Ghoul

A white figure loomed in the darkness as he entered a foggy bog. Almost blending in, or looking like a spirit that roamed along the surface of the world. The only part of him with color was his multicolored face. With it hovering in the shadows, his keen eyes looking around while ears flicked and nose twitched to catch something worth bringing back for the pregnant females.

Onslaught, Ardeth & Malacath

Coming up alongside his brother, Onslaught kept his nose close to the ground to try and pick up the scent of prey. Behind him were Ghoul and his own half-brothers, Ardeth and Malacath.

Ardeth was being tested for possible entry into the coalition, but Malacath was simply here because he seemed to be attatched to Ardeth these days. Ardeth took the opposite side of Ghoul, his sharp eyes trying to spot any movement that would give away prey. Malacath copied the three older males, trying his best to get involved.

Leopeson, Martimoor, Xuvan, Tuft, & Vensaii

Leopeson took position on the opposite side of Ghoul, blunt nose to the ground as he worked over the odors presented. He was not particularly fond of this murky, soggy area, but he was not a complainer. If anything, he would try to use the landscape to their advantage and drive spindly-legged prey into deep water where they'd be slowed down.

Martimoor was fanned far off to one side, while Xuvan was at the other, flanking the group as they too put their senses to work. Martimoor was keeping a close eye on Ardeth as well, judging and inspecting the other.

Little Tuft and their younger brother Vensaii trailed behind the group, but not by much. Vensaii was also eager to join in the Coalition, but like Ardeth, he had to prove himself as well.

Buffalo

A buffalo came out of the bushes.He was a full grown male.Eyes narrowed at the other animals he snorted his anger.Silently he stomped his hoof warning the other to back off or they have a hrad time catching him.It meant he go down swigging all in all.He was challenging them like a predator would challeng the prey,but the other way around.He swung his massive head around showing off his medium sized horns.

Leopeson, Martimoor, Xuvan, Tuft, & Vensaii

Xuvan swung around, leveling his broad head with his hunched shoulders. A dense, short-furred tail lashed once before settling into a stilled position. "Looks like dinner found us." He grinned, passing an eager look to his Coalition brothers.

Leopeson took a few steps forward, lifting his head just a bit, "Stay clear of those hooves. The legs may look spindly, but a single kick can kill or cripple." He warned, mainly for the benefit of the three newer tag-alongs. Then he dropped his head down too, shoulder-level, as he adopted the stance of a stalking cat.

Martimoor and Tuft broke off from the group, each traveling in wide semi-circle to approach either side of the buffalo. Little Tuft made a rush at the beast's flank, but sprung back at the last second. At the same time, Martimoor plunged forward, but instead of backing off, he leapt strong and tried to land on the back of the bison.

Xuvan circled around back, timing his attack with those of his brothers. As soon as Little Tuft had made his mock rush, Xuvan pounced for the buffaol's hindquarters.

Leopeson made his way for the front of the prey, but didn't dare get close enough for those horns to reach him. Instead, he would take quick swipes at the beast's muzzle and then scramble back. Trying to keep his attention focused on him, and off the others.

Vensaii, for his part, was too young to be of much help in the beginnin. He tagged along with Little Tuft and waited for orders.

Ghoul .+. Hazard

Ghoul looked at the tag-alongs and nodded to them "Be careful, but show your strength" When the others pulled away an initiated their attacks, he came out after Little Tuft made his mock and took his place. But instead of a fake he bit deep and hard into the side of the bison. Backing off immediately and then going at him again.

Hazard, unsure of what to do, tried to play as a second distraction. As Leopeson swung at the bison, Hazard began a barking fit. Moving from one side of the bison's head to the other. If the bison were to ignore him at any moment he would lunge an attack on his face and back away only to continue his fit.

Buffalo

The male buffalo reacted like any buffalo would.He kept bucking and throwing his head around going for all thoswe wolves.If you think his head's going one way then he'll snake around the other side.When Martimoor jumped at him he stepped to the side trying to make the wolf land into his side and make him see stars.With a loud snort he started to plunge into a series of bucking and throwing his head around.He frailed his legs at the younger wolves when he got the chance.They were biting his hindquarters and he didn't like it by the way he was failing his hooves at them.

Onslaught, Ardeth and Malacath

Onslaught plunged forward with his brothers, running round the side of the buffalo while looking for a place he could help out. Instead of attacking the bull to kill, Onslaught went for a crippling move, launching for one of the supporting fore-legs while the bull lashed out with his hind-legs. His jaws were aiming to crush the bones in the limb, so it would be easier to take out the buffalo later.

Ardeth also circled round the buffalo, but attacked the rear end of the beast. His jaws were aiming for the soft flesh near the rear of the beast to cause it pain and make it bleed to death.

Malacath, too young to strike in the beginning of the assault, joined in the barking to try and distract and disorientate the bull.

Buffalo

The buffalo swung his head at Onslught as he got ahold of his leg.It was let go or take a hit,unless your fast enough to avoid,which means your pretty fast.He bucked as Ardreth grabbed ahold of his rear.He snorted with anger.Ignoring the smaller wolf Malacath he continued to run and buck.

Ghoul .+. Hazard

Ghoul snarled as the buffalo seemed to be unphased by their antics. He growled out, in frustration, to order some bizarre command. "Grab his legs, watch the feet. Pull his back legs back and front legs forward. Try and get him on his side." at his words he went for a front let. Bitting down and hoping to pull the leg backward to trip the beast.

Hazard snorted back away this was getting oh so messy. Instead of doing as Ghoul said. Hazard went into the woods. Searching for a sharp stick. He snapped a few with his teeth before finding a pile of sharp hard stick about one foot in length. Gripping down hard on them, he came up to the side and attempted to plunge three to five inches of the stick into the hide of the buffalo. Only attempting kill him the way he saw humans kill their prey in the wild.

Buffalo

The buffalo snorted as Ghould lept at his feet.As sson as he felt the wolfs teeth he lunged his antlers at him quick as a flash.He stumbled,but managed to keep running and not fall.

When Hazrad plunged the stick in him he snorted.It had peirced his skin and bits of blood came out.The stick fell to the ground,but it hadn't gone deep enough to kill.Maybe a inch more it would have.
