a majestic elk-like being was striding slowly across the field, with eight groaning and bare-breasted elves hanging wedged by their skimpy rope-like undergarments from its great antlers (Patreon)

Only 6 fit believably, and then, it was so symmetrical it looked contrived (gods forbid a magical beast from Chinese myth giving a bunch of elves wedgies look contrived, right?), so I went with 5.  It looked good.
