@Chaska @Krypton @Atari Silver @FitzDutiful

Ok we appear to have lost Semble and Mara due to activity. We will PP them in the background of the hunt. Atari Silver is on absence so please join in when you return, until then I will assume you acted as Mason requested :)

Round ends 22/04, or when everyone has posted.

Also, poor Chaska, it made me laugh too, bless him xD

Mishap

Round 2 Mishap – Then the herd sets off running towards the others, Krypton is head-butted by a young mother defending her calf. They subsequently run off, leaving Krypton to rejoin the chase.

The Chase

They had all taken off as he had asked, skittering away to pick positions that would benefit their pack. Dad arrived, and Mason beamed at him – this would make it easier, to have an old deft hand in the running. Mason felt pride prick his heart when he realised Dad was going to leave him to run the hunt himself, rather than taking charge.

When he believed everyone was likely to be in position, Mason hesitated for a second, feeling the weight of his decision bearing down on him like a flash flood. Then he barked once - and loud.

They were off.

Mason surged forwards, with Mara Susi and Atari Silver coming in from either side of him. FitzDutiful ran alongside them too, pale and handsome as ghostly death. The dream team forming a fan formation. The herd lifted its head as one, and scattered. Mason kept his eyes on his foe – their target. It was as though he could imagine the big red mark on his neck; the mark that would surely be there soon, inflicted by one of his own.

Adrenaline rushing through him, Mason angled past a fleeing caribou and bore down on the old bull, which managed a decent attempt at fleeing. His large hooves pounded the ground as he ran for his life.

Unfortunately for the ungulate, he was running right for Krypton and Chaska.
