Ouroboros Spine we've got crosses on our eyes

Ouroboros Spine's Mini-Hunt! Quick notes on it -- there is no arrival post, you're pretty much assumed to be here. I'd love for fast paced rounds if possible and remember, in order to use this thread towards trades and exp, it has to meet the 10/3 count and still follow the posting guidelines! :D

And if you're reading this and realized you missed out this go around, don't fret! We'll be having more of these (among other things) in the future. ;)

Tagging: @Cara @Harlyn @Sitri
Prey of Choice: White-tailed Deer.
Weather: Cool, but damp.
Time of Day: Mid-Afternoon.

Having spotted the deer mid-morning in their trek across the lower reaches of the basin, Mordecai had tracked them effortlessly through part of the territory. The herd of deer was small with no apparent young or lame within it, but the slick terrain of the Spine was proving difficult for them to muster the will to travel faster. At some point, the tawny Spine alpha had slipped away to summon nearby wolves to him, the short and crisp notes denoting a hunt was to be had.

Those who rallied with him surprised him; Mordecai had anticipated the newer recruits to heed his call. Instead he found the healing Sitri and even more surprising, Cara. Harlyn had shown up as well, much to his enjoyment. In spite of his less than stable relationships with two of his more seasoned pack mates, Mordecai knew that they were all capable hunters. When no others turned up due to being out of earshot of his lowly call, he lead them to where he had last tracked after the herd.

“We should ambush them,” he explained quietly from the cover of brush. “Their feet don't favor the ground right now, so I think we can overtake them and bring a couple of them down.” Casting his gilded gaze to the trio with him, he wordlessly offered them a chance to say otherwise.
