[QUOTE="hbarsquared, post: 1493279, member: 4550"] [center]* * *[/center] Telenor tried to maneuver into the alley, but found his way blocked. The wolf and wildman, a mess of flying fur and flashing steel, kept him at bay. Telenor raised his rapier impotently, but kept his eye on the shadowy figure clinging to wall. After hearing his cry, she skittered across the wall, and swung herself up to the rooftop. Hershan rushed into alley, barely registering the surprised look on the cleric's face as he passed. He stepped to the side of the body the other man had just downed and concentrated on the one with his attention focused on the wolf. He struck with his hand, glancing the man's back with his fist.
