Ferdie stalked a pair of mountain goat for the better part of the morning. Subtly changing their climb down the mountain; The goat though they knew the mountain better then even Ferdie and knew that soon they would hit something that would help shelter them from a single predator.
The goats retreated into a little forest, Ferdie never realized was here on the mountain side, when they entered the tree line he knew he'd need help, so he gave three short howls for the nearest wolves; He wanted these goat. This small forest was thick with trees making a a full out run hard and a straight even path harder to negotiate. So one wolf could not fit through the trees fast enough to hunt the goat. However if there were more wolves the trees that currently sheltered the goats would be their undoing.
There are two goats NPC's feel free to control them.
Ferdie had been so caught up in chasing the goats and attempting to herd them he did not notice Summer, though as soon as summer moved through the trees Ferdie grinned wolfishly and nodded.
Get around to the front of them kept them between you and me and then howl drive them this way keep the trees between you and them Ferdie whispered with a hushed tone. in one hand wanting help but in the other hand he could not bare if the young wolf got hurt
The goats felt relatively safe in the trees so they casually moved away from Ferdie gazing on the tree leaves and brush beneath their feet.
Ferdie scooted toward a more open spot, a spot that the pair of goats might run to if they felt threatened, and hunkered down making himself as invisible as possible, hoping that Summer might be to scare them he peeked through the trees watching the scene intently he could almost taste Goat, his mouth began to water
Aleera could see the understanding dawn on the youngsters maw, following him slightly behind and to the left of him. Her eyes trained on the goat ahead as her form made to proper adjustments to carry her toward the prey. However she would direct a confused gaze on the young male for his howl, now they knew we were here, what are you thinking? Her look would say, although she had little time to wait for a response as she gave chase through the tree. She did not know of Ferdie Von Pelt's presences within the trees and so would not know where to herd the goat, for this Summer would need to direct her.
did you want to use dice rolls or just paragraph,
if we are dice rolling I will wait until my next post to roll if Ferdie landed the goat,
or if we are going with the paragraph on of you guys can say if Ferdie connects with it or misses or I will what ever :D
The goat didn't pass directly over him but hey were so close. His hind feet dug into the earth and his muscles bunched in his hind quarters setting off a ripple that lifted his front end off the ground and propelled himself at the nearest Goat's head, though at that speed he'd likely hit the shoulder of somewhere behind those deadly horns
The Second Goat bleated in fear and turned on it haunchs to bolt unfortunately it conencted solidly with a tree in it's path. The goat then leapt sideways and tried to dart back through the trees slowed up disorientated and running toward the wolves it was running from in the first place
The Second
sorry for the last reply. I unfortunately am not familiar with the dice method... But if you want to go that route I can re-post. For now I'll just go by paragraph.
Aleera headed the call from the younger wolf who ran along side her. Trying to veer the goats to the right. Slightly behind her pack-mate, Aleera followed his lead, chasing them toward the trees, although she still had no idea why. As the made there way into the trees however, the sight of Ferdie Von Pelt reveled the plan to her, with a smirk on her maw she watched as the Alpha connected with the animal, only to see it rear it hind legs bucking, trying to free itself. She was quickly distracted by the onslaught of the other goat, it looked somewhat dazed and confused. She thought better than to try and grab it, it would take more than one wolf to succeed, with only three of them there was a very slim chance that a second goat could be brought down. Instead she snapped at the creature alerting it of her presence causing it to jump away, frightened of the ferocious wolves it now found itself among. Refocusing her efforts on the goat Ferdie was dealing with, springing forward to aide in whatever way she could think off.
I'll roll to see if it escapes on my next post. Whee! I finally figured out dice rolls!!
Summer took in the entire scene as best as he could as he ran. When Ferdie burst free of hiding, he slowed slightly to give himself time to decide how to act. The unknown packmate continued forward at top speed to take down the goat with their alpha, leaving the other creature to stagger off on its own. Summer watched as it crashed into the trees and faltered. Instinct took its toll on the boy then and he put on a burst of speed as he changed his direction and went after the injured creature.
The goat, in its confusion was launching itself unknowingly straight at Summer. As the young wolf approached, the creature seemed to catch itself and tried to turn. Its hooves scraped uselessly against the ground as it lost its footing again and fell. The boy felt like his muscles were bursting with adrenaline as he struggled to push for more speed, desperate to grab it before it pulled itself back up and bolted again...
Dice Roll: 7 (3+ Success)
Summer leaped as the distance was closed, and while the goat was scrambling to get up again, he connected. He claws sank into its sides while his jaws latched onto the back of its neck. The creature bleated with terror and began to thrash, Summer clinging desperately in hopes of bringing it to the ground.

Success: 3+
Whoo! *slapping on ending*
The goat was a determined fellow, but unfortunately for him, Summer was just as if not more--plus, he had teeth and claws to boot. The poor creature flailed as hard as it could, but in the end it stumbled and fell. The boy released his hold as he and the goat came crashing to the ground, only for a few seconds though as he realigned himself and doze back in for the kill. He felt the creature's blood flood over his teeth and tongue, growling with satisfaction as the remainder of its life leaked out with it.
Further away, Aleera and Ferdie were taking down their own prize, but Summer paid them little mind as he stood triumphant over his own. He ought to have been nervous about beginning to eat before the approval of his alpha, but a power rose up in the anxious young wolf and he dug in regardless of what Ferdie or any other pack member would have said at that moment. Later, he would back away and allow Ferdie and Aleera to eat first, them being higher ranked than he. But he would wonder on that strange feeling in those few moments he had the kill all to himself--in those few moments when he had been king.
