AWKWARD ZOMBIE

>wait to see if it does anything

>You wait to see if the critter does anything. You lock eyes and after a tense minute it slowly begins to crawl out from the shadows. A large puma emerges slowly strides towards you, it's muscles rippling underneath it's silky obsidian skin. It doesn't look mad, but it's getting closer, not more that 10 feet away (3 meters?) and closing.
What do you do?

>slowly approach the puma

>You take a step towards the puma. It roars loudly as soon as you do, soon taking an offensive stance, back on it's haunches, ready to pounce.
What do you do?

>Keep moving towards it

>You take a stance and get ready to fight. The Puma begins to circle slowly.
Will you take out your Katar or try something else?

>rush it

>Roll to see if you are sucessfull.

I got 16

>You rush the Puma, but it realizes your plan and charges as well. You collide with the puma before either of you could've done anything else. You try to get away to try something else but it pins you down, it's claws digging into your shoulders. It opens it mouth, canines sharp as sabers ready to rip out your throat when you hear a clap. Then someone says,
"Jujube, down boy!"
A man stands at the far end of the cliff, clad in a crimson suit, raven black hair atop his head. The puma takes a second to get off of you, as if it was mulling over it's options. It slowly slinks to the man in red, taking a seat by his side.
What do you do?

>thank the man and ask his name

>You get back yo your feet and thank the man, then ask him his name He laughs heartily.
"My name matters not to you. You're here for the tournament, yes?"
How do you respond?

>reluctantly answer yes

>You confirm the man's suspicions. He lets loose another meaty laugh.
"For a second there I thought I should've worried about you!"
He turns around and follows the trail back into the jungle.
"Dispose of him Jujube."
Jujube the puma charges at you. With nothing but the cliff behind you, there's nowhere to run.
What do you do?
