Domar tries to supress a laugh at Hunn's scowl.

"Until you're able to outrun a deer and swing that axe fast enough to hit it before it leaps out of the way, you'll need that bow."

Well. This can't be good. Ylva jumps just slightly when tapped, not from the tap itself but rather from turning and seeing the Jarl's daughter as the person who tapped her, and after that she does a quick look-around, as if to wonder if somehow Astrid had the wrong girl. None of that is anything that she's actually thinking, it's just all reflexive... and after being motioned to follow after, well, Ylva figures it's either go along or find a new island, and being as the later would be difficult at this time of night, she just goes ahead and follows... shrugging and rolling her shoulders to try and relieve the sudden tension in them.

Astrid addresses her companions. "Thank you all for following me, I'm a little nervous." She laughs a little and takes her bow and arrows, getting on a horse.

Domar takes his own bow and arrows and gets on his own horse.

"Nervous? On a day like today? This is a hunt! Enjoy it, it's fun!" he says as he wheels his horse around and leads the group to join the rest of the hunting party. In the first light of dawn, fifty horsemen leave Rohald, our heroes among them.

Astrid laughs and follows, trying to get out ahead. She's the leader here, after all.

HUNN VERMUNDSSON spurs his horse after Astrid, wondering if he'd be able to hit anything. He was terrible with a bow, and had little experience hunting, due to his vows.

Domar keeps his horse at pace with the others, humming and muttering to himself as they go. You all know that he's practicing his memorization of the sagas to himself.

HUNN VERMUNDSSON tries to keep his horse in the lead, where it is only natural for him to be.

Astrid holds onto the reigns tight, she loved riding but seldom got the chance, with all the courtly duties and...men...

A deer bounds out of the nearby woods, a buck with an impressive rack of antlers. It pauses in front of the group while the rest of the hunters ride on, and then leaps off, along the forest's edge.

"What a prize that would be!" Domar exclaims. "Lead the way, Astrid!"

Astrid smiles and kicks her horse after it. "With me, come on!"

HUNN VERMUNDSSON howls and gives chase. He did not know the taste of venison, but the kill would bring glory none the less.

Domar nudges his horse after the two leaders, smiling a bit to himself at Hund's antics.

The group follows after the deer into the forest, but quickly lose sight of it. The tracks start fresh and go deep into the woods. Soon, however, nature takes its course. The bushes become more abundant and the tracks less visible.

"We'll have to continue on foot," Ylva notes.

HUNN VERMUNDSSON drops off his horse, grateful to have his feet back on the ground. He hefts his axe, ready to track the deer through the brush and bring it down, whispering to himself. "Allrfadir, ek saka yð ágæti..."

Astrid climbs down from her horse, smoothing her gown. "Ylva, take the lead please." She looks at all the brush and silently vows to enjoy eating this deer for making her risk tearing her dress.

Well, she certainly does know her way around the woods at least. She's better at them on foot than she is on horseback anyway, so in a way she's almost glad that their quarry had dashed into the brush. She's never exactly gotten along the greatest with horses... Now if only this wasn't putting her in the spotlight, it would be perfect.

If she were saying that aloud, it would be as wry as a sailors balls when they first hit port are vinegary.

The best she can do now is say "Hey, yeah, sure. I can do that." and begin slipping forward through the brush, great at following things and certainly solid at moving silently through foliage, a little unused to actually aiding others to do the same though. She sure does try, regardless.

Domar dismounts and ties his horse to a tree before going to join the others.

Perception + Survival = 10 + 0 = 10

Hund realizes right away that the deer has escaped them, but there's something else...traces left by boots, as well as indications that someone has picked up dead wood here. It's odd, though, since the nearest farm is more than a 15 minute walk away, and this place is pretty wild. And besides that, this new track plunges into the heart of the woods...if it was just some freeman gathering firewood he was going the wrong way.

HUNN VERMUNDSSON stops where he is. "Wait, my princess. Something is very odd here..."
