The Avocas would not go back after the run in they had with the Nw's, NK stands no chance, the PC males are the only somewhat of a threat and even they wouldn't dare. Lions have territories for a reason, the PC males wouldn't challenge a coalition like the Nw's because they cannot compete. If OE was hanging out out of his territory, then the PCs might engage him but even then they probably wouldn't unless they believe him to be in their territory even though they are still pretty much nomadic. So what's the fuss about?

The thing is, its a paper reality. We look at a territorial map and assume that the minute another lion steps foot in it that the reigning coalition will drop everything and attack them. 

But in reality if a coalition prefers to stay at lets say the south of a territory and/or are preoccupied with mating. The north is left virtually undefended. We saw this during the Avoca incursions in BB territory and specially nomadic lions use these areas to safely use territories. So for prides it can be a matter of life and death. Reply
