Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

Xandra herself was an aging coyote and not much of a threat. In fact, she had noticed in recent years how tired she became if she was doing too much strenuous exercise. That meant that normally she would have never been so bold as to wander into what is clearly wolf territory and help herself to some of their stored treats. But, they had all grown bold in the last few months, bolder than they had ever been before. And, along with the newfound confidence they had found Xandra had also brought along four of her much more physically able relatives. Her daughter - but not her no good deadbeat mate - and her three grandchildren. No longer babies but adults in their own right, and they were hungry.

Confident and hungry made for a intoxicating combination and so they had flounced right past the borders of the wolf territory. Not only that but they had gorged themselves on the nearest cache, eating it dry. But it still wasn’t enough for the greedy vermin, and now noses to the ground and bellies full - but never full enough - they sought out another, if they weren’t stopped they would empty that one too before retreating to go find somewhere to sleep off their food coma.

His patrol of the borders had turned worrisome for the young Archer. The scent of Coyote crossing sent him on alert but what made it worse was the fact that it wasn't just one of the vermin but four. He didn't jump to conclusions, what if they had snuck in and left despite the scents being fresh. The yearling turned away from his patrol to follow the trail. He was glad that it seemed they had stuff together, they would he dealt with together if they chose to stick around.

Coming through the trees he saw what was left of the cache. Piles of dirt all around it from where it had been dug up. Nearing it he could see that they had left nothing behind, a low growl rumbled his throat. He was pissed that now, what he'd been waiting for had happened. The vermin had finally crossed into their territory and we're eating every bit of food they’d cached away.

Ramiel didn't waste any time sending up a call for his packmates to join him. They were going to hunt the scum down and show them they messed with the wrong pack. Once he'd called for his packmates he set to work tracking the lesser canines down.

Judas ARCHER

by the light of the moon, we run

The black Archer teen had another lazy night as usual, content to consistently wander around, whether it be outside of the territory keeping an eye out, scavenging for food or chasing off coyote, or be it inside the territory, never far off from the lingering scent of Nineva. With Elias having been gone perhaps the youth had been even closer, watching from afar and using his excuse as a 'Queensguard' to his advantage.

At this very moment the yearling was returning back to his home's territory after yet another night of strolling. He had a means to return to the pack den and rest the hot summer day away until his brother's call sounded causing him to alter his route in that direction. As he came had could smell the scent of coyote - quite a few of them but he wasn't sure how many. Three, four, five?? He picked up the recent trail of his brother and the empty cache then, hatred taking toll. He snarled and fastened his pace until he reached his brother's side. "I say we use their flesh to refill our caches."

☾

He was heading to the den to check on Nineva and Ellery - mainly to see if they needed anything but also to remind himself of why he was there. They gave him purpose and the reason he remained in the Lore. His stride paused when a war car from Ramiel bounced off their lands. The Veep man was quick to change his direction, a look of annoyance mixed with rage on his features. What was it this time? Another angered neighboring pack or the vermin that seemed to be circling their borders like prey? He did not slow down as their scents grew stronger, the scent of vermin only confirming his pervious thoughts. Yuka's lips pulled back into a snarl, a furious growl escaping his mouth as his sprang forward. This time, he wouldn't be sitting back in the heat of battle.

Perhaps it was their full bellies clogging up their senses, or maybe it was a case of selective hearing, or a touch of impending deafness but when the call came out of the wolves Xandra ignored it. She kept pressing on, nose to the ground as she sought out another cache to feast on. The same couldn’t be said for two of her three grandchildren who stopped in their tracks before turning around. Sly grins on their faces they made their way towards the howl. They had had enough food, they were ready for a fight.

A part of him knew this day would come, when the coyotes stopped caring about borders. They needed to find the trespassers and stop them before they found Ellery. The yearling was out for blood this time and he hoped as he sent the call for his packmates they would be too. His brother soon joined him, a smirk forming on his dark maw. He knew the two of them could do some damage all they needed to do was find the vermin. “Sounds like a good plan, I'm sure there will be plenty to replace what they've taken.” He'd scented numerous coyote's and now all they needed to do was find them.

Yuka joined them next, it was clear just what he thought of the situation they found themselves in. “You ready to hunt these vermin down?” He asked the older male. It was really a question that didn't need to be answered. Giving the man a moment to answer before he turned and started on the trail that was clear as it took them through the forest in the direction the coyotes had gone, they couldn't have gotten too far. “We need to teach these coyotes they messed with the wrong pack.”

Judas ARCHER

by the light of the moon, we run

The group of coyotes were dangerously close, Judas could feel it, could sense it really is his nose, eyes and ears went to work. Yuka was seen, making his trail in the direction of the coyotes in the same manner. Ramiel spoke, rallying fhe fight though for the time being Judas remained silent if only due to the fact that footfalls made their approach towards them, quickly moving, rushing...

After a few moments it was obvious it was not one of their own but one of the coyote.. And another. Surely he had scented more then two yet perhaps this pair planned to intercept and distract the wolves while their brethren snuck away with another mouthful of food. Judas charged forward, seemingly playing a game of fear tactic to see who would back down first. Whether they turned tail and ran or not, Judas intention was to plow straight into and through them in order to catch up with the other thieves.

☾

Yuka only offered Ramiel a brisk nod to indicate that he had heard what was said. The Left Hand was tired of their borders being passed over and ignored as if they didn't exist. While Judas intention may while have been to scare of their competitors, the creamy russet-hued man had certainly had enough of staying out of the fight. Charging forward - head down to protect his throat - the large brute snapped his jaws and aimed for the scruff of one of the 'yotes, claws outstetched to grab onto any part of his enemy. He trusted that other pack mates would arrive soon to deal with this situation and that Judas and Ramiel could take care of the rest.

First of all I am so sorry this took so long. Round Three. Two coyotes have lunged at Judas and are trying to bite and hold on, one coyote is trying to attack Ramiel and one Yuka, the 5th disappeared without any fight. Please note, there must be three participants in this round which will end October 3rd. Participants who post three times will be eligible for scuffle or fight (depending how many rounds there are) lp as the coyotes are staff played in this thread. Tagging @Yuka @Ramiel and @Judas as previous participants and @Nineva as leader of the pack.

Round 1 of active fighting.

Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

They had been over confident, that much was clear as soon as their vermin eyes landed on the two huge bodies charging towards them. There was even a third a little farther behind and that meant that the two coyotes who had turned looking for a fight were outnumbered. One of them called out in panic for backup but the other had already run the gauntlet of emotions and his adrenaline had landed on fight.

After only a moment of hesitation they both lunged at the wolf that was closest to them (Judas) and grabbed onto any part of him they could capture. Two of the other coyotes soon joined them, one running towards Ramiel and the other at Yuka. As for Xandra, well, she had made herself scarce as soon as the call for help had sounded. She wasn’t going to cut her long life a little short just because her grandkids were hot headed. Without even a second of remorse she had high tailed it out of there, disappearing out of the territory and into the trees.

It wasn't long before they ran right into the trespassers. Now was the time to deliver the consequences of crossing the borders and raiding their caches. There were no words spoken further than what Ramiel had already said. It wasn't really needed as each of the makes were there to defend what was theirs.

There wasn't time to say much else either nor to form a plan because the coyotes started their attack as soon as they came into view. The first two going for his brother and the third was in him before he could move to help Judas out. He face the one running at him ready to take whatever it wanted to dish out, he was determined to take it down.
