The Warped (2nd Party)

[serpington]

"so, anyone got any bright ideas on how we're going to get out of this one? we could just kill the pack leader and see if that does anything" he continued to watch from his perch above them, he sighed as the smaller wolves devoured the meat without a second thought, all his, constance's and macids work being eaten by creatures that weren't even stopping to taste it. "man, it's like watching half the customers back at my old job." he said calmly, not really talking to anyone.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Macid's attempt activated the eye, however, the eye had been pointed at one of the wolves attacking the deer carcass to the left of the direction he was looking, so everything that showed up on Macid's book were pictures of the wolf devouring the deer. The alpha wolf let out a roar and spat out a large, liquid ball. However, since it was still running, it narrowly missed Mortis and hit a bush near her. The liquid splashed onto the leaves and dissolved them. Acid, not like the poison that Moon spits.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Mortis jerked when the bush near her dissolved, but she continued to draw, hoping once again that someone was going to distract the damned thing while she drew. She hoped that Constance's wolf or Max could hassle around the creature and distract it. Without thinking much on it, she flipped the page again, this time attempting to summon another gnome like before. It was something she could do more quickly and it could maybe be useful until she could finish the komodo.

Constance's wolf made a dash for the alpha wolf, though before he could get to him another wolf took her wolf up in it's mouth. Before closing it's jowls it was clawed in the eyes and forced to let go. Once on his own feet the wolf bit into the larger wolf's throat and began to shake it's head violently to rip it clean out. The wolf was getting covered in blood from his actions but soon he was flung away from the wolf leaving it to choke and gasp as it's injuries were fatal.

Macid looked at his book in confusion. He was sure he pointed at the large wolf with Anon, but the pictures did not correspond with it. He closed the book and looked at the eye, which was now closed, and realized the eye had to have been looking at a wolf eating the carcass. He made a mental note for next time and watched helplessly as the battle ensued. He watched as the wolf spat a large glob of what looked like acid towards the tree where Mortis was. It missed and hit a bush, dissolving it almost instantly. "Lovely, acid wolves. What's next, fire bees?" Macid made sure to stay near Constance in case one of the wolves decided to go for them. He remembered Filadius say that his fire shield would only protect him, but he figured if he could stay really close to Constance, it'd protect her too.

max sighed and rolled his eyes before jumping down behind constance and macid, Ramsey resting on his shoulders. "i swear someone is just creating these sort of animals just to annoy us..." he sighed again walking past them. he twitched his shoulder and flicked Ramsey down to his side before starting to run forwards to help constance's smaller wolf take down the alpha. a few of the larger 'normall-er' wolves blocked him, forcing him to stop and try to deal with them. he lunged at the closest one in the hopes of killing it but instead only grazing it, drawing blood but doing not much else other than making it angrier.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Even though Constance's wolf managed to kill one, the alpha came in by surprise and bit down on it, maiming it in half. The alpha roared, and the larger wolves turned their attention to Max, who had been holding the large bladed weapon. The normal wolves finished off the deer carcass, and they were still very hungry. As a pack, they turned towards Constance and Macid. A gnome popped out of Mortis' book, and hobbled around. Unfortunately, for Mortis, when she turned the page, what she had done for the komodo was erased.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

When the gnome came out of the book Mortis quickly instructed it. "If you can, go for the Alpha," she pointed to the big weird looking wolf. "If not take out as many of the small ones as you can." When she flipped the page back to work on the komodo again, she let out a string of curses under her breath seeing that her progress had been erased. "Really? I can't work on more than one?" she mumbled exasperated. However because of the urgency of the situation, she gathered herself and started to draw again, "I guess I won't be doing that again..." she told herself as she worked.

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance averted her eyes when she saw her wolf get bitten in half. She felt herself losing it and stabbed the ground with Lych to prevent herself from running at it wildly. "That...Damned mut..." she said angrily through her clenched teeth. She took deep breathes to calm herself, knowing she couldn't do anything herself in this condition. She looked up to see the other, smaller wolves turning to her and Macid who was next to her. Knowing it would be trouble she quickly etched out the dog rune and summoned a dog. It stayed near the two to defend them. On of the smaller wolves came at them and the dog quickly took it down and growled fiercely at the others.

[Ares the Ram]

Macid's heart beat like a freight train as he watched the wolves close in on Constance and him. When he saw the large wolf take Constance's wolf by surprise and bit it in half, his heart skipped a beat. He wasn't feeling anywhere near as confident as before and slowly put Anon back in his bag. Suddenly, a dog appeared before him and met with one of the closer wolves to defend them. He looked at Constance to see that she had just finished summoning it and was visibly angry, probably at losing the wolf. He slowly took her hand and squeezed it, too scared to speak but wanting to show that he was there for her. He had his right hand with Anon's pen at the ready to use the fire wall if one of the wolves got close enough.

[serpington]

max was showered with blood from constances wolf as it was ripped apart, he tried to get at the alpha but was blocked by the larger wolves again, he suddenly looked behind him and saw macid and constance behind her new dog, "macid, constance, get up into the tree, at least the little ones shouldn't be able to get you." he turned his full attention back to the wolves blocking him, getting ready to attack while waiting for one of them too make the first move. "this is going to suck........"

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

The normal wolf that was knocked over got back up, growling more intensely at them, the dog returned the angry growls, holding its ground to protect Constance and Macid. The bulldog was large and fierce, but the wolves were still larger by a bit. The gnome hobbled over to the wall of wolves and exploded, knocking a couple of them back, having blown the face off one of them, who laid there slowly dying. 5 others then rushed for Mortis, planning to push right through Max, if not devour him on the way to Mortis.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Mortis grinned when she noticed her gnome doing some damage over the top of her book as she sketched, but it was quickly wiped from her face as she noticed the wolves advancing towards Max, eying her. Without thinking twice, she began to climb further up the tree, careful to keep her book open so her work on the komodo wouldn't be erased. "Please tell me these bastards can't climb," she said to herself, as she began to climb dangerously high. It was hard climbing with her one hand keeping the book from closing but somehow she managed until she lost her footing and dropped. Thankfully, she managed to grab one of the lower limbs with her tail which prevented her from falling too far down and her bag managed to catch on a limb without spilling out, however her book wasn't so lucky. It was now bouncing off the limbs until it landed on the ground, open to the half finished komodo.

Goddamnit! she thought, angry beyond comprehension at herself for allowing the book to escape her grip. Tears began to well up in her eyes, fear having a nasty hold on her momentarily until an idea shot through her head...Let's hope the bastards can't find me, either. Again, without thinking, she regained her composure and began to take off her clothes as her scales rippled to match her environment. She threw her clothes upward, not caring if they landed on a limb or not and within the short minute she had been hanging, she was suddenly nowhere to be found.

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance felt a hand on her hand and looked to see Macid. It soothed her a bit. "Macid..." she spoke softly. She snapped back to the fight when the gnome exploded. That's when she saw some of the wolves move to Max and it was at this point she saw Mortis in the tree. "Go help Max!" she shouted to her dog. She saw he could use a little help. She would have went up a tree like Max suggested but there was no way she was going up a tree with her ankle. She may be able to get up, but getting down would be troublesome.

[Ares the Ram]

Macid looked into Constance's eyes as she said his name. He wanted to tell her that everything would be allright and he would protect her, but before he could think an explosion shook him back to reality. "macid, constance, get up into the tree, at least the little ones shouldn't be able to get you." Macid looked back at Constance and down at her ankle. He knew she wouldn't be able to climb it on her own, and he wasn't strong enough to help her up without help. He didn't want to sit out in the open either, so he spoke to Constance. "I know you can't climb the tree with your ankle, but if you can get next to the tree, maybe it can give some cover for your back. Come on." He brought his arm around her and underneath her left arm, ready to help her up. "Whenever you're ready Constance, we'll move."
