Allure roamed the jungle, eyes peeling for useful herbs. There was plenty of plant life here, even in the swamp, and it made finding the right ones that much trickier. Gnetum was common for the area, but it took her some time to spot the vine with its little berries. The leaves and stem were the useful parts, thankfully, as those were far easier to transport. The vine was quite large, it leaves not yet beginning to wilt in the cold but it would only be a matter of time. She carefully bit off a segment of the plant and carried it to a good spot near the other lions, setting it aside to be gathered later once the hunt was done.

A terrain with a little bit more debris in his way would bring a good challenge to the colossal. Sabre had found a trail to jog along, pushing himself until he felt that familiar sting in his muscles. Eyes watched the ground as he moved, making sure he didn't trip over anything as well as having to duck here and there. The muck and mire of the swamp was not something he enjoyed, but it brought with it a but more difficulty in working out than dry, flat land. As he continues to jog, his eyes catch sight of movement, and with a raised brow and curious sense of self, Sabre decides to investigate.

He comes across a group of lions and he can only assume they were all here to hunt together. Sniffing the air seemed to solidify that, plucking out the scent of prey among the masses. He readies himself to participate, watching and waiting for the cue.

She was out again selecting the best looking herbs to bring back to her den. Jiera sniffs at the nibima curiously, ensuring it smelled ripe and not rotting before she worked on plucking some for herself. She would gingerly, grabbing at the base of the plant before biting, separating it from the ground. She places it next to her when the scent of prey hits her nose, causing for her stomach to growl with a mind of its own. A good meal sounded like a good idea, and so she follows the prey scent, leading her toward a growing hunting party. The medic decides to hang out in the back, knowing she would be of better use in helping keep their prey from escaping than anything else.

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

A hulking creature is seen plunging ponderously through the swamp, seemingly perfectly at home within its rank confines. The beast's girth is intimidating, to say the least, but hunger drives him forward. Claws extract from their sheaths in a vain attempt to keep him from slipping and sliding his way across the swamp, and he quickly closes the distance between himself and the gigantic animal.

He tries to say on its rear, far away from its razor-edged horn, and after a lengthy battle, the creature lies slain in the swamp. He has his fill and returns to his stash, scooping his prize out of the tree hollow and continuing to seperate the seeds from the branch. Once satisfied, he gathers the seeds up in his mouth and saunters off back along the fetid marsh, eager to leave the decaying place behind.

Of course this godsforsaken sludge hole would have rhino. Nothing would be easy in this place, Lune thought with a quiet grumble and furrowed brow. She had not planned on needed to exert the sheer amount of effort necessary to take on a rhino. Thankfully, their hunting party was of amble size - that would help a little bit. Gritting her teeth, Lune's eyes flickered around to the rest of the hunting part. They would need to be smart, coordinated, and determined to take down this creature. She moved in tandem with her party, playing the role of a good teammate. She leapt when she needed to, digging her claws into the sides of the rhino trying to tear at flesh where she could.

After a rough fight, Lune felt well spent as they brought down the rhino. She wasted no time to take her portion and down it. The girl could already feel the warm meat revive her. Now, it was time to get back to her herbs. Giving one final victorious glance at the felled beast, Lune spun around back in the direction she came. Back to her herbs.

The opponent, the prey, of today's hunt was a hardy beast. Dangerous but no as dangerous as a hippo, the rhino possessed thick skin and it took the hunting party a while until they could topple the beast. Still, she relished in the difficulty of it all, and that made the victory much sweeter and the consequential meal much juicier.

Once regaining her strength, she returned to her boulders. She moved them one by one, working rigorously as she strengthened her muscles. She was young, and yet her shape was already strong & athletic thanks to that.

After an hour of so of that, she sharpened her claws on a tree bark. They were honed to perfection, returning their dagger-like deadliness.

Aurelia

still the curled fists gripping the yes of the world, the cadence of tragedy, the yes of night shepherding shadows closer to home. Yes, the moon, the bright unending.

The swamp had proven a challenging foe, and Aurelia had barely managed to keep up with the group. Eventually, the harrowing realization that perhaps she were not meant for this hunt settled in, and she had instead found a quiet place on the outskirts, where she could watch from afar, learn, and pray over their safety. Perhaps it were better for her to have waited on the sidelines, she soon realized, for their prey of choice had been the thick-skinned rhinoceros. And thankfully, mercifully, her prayers had paid off; they felled the beast in one fell swoop, and Aurelia turned to head back toward the Lagoon empty-handed, but thankful regardless. Clearly, her prayers had done something, and with that renewed sense of self she committed more of her faith to continuing their continued luck, blessing them quietly in private.

IANTHE

The swamp's terrain was similar to Ecrosia - a swamps a swamps a swamp - but still unfamiliar enough that she wasn't able to navigate it as intuitively.
Still, she'd done her best, trying to help the group take down two (2!) thinos in the murky waters.
Her bag of birthing herbs she'd ended up leaving on a low, hanging tree branch, the rawhide only just grazing the surface of the swamp. Ianthe finishes eating her share of the kill before going back to retrieve it.
"Come on," she says, looking over her shoulder at Hekate. "Let's go back to our own swamp."

She studies those before her and the landscape they are upon, licking at her lips as she keeps herself tucked out of sight and hidden among the large, growing crowd. Seifri witnesses them take down a Rhino on the expanse, eyes noting certain features and tactics; ears pinned back to her head. A brief flick of her eyes, checking on her scent covers and the mud mask upon her limbs - going as far as to wet it with her tongue to keep the mud fresh and her scent hidden. A glance back, then, shows the crowd dispersing. Shrugging, she guesses it is her time to leave too. /exit
