The moose whipped free of Ida's incoming charge, rounding and heaving its antlers upwards to hook beneath her torso and sent her flying backwards. The brute instinctually tensed, the familiar callousness she'd channeled earlier hardening her flesh and thankfully preventing the great creature's horns from skewering her. While its antlers didn't break skin, Ida landed heavily in the snow with a sharp exhale and bit back a wince at the sensation of bruises already beginning to pulse beneath her fur, stumbling back to her paws and letting the adrenaline of battle overpower the fresh aching of her muscles as her callous flesh faded.
The moose rounded towards her again in preparation for a second charge, but Maureen skidded behind it with a spray of snow and a battlecry of her own, sinking her jaws into the creature's hid leg and tearing at its flesh. Surprise flashed across Ida's beady eyes at the sight of the girl's sudden tenacity, followed by a booming, proud laugh as she widened her legs to a defensive crouch and raised the elytra on her back. The moose screamed at her sudden attack, the whites of its eyes bloodshot as it whipped its head around and affixed the other wolf with its hateful gaze. The girl's first hunt, and she was already in the fray of it!
"That's it! Hang on tight tuh it!" she cheered, tattered hindwings unfurling as her elytra fully raised. The great dog took a deep breath, a harsh grin twisting her blocky muzzle as she set her sights back on the moose, who shook its legs and kicked out wildly in an attempt to dislodge the smaller wolf. If she could keep it unbalanced and Maureen stayed clamped, they could drag it down.
A downed moose was a dead moose.
Ida's wings began to beat, a harsh buzzing splitting the screams and crunching snow as they turned into a blur across her backside. The ice around her churned and sprayed outwards, her blunt claws digging heavy into the soil as the earth beneath her buckled. The ground itself began to quake beneath the moose's hooves, and as the beast was hopefully disoriented, Ida leaped again with outstretched mandibles aimed to lock around its thick neck.
IDA HP: 8
DICE ROLL: Strength
Success: Ida's vibration spell is successful, and the ground beneath the moose begins to collapse and sink back into the shallow ravine, twisting another one of its legs for -1 hp and unbalancing it. (Maureen can make a dex check to see if she gets unbalanced by the earthquake as well, but it's up to you!)
Fail: The ground shakes, but its a weak tremor and Ida loses focus quickly.
DICE ROLL: Dexterity
Success: Ida leaps forwards and manages to hook her mandibles around the moose's neck, squeezing and using her own body weight to drag it downwards for -1 hp.
Fail: The moose rears upwards and strikes out with its front hooves, battering Ida for -1 hp.
MYSTERIOUS MOOSE:
HP: 4
Dexterity: 2
Stealth: 5
Strength: 4
