"Mememememe!"

Get out of its path and then try to calm it down. Maybe feed it a ration? Giant enraged death lizards love tiny rations!
Spoiler: Caroline Fowlfeather (IronyOwl) (click to show/hide)

((Fort -1 mook vs giant death lizard is go))
Caroline Jumps off the wagon with a brown paper ration in one hand and runs off to the side waving her arms and making strange warbling noises. Very improper.  The lizard, however, slows and turns to look at her, eventually stopping in front of her. It looks down at her, its head twitching about.  It falls back down onto four legs and approaches her, slowly.

((Funny thing here. We never specified which character drove the wagon. Probably someone with Animal Handling, so either Caroline or Corbin; but seeing Caroline's action, maybe it's better to have Corbin drive it for now. Everyone's okay with that?))

A bloody great lizard it is! And likely very, very angry.
Miss Caroline, if you manage to calm it down, you're welcome. But if not, I order you to not get eaten or maimed.
Driver, get the cart away from the creature!
Lads, ready! Aim for the legs, we only need to outmanoeuvre it! Shoot on my command!
Ride to the side and dismount; ready my Leestone Repeater. Aim for the great lizard's legs. If the creature does not slow down and calm down as it is mere several meters away from Miss Caroline or if it tries to harm her or anyone, open fire!
((I am really, really doubtful at how possible it is to tame this way a predator who already set his eyes on you. But hey, it's a d6-based forum game!))
You dismount and keep your rifle trained on the lizard as caroline does...whatever ever it is she's doing. These servants are always up to something; communing with nature or eating rats or raising their children themselves. Witchcraft and balderdash.

Get a cage ready if possible (or some rope from the climbing gear, if it would be easier and I can do that) just in case it is needed to restrain the creature. After that, keep pointing my rifle at the creature. And at Caroline, in case I either need to put her out of her misery or execute her for betraying us and going native.

Edit: Also get a few more rations for Caroline as per expedition leader's orders. Make sure to move slowly so as to not spook the creature.

Aim my Leestone repeater at the giant lizard. Maybe shoot it if it kills Caroline.

Driver, halt! Martin, while you are at it, fetch her another ration, she might need it.
Steady, boys, we still don't know what will happen.

Aim at the creature. Open fire if things get ugly.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll get her our rations. Probably gonna have to cut them out of its stomach with my ax later. Along with that strange woman. Why can't she just jump on it and force it to submit like a proper adventurer?"

"Aw, he's just a big softie 'ant he?" said Corbin, as he leveled his Glastchurch at the beast.
"easy, big fella, we'll fill you full of holes, we will."

Keep the beast in my sights, shoot only if I get the word.
If shots are fired, keep the horses from bolting.

"Aw, hey there, hey there. I'll bet you wanna let me ride you like a horsie!"

Try to get on the lizard's good side and figure out its general temperament. And if it'd be willing to let me ride it as an awesome mount.

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

You jolly well don't think that the cage is gonna hold a 4-5 meter tall (When standing) lizard. You grab a few lengths of rope instead. And some more rations. You throw them over so they land near Caroline's feet.

You keep your rifle pointed at the creature, finger resting on the trigger.

You carefully take aim from the wagon, keeping the reins for the horse in one hand, just in case.

You open the ration and wave the meat in front of the lizard. It stalks slowly in and sniffs it, head still twitching about with eyes not focused on you. It seems to be calming down...simple minded creature, more stomach then brain. You might be able to tame it, if you have enough food.

"Hey, Boss, I know a bit about animals myself, I might be able to help her."

Think about if I could help Caroline tame the beast, or if it's best to let her at it.
If so, approach the lizard slowly, so as not to startle  it.

It not, or if boss says no, stay as I was.

Also, be ready to spout innuendo about the giant lizard and the maiden trying to tame it.

That bloody beast better not bite. Fine, you may try. Martin, take over the cart for now. We better not leave the horses alone close to such creature.
Still aim, be ready to shoot.

If you can keep it under control, and it proves worth the extra ration strain, I see no problem with that. Otherwise...

((Okay, I'd like to recount our options here, Piecewise. About how big and powerful is this creature? Does it have a powerful build to match its height, or is it on the lean side? How big and sharp are the jaws? (Please, please, don't answer that last one by it biting someone. Just a rough comparison would suffice.)
How many rations a day would it cost us to feed it, assuming it does not catch anything by itself?
Finally, if we just took the creature back to the town, could we "sell it off""send back home as a gift to His Majesty" and return on our journey?
Oh, and, purely hypothetically speaking, should we butcher it and cook the meat, how much rations would we get out of it? Just a rough estimate?))

No good, the others will know we can't be trusted then.

Horses, I mean. I see no issues with feeding it chimney sweeps, other than that I'm the closest thing we've got to one of those at the moment.
