The Bracken Woods what good is an idea if it remains an idea? try. experiment

No worries, Ash! I rolled for our success here (perfect roll!) and also rolled to see who would get the killing bite (Krypton). So in the interest of brevity and wrapping up this thread, I've gone ahead and pped the kill. If either of you would prefer I not, do not hesitate to ask and I shall change it! :)

His hunting partners did not question his strategy, and as he went left, Terich took the right and the female took the middle. His gray eyes trained on the deer ahead, he could see unease creep into her. It showed in the lift of her tail, the turn of her ear, and the wideness of her eye as she peered around her for the unseen predators whose presence she felt, sensed.

They moved into position, and before the deer could become fully alarmed, Tagg gave the signal and broke free of his crouch in the brush. He felt the pull and stretch of his muscles as charged forward. The deer predictably tried to find an escape, and instead found the snapping jaws of Terich and Krypton. She was surrounded, flanked on all sides. She put every ounce of her strength into speed and evasion, nimbly dodging around trees and bolting across the slops of the forest, but she did could not shake the wolves.

Her speed temporarily put her out of reach, but the wolves' restrained run, their stamina, ensured that she she slowed, spent from her efforts, that ground was regained. When the opportunity presented itself, the black wolf gave a final charge, locking his powerful jaws onto her flank. The doe squealed, but with Terich moving in from the other side and finding purchase she was trapped. The female saw her chance to move forward, landing a fatal grip on the doe's throat.

It was as if the hunt had been carefully choreographed; it was efficient and perfect. The deer lay still on the ground and only a modest amount of effort had been required. Taggarik glanced around his hunting partners with a grin. "Good show," he praised with an exuberant wagging of his tail. No one would go hungry tonight, the deer would provide for all three as much as they could eat. Knowing his belly would be full, he was inclined to offer the first bite to his cooperative fellows. Without them, there would have been no meal.

"Eat up!" He encouraged.
