(459) Will probs have Ithiel show up to ~*save the day*~ or something equally silly. XD
Draugr is by me!
The dark-furred wolf-dog didn't know what was he was doing here. She had been excited enough when they discovered the camp, knowing they'd fall upon it soon enough and smash the attackers to pieces, but in the midst of battle, she was afraid -- more afraid than she'd ever been in her short life, in reality. In her Secui form, Draugr ran large, but size mattered little against armored opponents. Still, it was all she could do. Draugr knew no weaponry, she owned no horse, and there was little else she could do against these foes. Thankfully, she was not alone. Inferni and Salsola together were a large group, and by sheer numbers alone, they might well triumph.
Other than a scrape along her back and a strong ache in her shoulder, Draugr had managed to come out unscathed thus far. She darted through the forest, snapping at combatants when she could, avoiding their weapons as best she could. Thus far, she'd avoided the ones with projectiles -- and good for her, too, since she wasn't quite sure how one was supposed to fight an enemy from afar in four-legged form. There was one on the edge of the fray, however, and Draugr stopped a moment, crouching beside a tree. It was leaning wildly, almost completely fallen, but the tree still lived, and its greenery provided the moment of cover Dra needed to assess the situation.
A red-haired coyote moved nearby, in possession of another projectile-firing weapon. Draugr's head snaked from one combatant to the other, and she narrowed her pale eyes as the coyote was hit. Deciding she ought to move, the hybrid paced wide around the wolf with the crossbow, moving as quickly as she dared. It wasn't necessary to keep absolutely silent -- the sounds of battle were loud enough to conceal most sounds of motion -- but the hybrid still needed the element of surprise. She shot out of the underbrush and toward the wolf at the same time as the fire-haired coyote exploded from her cover, and they seemed ready to converge upon the wolf.
And then, the whole world was spinning! There was a great crash and a feeling of impact, though the feeling was brief enough. Dra lost consciousness for a brief moment, and when she woozily lifted her head, she realized she had been thrown clear of the first wolf, and another on horseback was bearing down on her. The wolfdog struggled to her feet and almost fell as she placed weight on one of her legs -- it had gone completely numb, and she just barely scooted out of the way of the horse's hooves, avoiding another impact with the animal.
