Lone Wolf I: Shadows on the Dorn

"You wanna bite me? YOU WANNA BITE ME? BITE THIS!" shouts Hoagar, dropping his rifle and taking out his axe. He'll attack this round if he can.

"That's telling 'em, Greyface!" Moon's Brand exclaims as she prepares to fire at again at the Dhax. She will fire at whichever one that seems the closest to death on her initiative.

The Dhax whirls towards Jesabela, snapping at her. It misses, however, and she flails out with her blade. The sharpened steel whizzes harmlessly past its head. Of the other Dhax, one rushes in to sink its jaws through Hoagar's armor, wounding the stoic dwarf, while the other wounds Silver Wind frightfully. Hoagar was making a strike at the Dhax he battled earlier, and his axehead opens a frightful wound in its back. From the other end of the battle-line, Moon's Brand looses an arrow. The Dhax's yelp of pain from Hoagar's axe is silenced almost as soon as it begins by an arrow lodging itself in its throat. The feral creature falls in the dust, and the largest of its fellows kneels to feed off its fallen comrade. Silver Wind attempts to fire off an arrow, but is distracted by the pain of his wound. The arrow flies harmlessly into the grass.

Now fearful for her comrades lives, Moon's Brand nocks another arrow and, with a silent prayer to Kai and Ishir on her lips, lets fly at the Dhax still engaged with her associates, temporarily ignoring the feasting one. Hold on Silver Wind! she silently encourages her friend. I can heal you afterward, but right now we need your strength, so stay with us! For the upteenth time, she wishes that Dark Hawk were with them still.
 

Ignoring his wound, Hoagar takes his axe and tries to flank one of the Dhax that the others are fighting. "BEAST WOLVES... FEEL MY AXE!" Sweat pouring from his brow, he drives his weapon at another of the beasts.
 

Almost fainting from the pain, Silver Wind's vision swims. Must hold on he thinks to himself. Drawing yet another arrow from his quiver, he focuses his mind on knocking the arrow to his bow and aiming at the heart of the nearest Dhax. A sudden surge of strength that he senses from one of his comrades clears his vision, and he releases the arrow...
 

"Fall back!" Jesabela calls out to her companions. "Let them feast!" That just might work ...


She'll back off as soon as she can, hoping that the others will follow - with luck, the second Dhax will go for the fallen one as well. Maybe they'll even start to fight? And if it does follow us, it'll still be three on one ...

In case the others do not follow her (and Jesabela still has some movement range left), she'll try to circle around to get into the back of the Dhax, aiming for a sneak attack in the next combat round.

The largest Dhax still engaged in its feast, Jesabela moves slowly backwards. The other Dhax snaps at Silver Wind again, but thankfully misses this time. Hoagar chops out with his axe, its blade thudding into the creature's leathery hide. It yelps in pain. Moon's Brand, seeing what Jesabela is up to, silently nods and likewise moves back, keeping her arrow at the ready. Silver Wind, meanwhile, fires at the lupine creature, opening a slight furrow in its scalp but not harming it.
