Noctisardor Bypass We can fight gravity with our legs

OKAY 1d20 roll for adult deer = 10, young deer = 13. So use those as you will, but currently the adult looks more appetizing, but neither are doing great!

The older of the two deer was in the rear of the group, though neither seemed to be making headway against the wolves. Perhaps it was the depth of the snow providing more resistance to the long-legged, small-hoofed beasts than it was for the large-pawed carnivores. Whether it be that or some unseen ailment that made this pair slower than they should have been, it was a welcome break for the wolves.

Thanks to the famine, Arbiter wasn't exactly at her heaviest, she moved along at a good clip likely at the lead of wolves-not-named-Jomyo, keeping turns tight to save distance. Her attention was primarily focused on the doe -- if somehow they could get both, that would be wonderful, but that would almost certainly take more of the pack appearing from nowhere or just dumb luck on their part. Like the deer tripping over its own hooves kind of luck. 

She had noticed their lack of speed and that urged her on. Perhaps they could end this quick... She barked to signal Kaertok and Terance to move forward with her and picked up the pace a bit, trying to close the distance before the deer managed to get up to full speed. It came with its own risks, sure, but being within striking distance would be far better if the deer were as weak as they seemed.

Spook had moved up and was shadowing Jomyo now -- he had always been the lightest-built of the trio, so matching her speed was easier than just about everyone else in his family. He was just about following in her footsteps, letting the wide arc keep everyone in view.
