"Nariah was hot, bothered and truly fed up of being huffed at by farmers. They were coming back from the fourth farm on the list and werent even halfway down. Celeb and Fin were behind her (lovebirds!) which was doing approximately nothing for her mood.
"If one more person says "Listen here young lady", I will honestly..." She muttered to herself before stopping. Sounds were coming from over the ridge they were coming up....battle, screams..and howls!
Sprinting to the top if the ridge, Nariah looked down in horror at the scene below. Not time to just look though, need to think sharp, as shed heard Elfred say before.
Pulling her bow from her back she sighted along an arrow. Pull back, pull back...get exactly the right spot...She let fly and was rewarded by a yelp as the creature went down, with an arrow in its stomach. Taking another, she fired again, finishing off the wolf.
Gaddy was fighting nearby, cutting the throat of a wolf nearby.
"Gaddy...!" Nariah started to call, but didnt have time and decided it was easier to deal with it herself; she finished off the wolf about to leap at Gadddys unprotected back with the long knife she had taken from the pile. Gaddy turned back to her gratefully, and Nariah smiled briefly before grabbing Gaddy and pulling him down as another wolf soared growling over their heads. When it landed it turned more quickly than Nariah, swiping at the barmaid with a beclawed paw. Now, in the inn Nariah had learnt to deal with difficult customers who swiped at her, and this wolf was not going to be an exception. Slapping his nose scoldingly with the flat of her blade, she shouted at it randomly. The wolf backed away slightly, confused and with a slightly swelling nose. In its confusion Nariah swiped at it with her knife and by some strange fluke managed to hit it across the throat. Well, that was never the way Ive had to do that before...
Turning, she surveyed the confusion and bloodshed. Muttering slightly under her breath, she pressed her back against a tree and, taking out her bow, began to let rip with deadly accuracy into the melee...
