Redtail Rise High Risk, High Reward

Their fangs sank into that yielding sack of flesh and Masquerade tore it free from the elk’s body, castrating him with a guttural snarl. Warm blood gushed over their face as they hastily retreated, springing away from the stag’s increasingly erratic movements. Blinking away blood, their golden eyes cut from one young wolf to the next, checking their positions.

Before any of them could spring into action, Augur commanded everyone to fall back immediately. The Ulfr’s ears flattened in confusion. Perhaps in their excitement, they had misinterpreted the intention of his initial bull rush? They didn’t question the hunt leader’s clear command, instantly echoing it through a mouthful of mushy flesh and urging the youngsters backward with a raised tail.

Masque fell back too, swiping blood from their eyes with a foreleg as they tried to ascertain the situation. The adults continued to engage momentarily, Augur and Lilia attacking the elk’s anterior while Ancelin, Avicus and Riley joined their efforts to the rear.

Realizing they must not fully understand the Ulfhedinn’s intended approach, Masque herded the youngsters even further backward. Standing between them and the commotion, they spat out the bull’s mangled testicles to bark for the trio of adults to heed Augur’s order as well.

When Avicus and Riley flanked them with bloodied muzzles, Masquerade shot them a quick grin and motioned at the pair of bloodied balls at their feet. But they quickly refocused, sharp eyes looking to Augur to await his next signal.

I was asked to powerplay Riley this round and I made some assumptions about the other participants. Please tap me if anyone needs me to make any revisions! :)
