Naraku’s little incursion with the merchant would’ve worked wonders but as he left the scene the man went into his back-storage area and wrote down the description of the kid in some sloppy hand writing. Making sure to make the fact he was a part of Team Instinct, and he was a rat and a snake that needed to be taken care of. After doing so he’d return to his normal post and continue to try and sell his items to other villagers and travelers alike. As Naraku walked to reunite with his team he’d run into Takahiro first. Takahiro would call out to Naraku as he was walking slightly in front. Cupping his hands over his hands he called out to him, “Oi Naraku. Behind ya.” When he acknowledged, or responded to Taka he’d notice the butchers paper in his hands with the slightly red color staining the top of the packaging which would hint that its some form of meat. When Takahiro noticed the rooster in his hands. He made a confused face and scratched the top of his head before speaking. “So, uh, how did you get that? It’s still alive you know.” Depending on the answer he’d respond again or just shrug it off. Then the two would motion to find Shinra, which when they did he’d be seen at an herbs/game selling merchant. Both of the team members would approach as Shinra was mid bargaining with the merchant.

The seemingly young man would light up as a customer actually stopped by his stall. He spoke really fast but it was clear enough for them to understand for now. “Oh why, yes yes yes. I got got exactly what yer looking for pal.” He dipped down from sight and reached into his cabinet pulling out a small bag of fresh ginseng that he got in a shipment yesterday. It wasn’t very popular but it had many uses for just the right customers. He took note of him saying he was from the leaf and his team was here to take care of the tiger that had been running amuck around the village and the nearby provinces. The merchant popped back up into sight and handed Shinra the little bag of the exact herb. “Just what you are looking for! All I ask is make sure to tell anyone back at the leaf about my little shop! The name is albert, albert and herbs.” Shinra received exactly what he needed and was asked a favor, which he could or couldn’t fulfill it didn’t matter at this rate but maybe sometime later it would.

Now the three would all come together and show what they got, all of which seemed to be perfect for trying to lay a trap and bait the tiger without effectively harming it like Ranta asked.

Now the group would be met with another decision.

Dynamic choice: The group could now do whatever alterations they needed to the food and head into the forest to begin the hunt.

Or they could go to the village elder’s building and ask for the tiger sighting reports to gather more concrete evidence.

No matter what choice they made, after exiting the market Ranta would follow slowly behind them with his puppets in tow.
