The Great Marmot Standoff [Azure]

Dómari grinned as the pup agreed to help. "Ok, great. Take this end of sinew rope and tie it around the boulder here." He passed over the supplies. It was really more of a large rock than a boulder but boulder sounded cooler. "I'm going to make a loop on this end of the sinew for the muskrat to go through." He bent his head and carefully took one end of the sinew in his teeth. While holding down the sinew rope with his paws he carefully tied a knot until he had a good sized loop. "Huh, are you sure it wasn't a muskrat? Sounds like you're describing a muskrat." He was impressed though that the kid had managed to take out a beaver.

"Well… I'm not entirely sure. I'm kind of making this up as I go, but here's the idea. I'm tying this loop so that when the muskrat runs through and I pull it will tighten around it and hold it still long enough for someone. You. To go and kill it. Having it tied around the boulder will prevent it from running off if there's just you or if I lose my grip." Dómari had never made a snare before. He knew the idea was to create something you could leave and come back to later but he had to start out somewhere.
