And with that explosion of violence, the already wounded briar wolf breathes it's last. Around them the Hedge seems quite. Eerily so.

"It is rude," Circe drawls, "Ta say I told ya so. But I'm an asshole," she says the last cheerfully then sings out, "I told you so."
Then decides to investigate the trap, to see if it is Hedgespun or mundy make. Could be helpful information. That or have the pups harvest the briarwolf. "Teeth, claw, bone, hide. Those could help me with Hedgespinning," she taps her machete, "Either of ya good at harvesting corpses?"
Stats & Equipment
It is quite a far past the monthly limit, but I am willing to continue.
Jasper lets out a shaky breath once that quick burst of violence is over. Beasts are creatures of instinct, more so than most, but then you have to deal with the brain and that's just a pain in the arse. He can't help but laugh at the jab from Circe, his ears flicking back up again after the ringing in his ears stops from the gunshot.
He watches her head towards the trap and then nods to her words. "If we're not gonna keep it, Ah'd like to see it destroyed.." as for the briar wolf. "Ah was thinkin' the same thing. Ah can probably get it dressed properly but Ah didn't bring a knife with me. Ah wouldn't mind a few bits myself. Been meaning to improve this.." he says, rubbing a hand over his Hedgespun jacket.
Stats and Equipment
It has been going for a good bit but I'm also willing to continue as well.
I am up for continuing the patrol.
Vincent looks down at the corpse, a little pang in his beast heart he crouches low and touches the briar wolfs head, "I am sorry my friend, I wish things would have ended differently." Vincent looks back to Circe and says, "You did warn us, but as a beast I cannot help how I feel about a fellow beast, hobbie or not."
Vincent stays crouched in contemplation before asking Circe "How far is your hollow from here? If it is not far, I would rather dress the beast there than out here in the open."
Tongues of Birds and Words of Wolves: The changeling can speak to all animals of the specified type for the next scene.
Beast’s Keen Senses: +2 dice bonus to all Wits rolls relating to perception for the next full scene. In addition, he gains the chosen animal’s most notable sensory ability.
Equipment
The briar wolf was dead, and the Lost might take what they want from it's hide, but the trap it had been caught it gleams in the light, who left the trap here, and was it supposed to be for the Hedge's very own werewolves...?
Any PCs Hollows would be a fair bit off from where you are now. Dex + Crafts if you wanna dress the briar worlf it will be an extended action, Int + Investigation to look around for clues about the trap/immediate location
"Too far ta drag something this big without a cart or mount," she assures Vincent. She doesn't acknowledge the Beast's sympathy for feral things.
Well, Circe DID have a machete. Which she brandishes after slinging her rifle. "I'll get some of it ta split later. See what ya can find boys," she assures them. For the smaller bits, she will also draw out a knife. They could probably see more than her, no helmet and super sniffers and all that.

Jasper nods over to Vincent's comment about a Beast's tendency to want to look out for other beasts. He nods to Circe's suggestions before he reaches out to give the dead briar wolf a soft pat on it's side, willing his glamour into a clause.
Beast's Keen Senses (1 success)
"We'll keep an eye out," he says as he stands up, brushing the open trap away with the tip of his boot before he starts to circle around the fresh kill. He looks at the Thorns around him, letting his gaze search for anything, dangers, clues, fruit, etc. His ears flick up to help and he takes a deep inhale through his nose. He knows the blood is going to be there, from the hob's wounds and from Circe is going to start to do but he tries to ignore it, or at least filter it out despite it being blaringly obvious to the Wolfhound's senses.
Perception (4 successes)
Stats and Equipment
Vincent gives both Circe and Jasper a nod, "Get as much as we can, I can really use some hedge gear. I haven't had any since I left my troupe.". Vincent then walked around listening and smelling for any danger that might approach while Circe was dressing this creature. He was certain that he could fit a some of the creature in his bag to take it to a safe place.

Circe gets started on the long arduous process of dressing a briar wolf, it'll take time for the Fairest to gut and skin and harvest what needs to gutted, skinned and harvested.
Both Beasts smell the blood, the other Lost, their noses feel bone-dry-almost-bleeding as they take in the Summer Queen's dry Mantle, knowing it would be worse if the Crimson Queen was flaring it and not just having it rest organically. It would be worse if the pair of them weren't Courtless.
Rot, easily comes to their noses, nearer to the trap, and oh, some of the briar wolf's flesh had been torn off and the hobbeast had been in this trap long enough for that torn flesh to have started to rot away.
But under all that, Vincent who's nose might be just a hair keener, who might have took in a deeper breath smells something sickly sweet, cloying and makes him think of some thing pink.
Circe can roll me another Dex + Crafts
3 successes
"If ya boys notice anything, let, grrrk," that was annoying. Circe lifts up the machete and brings it down hard, "Me," something lets out a crack at the next hack, "Know. I'll get the rifle up."
She still had a lot of rounds if suppressing fire be needed.
