The first scenario is called Vanilla Sky and involves your clan in attempting to kill an Apex Grazer, as it is called in the rules. This could be a ground sloth, wooly rhinoceros, or, in this case, a mammoth. For fans of "One Million Years B.C.", it could be dinosaurs.
The clan took it slow and easy on the approach, so as not to alert the mammoth. There was another thicket on the lower left of the table that the bowman snuck into. He was out of range of the mammoth. He crept out of the bushes, and fired at the mammoth, causing a wound, a 5 on a d6. The mammoth merely trumpeted. He loosed another arrow, landing a 6 which causes a critical hit and 2 wounds.
The mammoth with only 1 wound left, flees.
A spearman runs up on the rear of the mammoth, who turns, takes a swipe at the spearman, and misses. The spearman hits on a 6, causing 2 wounds, and the mammoth goes down into the soup pot!
The Vanilla Sky scenario is a simple learning scenario. My wife then played, and also slew her mammoth, though not without a lot more trouble. The mammoth successfully attacked two figures, both of whom are hurt for the next game.
The figures are very old Strategem Sugar Wars figures, long out of production. They are really South American Indians, available long before Copplestone. I have all the nice figures by later manufacturers, but there is a dearth of bows available. I'm looking at Copplestone Amazon Indians with bows to add to my collection.
