Tasked with escorting Merit, daughter of Senusnet during her daily tasks. Osman joined in this tasking of his own free will. Traveling to the oasis just outside the city for Lady Merit to record some information, we were attacked a by a lone lion Sand Raider. The lion was large, heavily muscled, and of white and black fur.

Attempt was made to dissuade raider from attacking, it failed. Osman engaged while I ensured Lady Merit was escorted to a safe and secure distance before moving to aid Osman and engage the Lion. Osman and I both obtained injuries during the fight, but dispatched the foe. Ensuring our charge was safe, I escorted her back while Osman ensured there were no others near by and dealt with the body.

From conversation during the fight it was ascertained that the lion was lying in wait for a lone fennec to arrive so he could ambush them.

Matoya and I were hunting prey near the oasis when a Lion raider emerged from a hidden sand trap and engaged us. The lion was large, heavily muscled, and of white and black fur, similar to the one from previous encounter. Lion attacked with two swords and seemed more knowledge in their use than one would expect of such creatures. Over 30 throwing knives were found on it's person.

During the fighting the Raider admitted to being under orders to stake an ambush at the oasis. He also seemed intent on capturing live prey. Although this is the second encounter here within recent times, it seems as if a larger plot is at play.

The raider was knocked unconscious during the fighting, bound and disarmed before help was retrieved from the other guards. He is currently in the prison cells awaiting interrogation or further actions.

Matoya and I both received injuries, nothing serious and no fatalities.
