blooding the hounds of hell - round six

Lasher's plan was solid and made good sense. Dante looked at the two who were assigned his side, ensuring they understood the direction. He did sense what Lasher wished and when he wended a way, took towards the opposite, certain the others would follow him as told.

He kept wide, as he assumed Lasher did, but did not confirm this until he deemed them close enough to the deer. There he paused to await a signal from the hunt's lead, for only in charging together could they force the herd into enough disarray to scatter. The elk would only refrain from fighting if there was enough threat to keep him wary.

When they attacked, he would aim to cut from their current flank. If the healthy tended his direction, he would attempt to spur them away from their target and widen the gap. If not, Lasher could do the same from the other side while his group forced the lame cow into a different path.
