Just A Larl
is within the territory controlled by Tuchuk
says to All: For several rising and settings of the Tri Moons the larl pride had feasted upon the three bosk that were taken from the Tuchuk. Rested and re energized the pride moved through the territory, never really staying in one place to long, just long enough to eat their fill of the bosk. Each carcasses bones had been striped clean of any remaining meat from the Jards. Four Larls traveled in this pride....A male standing some seven feet from the shoulder....a female larl just a bit smaller standing a bit over 6 feet from her shoulder....two young larls not as tall as the female yet formidable advisories. Each of them had a set of oversized canines....almost a foot in length that were razor sharp, retractable claws that could shred in an instance. The perpetual movements of their heads, the four slitted nostrils that gave more air flow into the eight chamber heart that could send a burst of energy to the tissues when was needed....long tufted tails that swayed back and forth, tawny coats that glistened in the sun ......screams between them to tell each other their location......The male was leading them and the others to the left and right not were but a few pasangs off......

says to All: They had been traveling for sometime so that they were close to the border that outlined the Tuchuks hold over the area. The four larls moved along through the tall grasses their slitted eyes cutting through the dense foilage. Shadows of grasses ran across their tawny coats casting shades of darker colored hues, making it almost impossible for one on the ground to distinguish the larls from the seas of tawny grasses that grew tall here.

is moving through the tall grass
says to All: Small native birds that nested and lived within the tall grasses of the southern wilds would lift and fly when one of the larls had passed close by. Their chirps and beat of wings heard but the larls paid little heed. The snarls and screams that eminated continued as they cut their way through the tall grasses.

says to All: Here within the wilds of the tall grasses only from above could one really capture and apperciate the nature and grace of the entire pride. Winds blew over the tall grasses almost making it look as though it were indeed a sea of tawny waters. From above one could also see the backs, apperciate the size each of the larls. Some time had come and gone as the larl pride wove it's way through the grasses, the male indeed seemed to have a direction in which the pride would follow him.

says to All: Their hunting grounds and movements could be looked upon as the shortest routes along the borders of lands that each were controlled by the four tribes of the plains, The Tuchuk, The Paravaci, The Kataii, and The Kassar. They had tasted the meat and blood of the bosk which drove them to hunt these furtile grounds.

says to All: The large male was the first of the pride to set a great paw onto the lands that were controlled by the Kassar. Soon followed his mate, to his left, then to the right a few pasanges back came the cubs....a male and a female. There was a different scream that was heard then as they drew deeper into Kassar territory, it had left the great vocals of the male. The three Larls returned in a lower octave answer the cry of the male. Drawing down deeper as nostrils flared taking in the scents that emanated here.

says to All: Long before the single outrider had come into the line of vision of the pride, the scents of the man thing and the Kaiila that it rode had been taken in. Lowering down upon their bellies, the great heads of the beasts stilled...a low snarl was heard off to one side....another answered, again and again. Somewhere in the tall grasses the large male and the largest of the females lifted and circled the outrider. Surrounding the outrider in the Larl prides net.

says to All: The Kassar outrider unaware at the ihn that a trap was being set. He sat upon the back of the Kaiila, no sleens accompanied him. He had stopped his mount when the Kaiila grew nervous, the acute sense of the Kaiila picking up far sooner then it's rider. But it was to late....the grasses seemed to move from undercurrents of air. Startled the young outrider drew up and back looking over his shoulder, jerking back around as to capture the movement as it encircled him and his mount.

says to All: The great roar of the male shattered the silence first....startling the Kaiila and the young outrider. His knuckles white from the drawing of his fingers closer around his lance. Then another roar to match her mates, then another and yet another and in that instance as if time itself stood still the four great Larls lept through the tall grasses breaking through it as if all at once. Each had rose up onto it's back quarters, the massive chests exposed as their front legs were stretched out, the front paws curling in just a little as those razor sharp claws had been exposed.

says to All: It was over that quickly the young Larl female had clamped down upon the neck of the Kaiila. Spouts of blood shooting outwards as her great canines shredded the screaming Kaiila's throat. The great male knocking the rider off the back....and in one magnificent sweep of its paw shattered the skull of the young Kassar outrider, shredding the skin that covered his face, killing him in an ihn. The young male was already making short work of the Kaiila riping and shredding the hind quarters. The female upon it's side now as it laid upon the soft blood soaked earth.

says to All: It was some time before the feast of the Larl pride had ended. Their bellies full from recent kills of bosk, Kaiila, and now man things. The larls would leave behind their telltale signs of their most recent kill.....scratch marks along the soft leathered Kaiila saddle, the shattered remains of a Kassar lance, their great foot prints chaotically placed around the scene of the kill itself and even though the Jards would come and feast upon the remainder it would be evident on what had happened here this day....The pride disappeared back into the tall grasses, finding a temporary lair to digest but soon very soon their hunting grounds would expand......(l/p)

=On the Plains, outside of the wagon circle=
ALL: The pride of larls had been on the move....leaving the spot where the lone outrider had been taken. Their great body's moved through the tall grasses along the plains....crotchening low. The female was somewhat smaller then the male a mere 6 ft from the shoulder.....The male standing near 7 ft....The cubs now almost as large as their mother.....all fours head moved in that perpetual motion, all four had over sized canines that were razor sharp and protruded almost a foot.....the muscles under the tawny skin rippled with their stealth movements. They soon cut toward the herd of Bosk.

=On the Plains, outside of the wagon circle=
ALL: Their screams heard as the male fell back....The two younger Larls, and the female moved forward.....shadowing the Bosk some few pasangs away from the main herd.... Heads down, muscles drawing taut.....Together they had been hunting for many turns of the Tri moons over Gor.....The screams told each of them where the other was located.....A drop or rise an octave seemed to be their form of communication.....A lift of great paws to gently settle back down.....

=On the Plains, outside of the wagon circle=
ALL: They would have to get closer to the Bosk to set the herd running and cut out the ones that had been chosen.....the largest of the two females lowered herself to her belly.....shortely behind her....her cubs did the same..... Acute senses alerted as slit eyes cut through the dense foilage.....The grasses moved gently in the breeze.... The entire pride had circled around previously so they were down wind of the beasts....

=On the Plains, outside of the wagon circle=
ALL: Not even three days had passes since the disappearance of the outrider.....Yet instincts over took them as outriders passed close by them.... No leap out from the tall grasses came..... their entire concentration was upon the bosk herd.... over sized canines dripped with saliva, silent screams unheard as great maws opened and heads tilted, snarling low....her head moved with each passing bosk weeding out in her mind the weakest.
(08/10/08 - 11:33:20)

=On the Plains, outside of the wagon circle=
ALL: A lift up somewhat of her front quarters, dropping them as her hind quarters came up and she stretched out and crawled on her belly like that bringing her closer to the edges of the tall grass.... her mates screams heard off in the distance.....the two cubs behind her both to the right.....The targets chosen....A cow and her calf....A yearling bull probably hers from the turn afore lingered and separate from the herd a few pasangs....Acutely aware of the presence and location of the outriders...she waited and watched until the time was just perfect....

=On the Plains, outside of the wagon circle=
ALL: The outriders circling the herd stopped and were speaking.... the herd of bosk separating the position of the Larls and the outriders.....She rose up.....a great roar heard as she shot from her spot out from the tall grasses sending the bosk in a forward motion.....Her cubs shortly behind her.....a low scream heard and the two cubs were fast on her heels.....she cut the cow, calf, and bull from the herd.....sweeping a great paw toward the cow as her cubs herded the young bull.....the calf following it's mother.... running them toward the silence in the tall grasses where her mate waited....

=On the Plains, outside of the wagon circle=
ALL: The outriders hearing the cries of the Larls started to cut through the chaotic mass movement of the bosk..... It was impossible for them to ride directly into the bosk herd itself their Kaiila's would be trampled and the riders as well.....thunderous hooves, clouds of dust rose up from the main bosk herd.....The cow leading the way as the three Larls moved with great speed.....A low thud heard as the cow was taken down....the bull got wind and cut back toward her....she lept up in one fluid motion sinking her over sized canines into the young bulls throat shredding the skin and flesh.....severing in an instant the windpipe....the calf was killed with one sweep of one of the cubs great paws....and as quickly as they had appeared....they disappeared dragging the dead bosk off with them....

is within the territory controlled by Kassar
says to All: It was her mate that had indicated the prides movements and they moved now once again through the tall grasses along the borders of the two leggeds territory.....that of the Kassar. The large male taking the point, his mate her smaller in size some six feet upon her shoulder, over sized canines glistened when ever the sun captured them.....tawny skin of their coats, the blades of the tall grasses casting shadows against. They lazily moved along, well fed....taking short breaks to lay upon the soft earth....the cool breezes blowing across the sea of grasses gave them reprieve from the heat of the day. Two younger larls almost full grown now traveled with them and made up the remainder of the pride.

says to All: Soft tufted ends of tails drew to and fro, the movements of their heads....they would scream once in a while to give way to their locations to the others amongst the tribe.... and it wasn't until a few days and some many pasangs that the pride of Larls moved from the Kassar Territory and into the Territories that were controlled by the Paravaci....

is within the territory controlled by Paravaci
says to All: In the midst of their travels they had met with outriders, perhaps they came in short distances from travelers that made their way along the routes between the borders of the four tribes....but whatever the case their bellies were full and lessened because of the recent kills. Hunger drove them forward that day that gnawing instinct to continually move and to seek out more of the bosk. An easy kill at times little mistakes were made by the pride....they had truly become methodical in their hunts letting nothing stand in the way of them and their would be meals.

says to All: The large male pressed the pride further onward....allowing short lapses as the used less energy and knowing by instinct that the energy that remained would be used for the hunt that was surely to occur. Their hunting grounds now to include the Paravaci but to the larls one two legged smelled the same as another and not their preferred prey of choice. Yet they had tasted the blood of the Tuchuk and would do so again if it meant for substance....Some time had come and gone and the Larl pride was now on a direct path that would lead the deeper and closer into the Paravaci Camps that were located here.
