[QUOTE="Hillsy7, post: 7311443, member: 6689191"] [b]Burrai Steelborn[/b] With two solid thuds everything changed. Jabbar fell, clutching at the pole jammed into his shoulder, and Aletia squawked in shock and pain behind him - and in his head all the pieces and priorities slid and shifted in a moment. No longer was it simply a case of driving a wedge between Aletia and the wererats long enough to bring them down, oh nothing so simple as that anymore. Ren bolting away didn’t make things any easier. In one swoop, the Vulkyrie had added more problems, goals and conflicting priorities into the mix. And almost certainly a time limit; the guards would be coming. And none of them right now should be there when that happens. Inaction wasn’t an option either. He quickly hissed over his shoulder. [COLOR="#8B4513"]“Aletia. Get Jabbar out of here. Now! Kayote’s. Somewhere. Anywhere.”[/COLOR] A Rhat tried to get up and bolt past him, and he swung instinctively, backhanded, at its face. [COLOR="#8B4513"]“Ersun, grab Ren! Quickly!”[/COLOR] He bawled at the underfolk, raising his shield again and sidling a little to one side to keep both the were rat and the Vulkyre in view. “And you!” He shouted up to the flying creature.

Either served his purpose though. He set his feet, hunkered down a little more to make less of a target of himself, and prepared to see what this roll of the dice would bring.
