Wapun Meadow turnabout

o:surprise! rolled a success! yay!

With a leap, Dovev surged upwards at the elk's neck. He had used his position in front of them to his advantage, waiting for the moment where his opportunity was clear and the opening to the elk's vitals were open. At that moment, he watched Star jump from the corner of his eye towards the elk. Subtly twisting in mid-air, Dovev's back paws hit the earth first before his jaws found purchase on the elk's darkened mantle. Although he swung only briefly before the elk tossed him off, the onslaught of the two white wolves on her tired body was beginning to give way.

Star had chosen a good target, and the land had been on their side. He couldn't imagine what would've happened if the elk had taken refuge in a river and waited out the wolves, or found some way to regroup with her herd. The cow didn't bother to stop and face the wolves and use her powerful hooves to warn them away, but kept up her slow, tumbling walk as the wolves jumped and dodged by her again and again. It was obvious she was young, this was probably her first- and last- encounter with wolves.

Dovev leaped forward, having fallen behind. Blood was willingly streaming from various wounds on the elk. They had gained the upper hand.
