As they leave one of the older women says the word "Azimu".
Assuming that the woman has had a child taken by the predator, Chiemeka puts his hands up to his mouth and calls as loudly as he can, "Azimu!".

Pulgil drops to her knees to examine the ground minutely for a minute. If no evidence can be found of the trail, she will stand and continue in whatever seems the most likely direction to her for a creature to travel. Randomly if necessary - better to be moving in some direction in case it is right than to stand still if there is no other evidence.
As Pulgil knelt to check the track there was suddenly a great weight on her back and her face was driven into the soft loam and fallen leaves.
Chiemeka started as a huge grey brindled creature threw itself from somewhere high in the branches ahead to land on Pulgil, jaws already moving to close on the back of her neck.
It was a cat but very large....the size of one of the plains lions but it obviously climbed as easily as a leopard. He racked his brain as the grey semi-striped and spotted coat called to mind the word
Mngwa .
OOC: Combat has begun. It aced its Stealth check against both of you.
