Blacktail Deer Plateau in hearts we are guaranteed a victory

This round will end on April 8th! Late comers are still welcome as well. Feel free to help with some of the progression of this thread too -- especially waiting and scouting stuff out, or even spotting the elk as they draw close. Happy easter, everyone!

Out of the breadth of woodland before him, a small band of wolves assembled easily. Of them there was only one he hadn't met before and likewise, he was given a brief introduction to remove that blockade. "I'm Mordecai," he offered in return, though anything else he could have said was short cut by Dante's arrival to the group. A loose smile turned up on his features for a moment before dissipating — Mordecai had said he would make good on his word, and he had. Whether or not their hunt would be successful was another story and largely up to powers higher than themselves.

Lupa and Niria brought up the last of the band; the former's submission in light of their last encounter appeased him surprisingly. "Neither of you are late, so it's all right," he moved to offer, though it did seem that Niria didn't consider herself late by any means. He lingered for a moment to see if anyone else turned up, and when it seemed that they had (or hadn't), he progressed their situation without prompt.

"There's a small band of elk just beyond the last of the incline behind me. Dante and I had spoken about getting some of us together for a hunt, and well, I guess this is it. The conditions aren't the greatest, so we'll have to scout out the elk to find where the weaker ones are. If we hunker down in the hills, we should be able to spot them when they move past to figure that out." And provided that the elk hadn't picked up their pace since he had spotted them last, he hoped they would still arrive before they came that close.

With a glance to Dante, a subconscious check that he wasn't overstepping himself, Mordecai turned towards the direction he had been explaining. "We don't have much time left before they get there, so we should get moving. Stay quiet, and stay low once we're up in the hills." And with that, he set off to lead them towards a scouting locale.
