From the shadows, the hound watches them descend upon the unfortunate goat like a tidal wave. Such a tragic end for the little lost thing. That the word is a cruel, unsympathetic place shall be its final lesson.

As the tunnel fills with the scent of iron, Cerberus would turn away with a shake of his head, sweeping his back into the empty tunnels. There are still pathways here that he has yet to scout, he notes, sliding his striped frame into a narrow rift in the dark walls. He scores the walls and stalagmites in key points with his claws as he passes by, leaving a trail for him to find again when it came time for him to leave once more.

There truly wasn’t much to look at in the dark, and right now, Azhira was relying mostly on her know-how and hearing to locate the others in the party as well as their quarry. It would seem the only planning the lions were doing was to converge upon the lonely, bleating goat in the tunnels. Azhira might’ve blocked the goat’s path once or twice in their dance in the dark. With her perfumed coat, she certainly smelled like something the goat would take to… and it learned the hard way when it naturally wandered towards her all of two times.

It was the sound of falling rocks that signaled the goat’s falling. Azhira didn’t even bother to remain for the prize. Such a small creature for such a large crowd. She’d eat a more substantial meal later, not one shared with some twenty lions. Turning from the group, she headed towards the Moonlit Chasm once more. /exit

More and more lions arrived, until the crowd was so large that she was certain there wouldn’t be enough goat for everyone to even get a taste. She debated leaving, but the sight of @Orchid arriving to greet her swept the thoughts away, and she fell into place with the rest when the hunt began. Too many for everyone to play a large role, but the goat easily fell to them, and rather than fighting anyone for a piece of the reward, she quickly departed. An adam and eve plant was spotted nearby, and a wicked thought crossed her mind, that she almost wished she’d been able to lace the prey with some of that, if only to have made the hunt worth the effort expended. It was a moot point, though, and she didn’t dwell on the thought for long before making her way out of the labyrinth. -Exit-

Reah couldn’t help but notice that more and more lions were arriving. It was a bit strange now, and she wasn’t sure if there would even be enough of the animal for everyone to share. The scent of the goat was rather heavy now. Nonetheless, the dark lioness participated and easily ripped a chunk of meat for herself once it was all done with. Her dark eyes gleamed and glared at anyone who dared to fight her for her piece of food. With that she would make her way out of the cavern, noticing the scent of another Lorien lion through all the others. She wondered who it had been and how she had missed them, but either way, she would perhaps find out as soon as she made her way home.

Hexa noticed that despite how out of the way the labyrinth was, many other lions were beginning to gather. With curiosity she scouted the cavern, wondering if maybe she had missed some sort of greater treasure. Alas, all of this was still about the goat. The hunt was rather quick too, and Hexa decided that it was not even worth it to take a piece for herself. If she did, it would be mere scraps worth a single bite. She decided she would turn around and would instead continue on her run back to the Plains. Once again she would test her speed and see how quickly she could get back home.

Arkyn would stay in the background; there were far too many lions here and he was sure that paws would be stepped on and bodies hitting one another. So, he'd be a bouncer of sorts, keeping the escape routes out of reach from the goat. It was quick, the goat being brought down, and once it were finished the beast would leave. There wouldn't be much, if any, of the goat to go around with all these mouths around. Instead, he'd continue having a more thorough look through the tunnels, taking in the the routes he went through and where they led. Some tunnels led nowhere while some others led to cave adjacent areas that could be used for either dens or large enough space to have meetings. But once he was finished he would exit the tunnels, leaving to mull over what he had found.

It was not a particularly thrilling hunt—not that Bowen had anticipated that it would be—but it had been fun to throw his weight around a bit and to keep the goat corralled long enough for others in their hunting party to take it down. He'd followed the example of several others in choosing to abstain from taking a share of the meat. It had been well enough to get his blood pumping for a bit. It was time to move on.

While he waited, coal eyes would shift around the labyrinth. Vulferam was noting the intricacies of it, wondering if there were any hidden nooks and crannies that could be of some sort of use, but for what yet he wasn't sure. 'Interesting place,' he'd think to himself before snapping back to the hunt. When it seemed as though no more lions were going to join it would begin, and it was over even before it really began; it would have been more than pathetic if they all weren't able to bring down the goat. Slinking his way toward it, hungry jaws would snap at its throat, ripping himself a chunk before finding his way out of the maze they were in.

he can practically taste her anxiety. it distracts him even as they hunt -- he wants to sweep her away from here, find a quiet alcove, press kisses to her throat until her heart slows. he wants to soothe the fears, the unease; all these secret desires that haunt him now.

"a small beast, bjorn; let it last. make this meal feed us all, no matter how small." a quiet prayer. "let us trap it, bjorn. quick claws, here." it is easy but still he whispers the blessings he has become so familiar with, begging for strength and speed and all the things they need.

it is hardly necessary, this time.

in the end there is barely enough to fight over but still he seeks his usual prize, sharpening his claws against the bones of the fallen, cracking a chest to fetch the heart from within.

disappearing as quickly as he had come, pausing from time to time to use the rocks to keep his weapons ready, enjoying the ungodly screech that comes from each scrape of claw.

"Oh, but aren't I?" He responded easily enough to his brother's words with a smirk, rolling his shoulders in preparation to...do absolutely nothing. Besides provide moral support, perhaps? He trails behind Markus's darker form in the shadows, stepping just lightly enough over the cool stone so as to not give his presence away. But in the end, even that proves to be largely unnecessary.

There is, in fact, no elephant in the room. Just one measly little goat, as his nose had suggested earlier. A goat forced to stand on its own against the many, many lions that materialized from the darkness of the tunnels. Rainer's usually of the opinion that there's no such thing as 'overkill,' but this spectacle even has him raising a brow.

Considering the ratio of stomachs to goat meat, it seems that most of them aren't destined to be lucky today after all. Rainer certainly doesn't feel like its worth the effort to fight over the scraps. The grey beast glances to his brother with a long sigh and a roll of his eyes. "Such a waste." Waste of effort and waste of time.

The Rike would follow his brother to the outside of the caverns, though he wouldn't stray much farther than that, soon finding a slab of stone perfect for basking in the afternoon sun. So his nap shall continue, this time in a much warmer place.

And if anyone dared to disturb him this time, he would bite their face off.
