Pidge hung back for a second, letting Kubo grab it's full attention before she moved into position. She was probably going to have only one shot at this and when it started to buck...well, hooking her bayard into the antlers was still doable but it would be tricky.

Thank goodness the target is wide enough, and her bayard snags on one of the branches just before she's snapped up with an admittedly undignified scream.

No, no, this was her plan. Swing on the antlers, get up on it's back. She just didn't expect to come down as hard as she did. The beast shaking it's head whipped her downward as surely as it whipped her upwards and she came down on the curve of it's flank. Knocked the wind out of her, but she's holding on.

"Try to -oof- point it's head downwards!" It came out a little wheezier than she wanted, but hopefully he still heard.
