dice were rolled in discord by @Shark. You can play out the remainder of the hunt however you’d like.

the creature that appears is… certainly not what she was expecting. it is large and imposing, with tusks and a trunk, and a hide made of something stiffer than leather. it is quite the task but their group is larger, powerful — the elephant is brought down, same as everything else. success rings out, savage and sharp in her breast. a small portion of the hide is taken, as well as a mouthful of food to go — she did not want to eat here, in front of all these strangers. with her spoils, she takes her leave. despite the fact that her hands were full, she takes the opportunity to grab a few more sprigs of herbs before she leaves. better to take them now, than need them later and go without. with one final glance over the fields she takes her true leave — withdrawing back to find a hidden spot to eat her share of the hunt’s spoils.

They gather, and the hunt was on. An elephant was a truly difficult prey to tackle and she had her hesitations. Aspen pushed herself to her limits, listening to the other hunters to the best of her ability. She made the most of her speed and agility, keeping light on her paws so she could move about the massive beast without being tusked, stomped or smacked with its muscular trunk.

Though she was not the one to take it down, Aspen was still glad when it did fall, breathing heavily as she surveyed the other hunters. “Well done.” she said once she had caught her breath, and meant it. Taking down such a behemoth was no small task and it would feed many for days. There was plenty to go around. The Alacine matriarch wasted no time tearing into its thick hide, shearing off the largest chunk of meat she could manage to take back to the grove.

With a polite nod, she would depart the group with her bloody share.

The beast that appears sends a thrill of excitement through the monster -- there are few hunts like that of an elephant. Draven has felled only one before; their prey tended to be the animals that lingered in cold and not hot fields.

"Bjorn we will need you, now. Your strength, for us to bring down this feast." Sweeping ice eyes over the group before they burst in to action. It is not an easy hunt -- he is tired at the end of it -- but they are successful. Of course they are, for they have a God on their side.

With a pleased rumbled he rose on his haunches, scoring the tusks with his claws, sharpening them on the leather-backed creature they had killed. It is satisfying, to see them sharpen on one so formidable.

He shifts, then, and moves to tear in to the carcass. It is hard work, gruelling, his claws and teeth breaking bone; in the end it is worth it. He emerges, blood-stained and victorious, dragging a heart fit for a King. Bjorn is satisfied, and Draven murmurs his thanks before making his way home.

The sight of an elephant lumbering through the twilit fields isn't exactly what Hubert had expected to see, but he certainly wouldn't complain. It just means that he can start the night off with even more of a thrill than he'd first planned.

It's no easy feat to bring the massive beast down, not when one must constantly dodge deadly tusks and powerful tusks, its very footsteps threatening to break Hubert's bones beneath round feet. Even the elephant's voice seems like a weapon at times, its angry trumpets loud enough to pierce his ears even when he flattens them to his skull.

In time, however, the beast is brought down, and Hubert releases the hold he'd found on one of its rear legs with a heavy breath. He drops into the grass, the earthy scent of the fields brushing off on his fur as he shook out his coat. They are to have a feast, then. It's a shame he can't haul the whole thing back with him to the Mire, just to show off to his siblings. A good way to seal the entrance to Luther's den, maybe, if only the Heir wouldn't eat his way out eventually.

As it is, the prince would settle for dislodging one of the pale curved tusks from the creature's face once his belly was full, feeling more than determined enough to drag the trophy back with him, at least. It was about time he got to do a bit of decorating of his own. With one last glance over the rolling fields gradually turning silver beneath moonlight, the boy would depart on a silent farewell.

Well, well. He hadn't realized these hunters would be quite so ambitious. An elephant isn't exactly an average target. Though if the hound is to face this challenge, he will surely be all the stronger for it. And so, he doesn't flinch away.

He remains as steady as ever, focusing entirely on ducking and weaving around powerful tusks and stomping feet, ignoring the burn of exertion that flared each time his muscles flexed beneath his dark mantle. Pushing himself to the farthest edges of his limits is preferable to being trampled. To expand his limits, even more so.

His sides are heaving when their massive prey finally falls, his lips parted on rough pants that he can't quite contain. The hunt had gone surprisingly smoothly, all things considered, and the hound would dip his head silently towards his impromptu hunting companions with respectful gratitude. He collects his fair portion of the feast then, slipping away into the grasses to eat his meal in peace as was his preference.

There's a little pond nearby that he expects should be a good place to rest. When his hunger and thirst are both sated, he can use it to wash the scent of sweat and blood from his fur, until his presence is once again like that of a shadow.

An elephant comes crashing through the undergrowth, seemingly oblivious to the danger that lurks nearby. Before long, lions are coming for the creature, and he follows suit, muscles working in perfect tandem.

In one spectacular leap, he attaches himself to its hind leg, trying to shred and tear the thick skin in a bid to slow it down. The giant puts up a good fight, but eventually it falls, just like so many before it. He has his share—he doesn't get to taste elephant often—before he turns to leave, tail flicking idly behind.

His eyes look for the distant contour of Freyr Peak, and he moves in its direction once found, leaving the fields far behind.

As the dark comes down, he makes out the unmistakable form of an elephant. His step doesn't falter, ensuring his muscles stay warm and ready for action. He's helped fell an elephant before, and though it's not an easy feat by any means, a quick look around reveals the presence of others, some plain to see, and many likely hidden. By now, he's seen what a little teamwork can do, and indeed the party eventually succeeds in bringing down the giant. With no more energy to expend, he sluggishly moves in for his part of the kill. That done, he pads off, in search of a comfortable place to rest where he can let his food digest comfortably.

An enormous creature comes sauntering through the flower field, crushing the colorful flowers underfoot. The sheer girth of the creature gives him pause, but those around him don't hesitate. And with the number advantage they have over the titan, why would they?

Still, he's impressed as they descend upon the giant with unmatched ferocity, and Viggo never strays far. He deigns a few nips at its huge legs, but keeps a respectable distance from the action otherwise. Adrenaline still runs fresh in his veins when they finally fell the creature, and he squeezing himself between the adults he quickly takes his share.

He drags his nails across a rock, making sure they're in prime condition for the way home. With the slab of meat in tow, he hurries home, running his way back across the pleasant fields.

As she began picking out flowers of different colors to take back with her, attention would suddenly shift at the sensation of small tremors under her feet. She would look around, seeing the massive elephant nearby. She had seen lions hunt one of these before, but it was always nerve-inducing. This creature seemed more dangerous to her than any other she had observed.

As the lioness began the chase, she would run along behind them, finding she was getting better at keeping up, or at least not falling behind quite as rapidly. All the running must be paying off.

Once it was taken down, she would wait for an opening, wishing to have a taste. She enjoyed her little meal, but she would not remain for long. Leaving the hunters behind, she would collect her valuable bundle of flowers and begin following the stream back home.
