Lombardi stops running, sensing that something is "off" about the bushes just up ahead. He whips out his pistol, aiming it in front of him, and sure enough, a boarbatusk charges out of the bushes straight at him. Lombardi repeatedly pulls the trigger of his weapon as he furiously backpedals. Although the energy bolts form his firearm slow the creature down, the boarbatusk is still approaching faster than Lombardi can retreat. Just before the creature can slam into Lombardi, he raises an aura shield to stop the attack. Lombardi then somersaults around the boarbatusk to get behind it before continuing to bombard it with energy bolts while backpedaling at the same time, keeping his previous strategy. More furious than before, the boarbatusk curls into a ball and vertically spins its way towards its target. Lombardi narrowly sidesteps the creature, folds his pistol and pulls its trigger, releasing an electrical shockwave that launches the boarbatusk upwards, unraveling it and exposing its vulnerable belly. Seizing this chance, Lombardi jumps into the boarbadusk with a back kick aimed at its chest, shattering several ribs. Both fall back to the ground. The boarbadusk stops moving, and the glow in its eyes fade. It is dead. Lombardi takes a few seconds to recollect himself, and then presses on.

After landing softly into the ground, Roxana prepares to enter the woods. Before she can even do so, an ursa major leaps out of the trees. Fortunately, Roxana is fast enough to roll away from the the creature. "Wretched beast!" Showing no signs of slowing down, the monstrous bear lunges at her once more. Without missing a beat, Roxana extends the cable from her parasol at the top of the nearest tree, and then pulls herself to the higher location. When she lands on one of the higher branches, she sees the ursa run towards the tree and proceed to climb it. Not wanting to risk getting killed, Roxana decides it is best to escape, so she immediately floats from the tree, and continues through the canopy of the forest. Within a few seconds, however, she finds herself surrounded by half a dozen ursa minors that had been waiting for her in the trees.

(Tucker, what you do next is completely up to you, but I'm thinking of having Tuckyr come in to help Roxana at this point. Since she's up in the trees, I'm thinking he could cut the surrounding trees to drop the ursas into the ground so he can keep them from Roxana and fight them.  I'm not entirely sure if Beacon students are good enough to take on six ursa minors at once, so I'd prefer it if he doesn't kill all of them, as Roxana is still capable of fighting.)
