I spy something tall and spotted
Pack hunt!

Ezra saw a faint wave of his father's paw and he gave Eska a glance and double checked to make Art and Jane were still in position. Once Kane signaled them with a quiet howl a grin crossed his features and he rushed out of the brush to lead the charge with a much louder howl to get the giraffe's attention and startle them. He led the group toward the tall, leggy creature that was at the edge of the herd nearest the side where Kane and his dad were waiting and where their trap was waiting to come into play. Some howls, barks, and snarls from the hunting party were enough to get the beasts moving and some carefully placed bites at its spindly legs forced their target to turn away from its herd and start moving in the direction of their trap in an attempt to get away.
It didn't run all that fast, but its legs lent itself to some very long strides so it meant that they still had to sprint to keep up with it as they put up a chase. He bit at the ankles of its front leg nearest him to make sure it was guided in the right direction, right for the two trees that he could now see had rope strung back and forth between the two trunks. A couple of times he had to dodge one of the giant hooves to keep from getting kicked, but some careful dodging kept him out of the line of fire. Soon enough they reached the trees and the trap worked mostly flawlessly, catching the giraffe's legs and toppling the sky high creature. "Look out!" he called as it began to fall, the ropes tangling around its feet and making it fall like a super tall tree. One of the trees began to give way to its weight and the pull of the ropes, partially pulling it out of the ground. The giraffe hit the ground with a loud thud, and he darted forward to throw his weight onto the upper part of its neck to make it harder for it to attempt to get up while he left it open for the others to do the same, assuming Kane or Artorias would finish it off with either the hunter's fangs or his friend's sword or both.
