[hr] A hunting we go [@Cu Chulainn][@VitaVitaAR] [hr] “Huh…you're far more observant than I thought.” Though, of course from this distance human eyes would have trouble seeing the telltale signs of blue within the coats of the deer. Akando shook his head, no doubt imagining what would have happened if he had been by himself and decided to track all the deer. “Alright. I’ll take the third. We’ll fire at the same time. Give less chance of them getting spooked…” As Seelay set up, Akando would do much the same, grabbing an arrow from his bow and knocking it. Crouching low, near some bushes just to make sure he’d not be so easily seen as he’d pull back on the string, inhaling a breath to steady his hand. Assuming Seelay was ready not long after, with a nod the two would loose their arrows, sailing through the air. Gideon meanwhile, would choose to engage the wolves that had been slowly slinking their way towards the deer. It wasn’t hard to find them, the beasts being mere meters from their prey, almost ready to pounce themselves…until a barrage of rocks would careen through the air, one of the wolves responded with a loud, whiny howl. This of course, had a negative effect on the deer that were being hunted. The sudden loud howl of a wolf would cause all five to stand at attention, only to have two of the three arrows hit true, fatally injuring two while the third would respond with a startled leap just in time for the arrow to embed itself in its hind leg, stumbling just slightly as it would land and attempt to flee. “Cruses…!” Akando shouted under his breath. “Follow it!” The two deer belonging to the Kyrnith, responded much the same, bolting from the scene. The wolves Gideon had intercepted numbered no more than three. The one that had become familiar with geology had fallen back, whining as it’d tuck its tail under its legs, cowering before Gideon while the other two would growl in return, backing off as the Raam made his best impression of a very, very, angry bear. The wolves would then look between him, and the fleeing deer. The two uninjured would bolt away from them…and seemingly after the same direction the Kyrnith’s deer had run.

Five of them. Two seem to belong to the Kyrnith -A pack of wolves and you seem to have the same idea…perhaps you could scare them off, though they look pretty hungry… [list] [*]The forest is dangerous. Avoiding the Kyrnith is probably the best option. [*]Wolves, Pandillos, Riplings, Swordbills, and Deer are the primary sources of game in the forest. [/list] [hr] Known Animals in Kyr Forest [list] [*]Kyrnith - Highly dangerous. The local Elder Beast. Can control the winds. [*]Kyr Deer - A special kind of deer that lives in the forest. Blue furred and docile. [*]Wolves - your standard wolf. A common hunted animal for food as well as sometimes domesticated. [*]Pandillos - a dangerous and territorial herbivore. Its underside is fleshy while the rest of it is covered in tough armor. [*]Riplings - quick and agile pack animals that glide from tree to tree, attacking animals on the ground from above or from just out of sight. [*]Swordbills - Docile birds that live along the coast. Their beaks are tough as metal from the fish they dine on, and make for great daggers. They have a siren-like cry that can cause temporary deafness from its volume [*]Deer - A common sight in the forest. Docile and tasty. A staple of Dawn’s diet along with fish.

A harsh, cracking like the surface of a frozen lake as Atzi’s club found its mark, the Rimebeasts not having noticed her approach. The beast was knocked clean out of the air by the strong womans blow, sending it careening into the far wall with a similarly sounding crunch where it would fall onto the ground, just a bit dazed momentarily. The blast of fire from Vammy though, seemed completely ineffective. The blast of frost tinged air ripped through the cabin’s interior, passing through the fireball as though it was a mere annoyance, the flames seemingly fizzingly out in mere seconds as most of it would slam into Atzi, chilling her entire body to the bone as a thin layer of frost would coat her skin, unnatural fatigue washing over her as the beast would follow it up with a leap of its own, aiming for Atzi seeming to believe she had been weakened enough. The beast that had been flung across the room was struggling to stand. A few cracks had appeared in its spectral visage, a limp in one of its legs before howling again and leaping on one of the nearby counters, shards of ice forming from its mouth as it would lob sharp spikes of ice towards the pair.

(The goddess has drawn herself shrugging and looking confused) [/list] [/hider] [hr] An eight legged herbalist [@Click This][@Crusader Lord] [hr] A simple enough solution. The deer were rather peaceable most of the time, content to keep to themselves. Lissa approached, the deer paying her no mind aside from a curious glance as she’d head to gather the Kyr Reed. She’d end up with less than she’d have if they’d scared the deer off, but honestly, it could have gone a lot worse all things considered. Perhaps it was for the best not to potentially antagonize the deer. As Lissa and Nylah would go around gathering the reeds, the Mothraki would notice something…odd, within the snow near where she was collecting them. A large footprint of some sort had been pressed into the snow - large enough for her to stand in, and about three inches deep. It seemed to be tipped with five claws. The tracks, led into the forest. That was odd. She couldn’t recall any animal that large or with that footprint ever being in the village - not that she’d be an expert…perhaps she should ask Akando when they returned. Towards the end of their harvesting though, the deer would lift their heads, looking towards the forest…and promptly bolted away from the area. They would leave nothing behind but an eerie silence as the Raam and Mothraki were left alone. The cry of a deer from within the forest was heard. A panicked, frightened sound. …it was probably nothing. They got what they came for. [hider=Current Happenings] [i]A little chibi version of the Moon goddess is sleeping at the top of the screen, a little dialogue bubble with Z’s gently floating up…[/i] Current location: Dawn Time: Morning [hr] Current Objective: Calra has said the followed is what she is in need of. Kyr Reed - A bundle of six Kyr Reed plants have been obtained. Should be plenty to help the village for a while. Wind Leaf - A tall plant with a tough exterior with leaves that only flower near the top, catching the wind. Sea-slug Mucus - small slugs that live on the shoreline in shallow waters. Their mucus carries surprisingly potent healing properties and can be used as a base in a lot of healing salves. Coral moss - brightly colored moss that grows in damp sea caves. Somehow heats itself when exposed to certain other materials, making for good bandages and to slowly warm frostbite. You could investigate that deer call…though you got what you came for. Might be best to leave well enough alone. [list] [*] If there’s a shortage of herbs, that likely means finding some in the forest. [*] Maybe magic could also be used.
