*Sheep*

A small group of Mountain Sheep feed on the scarce vegetation around the mountain.

Firewalker

Firewalker stalks low, looking to pick off any weak or injured sheep. He watches the herd carefully.

*Mountain Sheep*

Three of the kids begin to chase each other around and butt heads. Another female goat lies down to rest, and the others continue grazing. One male goat appears to have an injury on one of his hind legs... but he is standing still, and it can't be told yet if he is impaired in walking or jumping...

They are all on fairly level ground, but loose rocks and slick patches of ice will make it more difficult to catch them...

Firewalker

He stalks closer, careful to keep downwind of the sheep. He watches the kids. They would make a good meal, but would be harder to catch. But one had lay down. And another was injured. He decided to try his luck on the injured one. He leaps out suddenly, careful to keep his footing, and attacks the injured one.

*Mountain Sheep*

A much larger male gives an alarm to the rest of the herd, and they emidiately whirl around and run the other way from you. The male that was injured runs with them, able to keep up and you for the moment. But the leader of the herd suddenly veers off, going up a steep ridge of jagged rocks... too steep for any wolf to climb. But it is also too steep for the injured male to climb, and he looses his footing and crashes down the ridge, landing a few yards from you. Having hit his head when he was falling, the sheep is disoriented, and runs straight at you! His curled horns are hard enough to knock you senseless if he collides with you...

The other sheep have made it far up the steep ridge now.

Firewalker

The male skids around, running away from the sheep, and jumping from lower rock to lower rock, in an attempt to lose him. He would have to think of a new plan.

*Mountain Sheep*

He stumbles over over the rocks many times, but is able to catch himself; but it makes him slower, and you keep out of his reach. His injured leg suddenly buckles, and the creature crashes to the ground, plowing into smaller rocks. He skids over a patch of slick snow where he finally picks up your scent and begins to panic... he struggle to get up, but his leg is injured worse, and he has accumilated many wounds from his fall... the sheep should be easy prey now...

Firewalker

He turns around, before stalking closer, watching the sheep struggle. Now it would be easier prey. He makes a leap at its neck, snapping at it, trying to grab hold of anything he could.

*Mountain Sheep*

Seeing it can't get away, the sheep makes a wild kick toward you as you leap, but narrowly misses. Your aiming is good, and your fangs are able to drive deep into the creature's neck. Its great jugular vein is severed, and the sheep dies soon after. All the while, it kicked frantically, but never harmed you.

Firewalker

The male stops, before grabbing the sheep, and dragging it back to his packlands. For he assumed that some of them might be hungry.
