Choosing 7 - Event! Your handler notices what looks to be a berdir track, heading deep into the woods ... Submit a claim to follow the path!
Deidra's excitement to be on her first expedition into the wilds of Ynnis was barely contained. When she heard about the Llynmere Lake Expedition trip she had signed up immediately and spent every minute up until departure fretting over supplies, repacking her bag, and desperately begging Arribal to behave. To no avail as it would turn out. Arri snapped a wayward flap of the tent and ripped it before Dee could even hammer the second peg in to hold it down. Flustered, she scolded the hound. Arri boofed excitedly did a couple of zoomies, then tore off into the trees. When Dee gave chase, she suddenly noticed some strange tracks that were definitely not Arri's?

Choosing: 10 -- Event! -- A berdir breaks across your path!
Arribal wove her way through the underbrush, unbothered by the closeness of the forest. Dee lost sight of her while investigating the strange tracks. Arri stopped here and there to snoof at bushes and trees excitedly before rushing off in random directions. Following the sounds of brush snapping and loud panting, Dee managed to spot the waving puff tail of the excited hound among some bushes. Suddenly a large blur crashed out of the thicket where Arri was sniffing, nearly trampling the hound as it bolted. Dee leaped aside as Arri gave chase to some sort of deer creature, howling her fool head off.

(this will be roll 3 of 7)
Deidra had no time to recover from nearly being trampled, she could hear the animals crashing about in the brush. Arri was growling and there was a thud of hooves. She was terrified for the hound who had never faced something so large before. They had barely passed the basic hunt training before coming on the expedition!
Arribal cornered the prey creature; she knew it was a prey creature because it RAN FROM HER and it smelled like food and fear. That's all that mattered as far as her hound instincts were concerned. It was quite large, but she did not hesitate to attack the thing, leveraging all her might to topple it to the forest floor.
By the time Deidra forced her way through the dense bushes, Arri was already standing triumphantly over the motionless berdir panting a toothy hound grin.

The hound wagged her tufted tail and eagerly ran up to Deidra, then back to the kill proudly showing off for her person. "What the actual f...." Deidra came over and knelt by the berdir, verified it was very dead, then looked at the hound who seemed unscathed and happy as could be. "Uh... good job??" She patted and scratched Arri, still somewhat in shock over how sudden the events had transpired. Arribal seemed to have spent her crazy energy and was content to stay by her handler while Deidra gutted the animal and prepared it to lug the large body back to camp. Good thing she always carried her knife on her belt.

After doing the messy gross parts, with Arribal inspecting and ...sampling her prize, Deidra had the animal dressed out and ready to carry back. But she was a mess. Standing and stretching the cricks from her back, she paused, thinking. Hadn't she heard water during the mad dash into the woods? "I think there's some water around here hound..." she commented. They got moving, Arri leading the way but staying close this time. As if she had understood her handler, she sniffed and snoofed and brought the pair to a tiny bubbling creek. Dee sat down to take a breather and freshen up while the hound lapped greedily at the clear water.

After relaxing for some time by the little creek, both handler and hound were feeling refreshed and ready to get back to camp. It had turned out to be a long day! Deidra took the lead, dragging the large berdir carcass. It managed to get tangled in just about every branch and vine along the way and before long she realized she had no idea where they were going. "Do you know where camp is...?" She asked the hound hopefully, but Arribal just sat back on her haunches and stared up at her happily not a thought in her brain. Except maybe for a berdir steak dinner. After a long while of searching and backtracking, Deidra managed to find a trail, no thanks to Arri. It looked familiar and she thought it would lead back to the expedition camp if they followed it.

Something shiny up ahead caught the setting sun, and Deidra went to see what it was. A metal object was dangling like a decoration from a bramble vine. It was a berdir tag! She couldn't help but laugh, as they had just caught quite a nice specimen. But it would come in handy. It must have gotten snagged off someone's pack or something, but it was finders keepers out in the wilderness right? "Apparently hunting is our thing now!" She told Arribal, letting the hound sniff the tag. She wagged her puff tail eagerly and Deidra pocketed the tag for later use.
