked this is something I should try with some of my skirmish mounted figures.
Cheers;
