Pack Roleplay

The brute smiled to hear that the female was on board with his idea. ‘Very well’ he nodded at her trotting off further towards the elk herd. ‘Make sure your out of the way by the time the herd arrives’ he said not looking back. He proceeded to head towards the elk and worked his way around the lot of them. He looked for the best way to keep them all heading in the same direction. After the brute had made a couple rounds of the well sized herd he began his herding process.

He started off by getting them tucked up against one another gathering them into a smaller pile of mass so it was easier to control. He then used fear to pressure the herd to move in the direction that he needed them to, making sure they all stay together, snarling and barking at them baring his teeth and showing he was a threat.As the herd moved they stayed as one making it easier for Seth to control. He started to pick up the pace as it was barely a stampede. He went from a light gentle trot to an energetic run- gliding swiftly across the land.... he went into an attack mode coercing the herd to get away from the threat - that was him. He kept them going straight towards the female and the bewildered bear. He started shouting warning the female to move, as he had the racing herd of elk heading straight at them. ‘Poker! I have the stampede. Get the bear!’ He shouted over the sound of thundering hooves hitting the dusted land.

All that was left was to somehow get around the herd to help poker. He ran a distance around them seeing them still stampeding as a group and having to pick up the pace, to reach the others in time. He finally reached the female. ‘Now to get the bear angry, we don’t have long .... I can lead it .... if you want?’ He said leaving the question open for her. His breathing harsh and erratic from the change in pace.

The brute faced the elk coming straight for them. Easy - annoy the bear then run at the stampede.... and make sure not to get trampled. ‘I’m going to have the beast chase me through the stampede of elk. Poker I need you behind the bear to keep it driving forwards and to keep and eye on it from behind. I won’t be able to know if it had stopped following me’ He spoke in a rushed tone seeing as they didn’t have much time. With all that he had to say out, he attacked the bear ,trying to bite it and claw at it, trying to seem like he was a threat. Seth then allowed the bear to try and have a go at him. Keeping his distance - he turned and taunted the bear to chase him.... as it looked like it wanted a challenge. He broke into a light run not straying to far from it so the bear could still see him , but staying a safe distance ahead. Towards the stampede they went.

The brute carried on running until he finally saw the herdling stampede ascend upon him, the bear and one of his fellow pack members. He continued to close the distance between them. Finally he arrived at his destination. The herd. He never backed down, his paws thumping across the stretch of land. He reached the herd and realised how fast all this had happened - his speed combined with the opposing speed in the opposite direction with was aimed towards him. Could he weave between the elk fast enough? That, he didn’t know the answer to.

The brute shot a glance back and frowned, knowing that this was going to end badly if he didn’t do something . He saw poker wobbling as she ran. She couldn’t go through with it. He didn’t know what was up with her but the only thing he could think of was to have her stop and he could finish it. He made a decision but he was not sure if she would listen to him. ‘Poker fall back!’ He called running head first into the elk. All he could hope for is that she heard him and stayed safe.

Seth got past the first few elk swiftly, to then proceed through the herd to then realise they were ascending upon the centre. He shot a glance back. What he saw made him panic. ‘Poker... what are you doing?’ He sighed heavily to himself, turning to face the path that he had chosen. The bear was closing in on him seeming to grow more aggressive. Well definitely no turning back so through the herd it was. To try anything else at this point would have been suicide, for all of them. That he couldn’t risk. As soon as he hit the centre he carried on straight threw weaving more randomly threw the elk hoping the bear wouldn’t be able to cope with the quick random turns. Finally he found his way out of the elk and started growing to a halt. Time to see the results he turned around.

What he saw made his heart thud rapidly. No bear but a pack member who didn’t look in good shape. He ran to poker and sat down staying with her to make sure she was alright. ‘Poker.... are you okay?’ He asked eyes full of concern.

'Stay here' He told her. ' I'll be back' he followed up shortly. The brute wondered over to the fuzzy lump on the ground. By this time the elk had scattered and were all gone. He growled lowly to the bear, his fur raised, crouching ready to attack if it was a trick. The beast looked up with a battered face and slowly got up, struggling. 'GO!' He commanded to the wild beast. The bear turned, limping away slowly , back into the large wilderness where he belonged. The brute wondered back over to his fellow pack member Poker. 'The bears gone and wont be coming back for a very, very long time... he learnt his lesson. Now he knows what happens when he messes with the wrong pack. He will think twice about coming back here.' He reassured the female with a calm, warm tone,smiling.

He wondered beside her. 'Lets go back to the den poker' His tone calm and thoughtful. 'You look beat and im ... well me.' He chuckled to himself. With that he began to slowly walk back to the den, glancing to her every now and again.

Lowering herself down upon the dry land she kept her emerald eyes on the others silently, watching them swim about in the water and having a blast. "You all seem to be having fun there." She said speaking softly. Finally pulling herself up to sit in her rear, her tail curling against her rump and ears held in a relax position. She didn't dare step closer to the water. The small dam just didn't feel all that comfortable to join in, just imagining being in there gave her a cold chill down her back.
