[As his companion is setting the trap for their quarry, Liem is surveying their surroundings with an eye to picking out a likely spot from which to spring an ambush. There are some decently sturdy trees about, which might be used for either cover or a convenient perch. Though being caught up a tree is never ideal, Liem has no doubts about his own ability to relocate in a pinch.

He picks out a suitably climbable maple with a good view of the track, and circles it thoughtfully as he considers Akua's question.]

The reports I heard about the attacks themselves were confused. It seems to have some manner of ability for incapacitating prey before it closes with them, though from the descriptions I was able to get, it's not clear whether the method of delivery was sonic or mind-to-mind.

Either way, it's best if we can strike at it while it's caught unawares. This should be a good place to attempt it.
