Akisk looked up as she crooned to Eveisk, the Nadur saw she was glowing and was ready to Chase even if he didn't stand as much of a chance. The pair were Bonded that meant she'd give him favor but not guarantee a Win. So she ran out into the night it was still early so there were a few things waking up and that meant she was determined to have a Good Run.
Come Chase! I will Lead! Together make strong clutch! She called to all eligible males that could Chase her, she wanted everyone there she was after all amazing!
(I would love to run a Battle Wher Clutch, so I would prefer a mate capable of giving her babies wins but we'll see)
Feel free to use NPCs Feel free to bring in Female Chasers (they stand less of a chance of winning than say a male)
Chasers Ent Nadur Eveisk Iron Xiantun Black Star Sapphire Dredge
It wasn't just the bonded Whers who answered the call, as the steady thud of massive footsteps in the deep dark of the mountains echoed out. Speeding up like the dull roar of a landslide as a wild Black Star Sapphire approached from a cave DREDGE ANSWERS!. It would be hard to see for some in the dark but his distinctive 'star' mark was centered on the top of his broad boulder of a head. Joined with the criss cross scars of plenty of old battles all over his massive frame. From sides of his neck all the way down his torso to his heavy swinging tail his form is studded in hard and battle sharpened bony spikes that frame the outside edge of his tailfork in a flat mace configuration. But he didn't try to bully his way to the one who summoned them.
Clearly proving 'wild' didn't mean a rude boor of a Wher with no manners; or he didn't want the Run holder to tear him up; either way. Though he did prove his politeness by a much quieter mind rumble through the other chasers Good luck, no hard feelings if any of you win her favor. Even cracking his jaws open in a form of a grin as they got running again.
Then come prove your worth! She took off kicking up the rough sand under her paws, she was determined to get ahead of them and get around the first of the natural parkour areas were. First she launched over a rock and then slid down the fallen tree, she then glanced back to see if they'd trust there was a way down or not. It was up to them but she was going to be their "Queen" why shouldn't she expect their trust? She kept bounding ahead as she sent a croon back to encourage them.
Xiantun saved his words. He was busy following the pretty lady. Scent first, and then he was fairly certain he caught up to her heat signature only to have it disappear in front of him.
So he did the logical thing any hormonal male would do.
He dived over the edge of the embankment after her heat signature and scent like a male possessed, and something popped and cracked when he landed, but he didn't really care at this moment. Later he would, sure, when he was whining to his bondmate about his injuries, but now? Now he had a pretty lady to chase!
Adrenaline's a helluva drug. He was only marginally slower at the bottom of the ravine than he'd been at the top.
Dredge bellowed his amusement at the pretty queen's response before he followed. Maybe not as directly as the young blood did but definitely tried to catch up to the lady as he hooked his front claws into the trunk of the fallen tree she'd used and tore up the space between them in an effort to catch up. He hadn't heard the crunch from the other male but he also wasn't trying to get too close to him either. He didn't want to win by simply bowling the others over but by his own merit after all. Even if he was getting as hormonally wound up as the others while he chased the scent and heat signature of his goal.
This was a good sign they would be able to show that they were able to trust, this was the time she knew that her own build was to her advantage she saw a log and then took a leap and opened her wings to carry her over the ground a short way. It wasn't far but it was far enough that it was slightly more than a glide, she was trying to show off her own beauty in the light and also see how they'd handle something taller than themselves and getting over it. The log was a good nine feet tall and took the entire path as she landed on the other side she skid to a stop to stare at the pair, she was going to judge their looks or at least that would be what her Handler said.
Pretty lady wanted to fly, huh? Pretty lady would see him fly! Ow. Owowowowow...
Okay, bum shoulder meant Xiantun listed a little sideways when he spread his ore-colored wings and followed the leader, powering himself up and over and across the log.
He was only limping a little bit when he landed on the other side. And this he tried to hide. It wasn't important, no limp here!
He was absolutely NOT relieved when she stopped running and he had the opportunity to compose himself. Nope. No sir. Not relieved in the slightest.
Dredge like the other two spread his wings to get going over that barricade between himself and the lovely lady Wher. Though as soon as he got halfway down the side of the log where the other two were he didn't drop straight down. Bunching his legs and springing off it to land beside Xiantun as he rumbled in some concern but spoke privately you aren't hurt are you? heard you step funny on takeoff. Before he focused on the lady watching them What we doing now? more running? or something else?. He didn't sound impatient, despite hormones he was purely curious why she'd stopped so soon.
As she stood and assessed all they'd done and she trotted closer sniffing them before she looked over their looks and then gave a mischevious look to Xiantun. You both good. She wanted to make her choice obvious but for the moment she wanted them to think it over. Xiantun. You. She nudged him a bit and then took off on another short run. This time to make sure they made good babies.
CONGRATS! Xiantun! This one was actually very hard to decide so I had to use dice to fully determine it and it wa sthe final percentile that did it.
The Host and the Winner of the chase receive 10BP or 2SC for their effort (their choice) and all others receive 5BP or 1SC (their choice) for participating. I will be taking the BP Heron: 10 BP Kyariel: 5 BP
Not hurt bad, Xiantun told Dredge, oddly touched that his romantic rival cared for his well-being. That didn't mean Xiantun had the manners to stay put when he was chosen, though.
Coming! w00t! Great chase, everyone! I'll take BP.
Dredge rumbled after the pair good run you two, hope your babies hatch well. Before he slowly headed off into the night to hunt for some dinner now that he was good and awake after all that exercise.
