Baxcat and Leicat… from the First Wandmaker

Yannuvia, Fisher, Joulie, and Jonna walked undisturbed for a time.
Then a pungent smell filled the air.
“Quickly! Stand behind me!” Yannuvia shouted.
Fisher obliged, the Spellweaver readied a spell, Joulie sheathed her short sword and notched an arrow into her bow, and Jonna readied her short sword.
Waves of nausea gripped them, and tears poured from their eyes. The Mender dropped to his knees.
“Yuck! What smells so bad?” Fisher plaintively asked.
“Leicat! It’s the lesser evil. Fisher, move against the red oak behind us! Stand near me! Can anyone see anything?” Yannuvia asked urgently.
“I can’t see him!” Joulie shouted with difficulty.
“I can’t see anything!” Jonna added with alarm.
“It smells so bad! What could be worse?” Fisher clamored.
“Something that rends us to pieces,” Yannuvia answered painfully.
The three Drelves ineffectively scanned the area.
“I thought Drelves befriended animals,” Fisher queried.
“Not hungry ones!” Yannuvia answered.
A deep growl pierced the air.
“What now?” Fisher asked fearfully.
“The greater evil, I fear. The other piece of the puzzle! The Baxcat! The dreaded Baxcat and Leicat fight in tandem. The Leicat’s attacks with offensive malodorous secretion that nauseates and blinds intended prey. The saber-toothed Baxcat’s great claws and maw then rip the unfortunate prey asunder. This pair has chosen us for lunch,” Yannuvia asked.
Joulie quickly asked, “Isn’t the Baxcat the one that smells bad?”
Jonna replied curtly, “Does it matter?”
