OOC: I think the ambush idea was before Growling Ape returned and was able to track. With Shakou's help, he can follow the tracks now (the time is still sometime mid-morning), or you can wait until dark to try to ambush the creature. Two caveats for that - there's no guarantee it will return tonight, and only the nai-nek-chai have low light vision so Three Flowers and Mystal Mar will be at a disadvantage.
I'll leave it to you to decide.

Annika nods.
"I'm fine with it." She smiles and brushes her hair out of her eyes. "Just making sure I know what's going on. If we're going to track it I could fly above us and keep an eye out for trouble ahead."
Her voice was hopeful...it had been a long time since she'd had a chance to just fly.

"It may be a bit difficult to see the creature if we end up tracking it inside the forest, unless you're comfortable flying in that environ... as for the course of action, I'm fine with either... I should be able to tell when the thing is close..."
Shakou answered to Annika, looking to the others as she awaited the consensus of action.

Growling Ape studies the tracks, supported by whispers from his spirit guide and input from Shakou. The tracks lead into the bamboo forest.
Away from the mud, they become harder to follow but here and there are trodden undergrowth, strange scratches to the waxy green culms of the towering bamboo, and sometimes tiny specks of dried (goose?) blood.
The forest is old and untamed. The trail leads gradually uphill, over mossy boulders and fallen, rotting culms. The bamboo canopy becomes heavier, letting sunbeams through only fitfully (and at this point, if Annika is giving "air support", it becomes harder for her to follow the movement on the ground, although her eagle eyes would just about allow her to spot her companions). Mosses and lichens become the predominant undergrowth, and thumbnail-sized fire ants the main form of life.
After about an hour of careful searching, so perhaps about a mile into the forest, the ground becomes a difficult terrain of tumbled boulders, climbing steeply up to a fern-covered cliff of crumbling stone. In front of you is a great cleft in the cliff, a narrow valley leading back between high walls. More bamboo at the top of the cliffs provide thick canopy cover for the valley, which is shaded almost to darkness. The trail leads into this valley.
