[Iburi Ray]

He took lead from Guild Leader as he fell back, and Ray himself took the front. He had his ax in a ready position as his right hand griped the lower part of the staff end, and his left gripped a few inches below the steel blades. He kept his guard up and his instincts on edge to react quickly to any possible ambushes. He also was absorbing the information that was spat out to the three of them so as he knows what to do.

[Hazama]

Just as Athos was about to open his mouth to say something, a sound could start to be heard from in front of them. It was still a bit of distance away but the torch Athos had in his hand would illuminate the ground before them. Ray was preparing to step into sticky blood, suggesting that it wasn't exactly new but not old enough to be dried yet, either. The sound was an unmistakable sound; someone digging around inside of guts before tearing some out, then the sickening sound of someone chewing almost rabidly on whatever they had pulled out. But slowly this had turned into a chorus of sorts, suggesting there was more than one of whatever was up ahead.

As they got closer, Athos would gesture for Ichi and Jay to stop moving, having to tap Ray on his shoulder for him to stop moving and making sure to do so. From where he stopped them, the edge of Athos' light, granted by the torch, let them see a fraction of what was happening.

Just on the outside of the flame's light was a hunched over figure, which would have looked human, if not for the sick and dead looking blue color of skin. The thing was crouched on it's feet, it's heels pressing back against the skin tightly hugging it's formed as if trying to rip out the flesh. Of course, blood came from the thing that was being eaten, which was the destroyed and torn apart corpse of a deer. There was only one body and one deer, though, so there had to be more where they couldn't see, where the other sources of sound were.

Slowly the smells of dead deer and dead bodies could be smelt, especially by Ichirou and his strong nose. They had come up to their first encounter. Deciding to let Ray fully take the reigns on how to go about this, he'd perk a brow if the man had looked back at him, his face easily saying without speaking,'Well, what exactly do we do?'

[JayJay]

Much like Ichirou, his senses were above average as well. An archer's senses had to be sharp, as well as their reflexes. And while his weren't on a supernatural level, they were good enough. The string of his bow had already been drawn and the arrow had already been aimed at the predator ahead, only their subtle action of the Guild Leader had halted any further action from him.

Though he loosened the range at which he had pulled the string back, to relax the structure of the bow, he still held it firmly. It was clear what the red headed man wanted, thus causing the Iburi to focus in his perspective. He was also curious about what he was going to choose. From his position, his arrow could easily whizz past Wolf's ear, Athos' shoulder, and lastly, Ray's hair. Sure there was a dangerous possibility of someone moving, but he had more than enough control to refrain from letting the arrow fly prematurely.

[Garō, Ichirou]

Ichirou licked his lips in anticipation as he heard the draw string of Jay's bow tense as it was pulled back, causing his to crouch low and ready his blades as he prepared for engagement of the enemy. Of course they were only waiting on the head of the squad to make the first move before the blood bath would begin, his feral stance ready to burst forth should it be necessary.

[Iburi Ray]

Ray took notice of the blood and made sure not to step in it to avoid making noise and leaving a possible track to be followed, though he wouldn't need to be told to stop as he stopped to hear the noises on his own. He heard the bow from Jay become strained, meaning he was ready to fire it, but as Athos looked at him he decided to take these creatures on. He turned to the group and would tell them their roles, hoping he wasn't overstepping boundries.
"Jay and wolf keep your weapons primed, Guild Leader you stay on alert in case we get in trouble,"Spoken quietly to avoid the creatures from hearing him he would continue with his own role."I will create a clone to go and attack them or to purposely stir the nest. We can't continue with them there."With that Ray would create a clone and sent it into where the light hadn't reached as it would swing the ax towards the one closest to where Athos' light reached.

[Hazama]

Athos raised a brow at the direction given to him by Ray but nodded his head and waved his hand, stating that much was obvious. Though, as he made the clone and the attack came down, it'd strike the beast in the side of it's head.....

And as the first screech echoed, Athos' torch would go out, leaving the group in darkness. Ray's clone would find itself killed almost instantly, but a bite to the neck. But then more screeches followed the first, resonating with each other to create a high pitched noise. Those with sensitive hearing would find the noise unbearable, painful and temporarily robbing them of proper hearing...

And in the darkness, standing at six feet, skin against bone, surprisingly, and no less than a dozen and half beasts would come charging at the group. But not like fools, like a pack, working to surround the group before moving in for the kill.

[JayJay]

Jay's muscles tensed as he watched the clone rushed towards the feasting creature. He imagined that it would be more of a silent strike in hopes of decapitating it, but that wasn't the case at all. It was made painfully obvious to the Nara that the creature wasn't entirely alone. Whatever had been near it, more than obviously seen it perished and alerted the entire pack.

The chorus of screeches sent the Nara into immediate action. With a rapid series of pulses(1) of wind chakra through the entirety of his arrow, he muttered his command and let the arrow fly towards the group with a soundless twang from the wire of his bow. His intention would be to not only lessen their numbers, but to prevent them from surrounding them.

Just as the light was snuffed out, along with the life of the flame sitting atop the torch, so would the sight of his attack. As the wind infused arrow impacted against the very first creature, the technique commanded into the wind chakra of the arrow would activate. At the very tip of contact, all the wind chakra would rush towards the tip of the arrow and spring out dozens upon dozens of razor sharp blades of wind(2) that would stretch out for 15 feet in every direction.

Also, along with the disappearance of their source of light, the Nara didn't stop his movements as he immediately reached for another arrow from his quiver. At the activation of his winded technique, he yet again sent pulses of chakra into the sturdy metal, this time the nature of the chakra was of frigid ice. The Nara wasted little time in muttering his command into the icy chakra and releasing the arrow towards the roof of the dungeon. The arrow flew with similar speed to the first arrow and jammed itself into the roof, the icy chakra would rush towards the roof and spread out like a wildfire above them for an incredible 25 meters. The chakra would obviously freeze the roof of the establishment, for at least a few inches thick, but the main point of the technique would come around the time the wind technique ended. The chakra, being emitted throughout the ice, would bring light(3) to the once brief darkness of the cavern.
