OK - I've gotten us on our way to encountering what's attacking the camp.

She's a large, determined predator . . . let's start the battle against her . . . but please, no one kill her off all in one post.

Give Envinyatar another chance to write for her.

There is a chance that there will be injuries to at least one of the horses and possibly to the characters. If you are willing to have your horse or characters hurt in some way - please go ahead and write that at some point in one of the battle posts.

Arry & Envin

Just to let you know I added the Wulfham banner to your posts.

Arry,
Should I let the 'battle' scene with the cougar finish before I post again? I would not want to 'disrupt' the pace of the other part of the story.

I could get a post up tonight, or tomorrow as well.

I'm making this post at 10:11 pm Please let me know what time it says that I posted on this box in your time. Then We will all know what times we will be posting because it seems to me that most of you post when I am sleeping.

So . . . while you are bickering, mama has circled round and driven off one of the horses

-- yours, in fact, Arry.

In the meantime, mama's little boy (actually a nearly full grown male - he's one year old and weighs about 120 lbs himself) is planning on taking out Incana. Cougars normally stalk their prey until they are very close to them and then make a very quick dash and a high leap for the throat or back of the neck.

Go ahead and post for Bregoware.

Naria

Do you want to take a first blow at the male cougar who's got his eye on you?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Envin

Poor Lady! Well, let me see what I can do with that situation.

Your post time shows at 8:11 p.m. here in the Pacific US time zone. I generally post very late at night here - I'm a hopeless night-owl.

Arry,
I guess that explains you being around when I PM'd you at 3 AM... I'm a bit of an 'evening person' myself... or rather, a vampire

Valier,
Guess what time it appears to me? Go prairies!!!

Hunting party from Bregoware
Should I take us back? Raewald is already on camp and it's not fair that the other guys are getting all the fun with the big kitten while we chit-chat and hunt wabbits. No, I don't mean Valier as the big kitten, I mean the cougar.

Anyway, try to get me a reply, I'll probably post tomorrow morning (around 10 AM Central Time, GMT-6)
