She moved forward with a grace- eyes trailing across the land, eager to explore the pride she found in front of her. Lips would dance along her cheeks to turn into a grin, mischief swirling in those greedy eyes of hers. She made the attempt to roll in herbs, a few petals even sticking to her pelt- her scent thrown off from the usual and instead smelling strong of chamomile, lavender- a weird mix but she didn’t mind it. She even kept a few of the herbs in her maw, all for part of her plan.

She then looks to walk along the borders, studying them, eyes dancing upon them as she so boldly moved her feet across them- oh she knew what she was doing. But she would act like she didn’t. Deceitful, manipulative- and happy to be so.

She aimed to go deeper into the lands. Nose picking up on the scent of food- their cache? She wasn’t sure how long she’d have till noticed… if any at all. But she would make a damn good effort to get there… because her stomach was rumbling and the vixen was ready to eat.

From his perch on high — the ridge that overlooks the Oasis — Seneca sees her. It is not her scent that will give the stranger away, but the sight of her. At first, his curiosity is idle, wondering who this newest summoner to his borders is and moving off in her direction before she's reached the edge of the pridelands. But the call never comes. Only silence echoes in his ears, and it unsettles the Miroslav, his pace picking up through the underbrush that lines his home.

Through a break in the trees, he sees her — well over the border line. His features morph into a silent snarl and he pushes off with great force, attempting to approach @Salacia from an angle off to her side and slightly behind her, hoping for the element of surprise. Seneca attempts to bulldoze his way into the patchwork female's right shoulder, trying to slam the bony ridge of his left shoulder against her whilst his jaws snake out with force, attempting to drive his teeth into the right side of her neck. Seneca is an act first, ask questions later kind of man — especially when his family is on the line.

She kept her eye on the border as she past it- surveying the length, the smell, the markings. One would think she would stop, obey it, the obvious warning signs- but she had a different vision to her mind. Looking to her pelt, Salacia rubbed her paws into the sand and let it flow on her forelimbs, coating her scent more; and the flowers she had stayed tucked behind her ear… for now at least.

It was a surprise she didn’t really hear him coming- but the sudden force at her side sent Salacia skidding sideways, fumbling over her paws with a startled cry. She barely reeled her head back enough to see her assailant to miss his jaws at her neck; and instead felt the kiss of their pain stinging to her skin with lacerations instead of a deathly grip. As much as she would enjoy fighting back - she knew she had to play her part.

All apart of the plan, she told herself.

Tucking her tail and masking her face with fear and terror, Salacia lets out another cry- paws anxiously attempting to flee her from the assault.

escape attempt 1

Rolling 1d10: 7

An intruder—Seneca already there, already in movement and rife with ferocity. Aidoneus thought nothing more, and instead steadily followed into action. Her strides were swift, as the woman staggered away, teetering and attempting an escape. Aidoneus swooped, choosing to intercept the attempt with an attack of her own. As if the stranger were a doe to be taken to the ground, she made pursuit. A steady loping pace to drive the attempt to trip the woman at her heels. The sovereign reached to snag the wretch’s heels—all she could think was that this was the one. This was the culprit. In the queens mind, this thief was here to steal more than an easy meal. This was the creature that had taken their children, that had been the monster that snatched from Andal it’s missing beloved. And as she went in her attempt to trip Salacia, Aidoneus attempted to clutch her hindquarters—to drag her down, to encumber enough to pin and to punish.

+20 Intercept a trespasser (Double XP)

There is a commotion on the borders -- Leander who has situated himself a little bit away from the remainder of the pride can sense the tension that is thick in the air. Clambering out of his den, the Miroslav sets off on his way to find out what might be the issue, trailing his brother's scent close to the pride perimeters. There, mismatched gaze spies three figures -- one unknown, his brother and a woman of the Oasis. As he looms closer, it becomes apparent that @Seneca and @Aidoneus are embroiled in fighting the stranger. And though Leander does not know why, he has a duty to support his brother and his family.

He picks up speed then, intense focus on the task at hand. As the unknown woman attempts escape, Leander, alongside @Aidoneus, seeks pursuit. He approaches from the right side of @Salacia, attempting to launch himself forward and aiming to wrap both forelimbs, claws unsheathed, about her right rear thigh. He hopes to bring her to ground so that she may face the consequences of her actions.

He collides with force, sending the interloper reeling away and scrabbling for her balance. Unfortunately for @Salacia, her panicked yelps and terrified expression do nothing to deter the Oasis sovereign; he is not a creature who often submits to mercy, and just now, he's like a dog with a bone. He continues his forward momentum in pursuit of the lioness, attempting to keep stride with her as she makes to flee — as if he would let it be so easy. The interception of @Aidoneus and @Leander is noted vaguely somewhere in the back of his mind, and Seneca attempts to bully into the trespasser again, seeking to roughly jostle his shoulder against hers, and his teeth yet again snapping to try and sink into the woman's scruff.

Alma wasn't far when the commotion had brought her attention. She was just finishing checking the opposite border when all started. Hackles rose and lips curled in annoyance for whoever was the idiot who trespassed. By the time she arrived, three lion were already munching on the intruder. @Aidoneous the lioness who accepted her, the king(@Seneca) and an unknown male (@Leander). Well she did want to hope in but she didn't see it needed with the three of them already on the process of punishing their foe. So she is head would stabd there and watch, but ready to act upon word. She stared at the trespasser with coldness but hoping the lesson she was getting right now would teach her to check her nose better next time.

If she wasn't having a hard enough time getting away from the first brute- she sure wasn't going to have it easy getting away from three individuals. Her flee was cut short, tripped by the lioness and Salacia stumbled and fell to her chest. She was quick, though, tucking her limbs under her in order to flee again. She felt her hindquarter get slashed; blood flowing and she jolted forward from the pain. Ah- but the attack of another faces in and she feels herself being weighed down from the back. Her plan was backfiring- she didn't expect the whole pride to come at her! Was she a gazelle now? Prey?

A grunt, unable to make anymore noises in focus of getting away- digging her front paws into the ground to try and lurch forward, body attempting to twist and kick where she could. She felt fangs prick at her scruff- and if she wasn't moving so much he probably would of got a hold. But she wasn't pinned, no... not yet at least.

escape attempt 2 ((did my best to address each attack but brain got fuzzy with it LOL))

Rolling 1d10: 1

There—in the wings, lurching past her peripherals came @Leander’s figure. As Salacia slipped and stumbled, ever pushing forward, he throttled into the fray. So not to collide into the woman in a tangled heap, Aidoneus adjusted her strides, her speed. Cautioned steps to allow their quarry to gain space. This to allow better balance, better center of gravity, better opportunity for Leander to take better charge of pinning the intruder’s back legs. It also gave her opportunity to swiftly rise up to the open side opposite of @Seneca. As he went for her scruff, Aideonus’ teeth reaching to gran and gnash @Salacia’s foreleg, all the while trying to stay free of the flailing kicks.

Success.

The intruder stumbles and falls onto her underside, leaving herself vulnerable to the trio who had nothing but blood on their minds. They move like a ravenous pack, doing their best to now allow the stranger any reprieve from their offence. Leander for his part, pays no mind to the movement of the other's -- thankfully, @Aidoneus was doing plenty of that for the three of them.

Claws successfully slice through flesh and the metallic tang of blood hangs in the air, adding extra motivation to his efforts as he seeks to make his next impact -- hoping to pin the woman to the ground, flailing legs and all. As @Salacia attempts to lurch forward to avoid capture, the Miroslav attempts to smother her hind end with the brunt of his large weight -- aiming to lie square on top of her back, opened jowls attempting to grab hold of the middle of her back, square on her spine. Simultaneously, he attempts to secure his hold on either side of the woman's haunches with his forelimbs and unsheathed claws.

Every once in a while, a kick from the lioness' hind limbs hits him square in the chest, her toes perhaps drawing some blood beneath the mass of chest hair adorning his breast. The kicks that make direct impact will no doubt bruise in the morning but Leander has his sights on securing the feline -- driven by the energy of both @Seneca and Aidoneus.
