Heron Lake Plateau Burning Sun

I rolled for Niamh’s hunt, and she got a 2 out of 3, so in my next post I’ll re-roll to see if she can take the bird down.

Niamh nodded silently at Nevouku, and regarded the birds huddled together on the ground. With their tawny plumeage, the partridges would have been impossible to spot in tall, dry grass- but against the green, they were fairly visible.

Giving her hunting partner one more nod, she squared herself up and launched herself forward. The partridges beat their wings furiously to get into the air, and Niamh had to make a leap for one. She caught the bird by its tailfeathers, but they came loose and she came back to the ground with a mouthful of feathers. Without those tailfeathers, though, it wouldn’t be the best in the air, so with her head tilted back and watching, she trailed behind it, waiting to see if it would fail and come back to the ground.
