The moment that the hunt began, Daneri was sprinting forward at the highest speed that she could manage in a swamp. If anything, it was helping her to learn how to maneuvered while the ground tried to trap you. It made her have to think lighter on her toes and with it, she pictured herself being light as a feather. Gathering every bit of strength she had and barreling forward after one of the two rhinoceros'. Letting her long legs do most of the work for her, but inside it was her lungs that were doing it all. They were the ones that were keeping her up but as soon as both of the rhinos had fallen, she was thankful that she had been able to keep up with any of it. Catching her breath, she greedily took a piece of the flesh and left the bigger pieces to the others. Hopefully someone had enough energy to fight for it. exit daneri

Two hulking creatures lumber along the bog, and their sheer girth gives him pause. But lions begin to pour from their covers en masse, and he has no choice but to follow. Just barely able to avoid a flailing horn, he launches himself at one of the beast's shoulders, trying to impede movement there.

He doesn't know how much time has gone by when the hunt finally concludes, but judging by the lengthening shadows of the trees, he has already spent too much time here. He has his fill, and then he whets his claws against a tree in an attempt to keep them honed for next time. Without another look at the hunting party, he takes off, forcing his frazzled body to resume its exercise.

Her eyes watch her surroundings as she sniffs the air again, trying to pinpoint whether or not she were downwind from the prey. That was something that was important, right? As she sniffs again, brush moves and the ground softly quakes and soon the two rhinos are in their line of sight. She lets out a gasp - just like the one when she'd helped take down a calf - and began to wonder if these were the poor parents of that one. She couldn't let her mind dwell on that for the hunt was beginning, so instead she helped keep one of the rhinos from escaping. As they were both taken down, giving them all a plentiful reward, Jiera takes a generous piece for herself before slipping back to her herb collecting. She works on collecting more nibima for a little while longer, and once the pile she had was good enough she would then indulge in her riches.

The brackish swamp water had washed some of the mud off on her legs as she walked, so she was diligent in applying more when she noticed too much of her fur exposed on her limbs, wanting to ensure that no trace of her scent leaked through. She continued to study the landscape as she moved along, trailing the hunters at a distance, keeping her body low and out of sight. Even when she wasn’t in the water, the ground was slippery with mud and moss, with no easy way to navigate it. It was a great place to stay hidden, but beyond that, the landscape offered her nothing she would want, and she hoped she never had a reason to return to the swamps. Once the hunt was done, she was glad to turn back and begin to make her way home, continuing to slick herself in mud and note the landscape around her as she went. -exit- +10 Remain undetected in a large thread (5+ characters) +5 Study the landscape of an area +5 Practice hiding your scent

The plants that grew in The Swamp were much alike The Bog. The squelchy muddy terrain hosting Water Hyacinth and other water-loving plants such as Lillies and African Water Fern. Still, in preparation for the hunt Aphid is not able to harvest them, and instead makes a point to return again later.

The hunt that followed was a dangerous one; the large group taking advantage of two weakened Rhino's who had been partially trapped by the muddy terrain. The hunt leader led the party well however, and the group were able to fell the beasts without any major injuries or - god forbid, death.

This was the first time that she'd ever witnessed such an event. There were so many individuals that answered @Kassandra's call to hunt, and she'd be lying if she said she wasn't a little bit intimidated at first. But as it turns out, they would definitely be needing the extra bodies. Their prey was a rhinoceros and Eris swallowed the lump that rose in her throat but instead of backing down she swallowed her fear and surged forward. Using her speed to her advantage she took on the chase, hoping to herd the rhinoceros in the direction of the much larger and stronger individuals. They made swift work of the creature and when it falls Eris cannot help but grin, proud that she had even participated in such a feat! "Thank you for including me in zis hunt." She says quietly before turning heel to head back to the Mire, still riding off the adrenaline from the event.

When the hunters moved off, Setri found herself far more interested in the tree she had found. The roots grew out of the earth, tangling with those of the trees around it, but the one she had found was noticeably thicker than the others. Likely, it was the oldest in this part of the swamp, or at least close to it. It helped her to stay out of the mud at least for a little while, but her climbing and exploring had caused much of her disguise to fall off. When she was done exploring the tree, she hopped off of the roots, splashing into a pile of mud, and allowing it to coat her fur once more, even rolling in it to make sure she smelled only like the earth around her. After that, she began to make her way home, the little mud monster leaving no scent trail behind to be followed as she continued to explore and scout the area on her way out.

Suddenly, Kvare were thankful that the thick mud of the swamp had well-prepared him for this type of prey. It took a considerable amount of strength and endurance in order to not only keep up with the rhinoceros, but to also throw himself at it, to dig his claws into its thick hide. By the time the beast tumbled into the soggy earth, Kvare was keening, lips parted in a hefty pant, eyes flung wide and wild with anticipation. And, finally, it took its final breaths; and Kvare was eager to find a few morsels for himself, so that he may bring his prize back to the Cove. A trek he was not looking forward to, given the burning in his lungs and muscles, but one he would endure regardless.

Two rhinoceros; now there's a challenge more her speed— or, size, she should say. She doesn't hasten to join in; with so many gathered here, she can afford to observe the others' hunting styles for a little while. Finally, spotting an opening, she strikes, and it isn't long until either beast is felled. Having had her fill, she rises off her haunches and retraces her steps back whence she's come, gathering the various gnetum plants she'd sighted on the way here as she goes.

By ancient wisdom and nature's grace, may your aim be true and your quarry embrace its fate.

She clutched the blessing close to her heart as they took up their gruesome work. Hekate helped swarm the two injured rhinos, her gaze narrowed intently and her tail lashing about wildly behind her. Iron dripped from her ivory muzzle when she finally came up for breath, relieved to finally be able to eat her fill on one of these occasions rather than scrambling for scraps of what she had helped bring down. The adolescent lapped greedily until the time seemed right, moving to go and retrieve the herbs she had gathered and bring her spoils back to the mire.
