Haunted Wood Punishment was cure for those Who dare to cross the line

3°, currently it is snowing/misty and set during late afternoon. Located in Haunted Woods, borders | ooc notes: Coyotes!! They're come to steal our caches! The thread is open for 3 other players to join Vengeance on fending them off! I will mark this thread as closed as soon as we are full with participants

They weren't subtle. The sound of their scurrying was loud enough to echo through the woods, carried by the fog as the Warlord hurried along the path, guided by the rat clinging to his shoulder. Aldrich had warned Vengeance on a pack of coyotes spotted nearby, and the Warlord remained close enough to the borders to listen in and anticipate their movements...

Four. The rat told him. Four coyotes in a band, starved and desperate for food. Thankfully a good portion of Nightwalkers were cannibals, picking off any bodies they find or stave off at the borders - so their caches were rarely empty. The famine had given them more power than one would think, their bellies, for the most part, were full, but that didn't mean Vengeance was willing to share. No, if anything, the coyotes would be his next meal should he catch one. 

With a snarl he ran into the group, furious and roaring as he alerted anyone nearby to hear the fray. The group scattered, whining and growling in their own frustration, eyeing the muscled beast with hunger painting their faces. The rat had long hopped off and taken shelter in the trees, watching... waiting for his own meal at the turn. 

Circling the group, hackles raised and yellowed fangs bared - they watched him as well. The moment anyone would come to investigate the sounds, he would lunge for the first coyote to get distracted by a new face entering on the Warlord's side.
