Event Six.

[awashmods]

If you see this hairy creature Your first choice should always be to run Otherwise you had better hope You have silver bullets in a gun.

he full moon hangs brightly over the Town, hovering so low that it almost feels as though you could reach out and touch it. It should be comforting. But as the howl of wolves fills the air, it's anything but. There are werewolves on the prowl, and their target is very clear -- the Town won't be able to last without your help.

Yeah, we definitely do...

[Because this is a losing battle by any stretch of the imagination, when nothing they do seems to actually take down their opponents, and they're outnumbered to begin with.]

Break back for the town and hope they don't follow?

[IF they do, that's a bigger problem, and Keith will stand his ground no matter what the risks at that point. Because there are folks in the city who aren't used to fighting for their lives -- and shouldn't have to be.]

[Nyx shakes his head.]

I'm not arguing against it, but I don't know if these things'll be nice enough to not chase us if we run.

[He doesn't like being prey. It sits badly in his stomach.]

On the other hand staying here is looking like a worse option. We should get out from under the trees either way.

[lonered]

They might not. But I think it's our best bet.

[It's a fair concern. But staying isn't working out for them. And this guy is right. Out in the open they'll be better off than in between these trees anyway. The creatures are at home here. Keith is fine taking away their home field advantage.]

So... fall back?

[He carries on the conversation in between fending off the wolves with his sword, frowning at how little it seems to affect them. Why. Why is hitting things with a sword always so ineffective here??]

[sirnyxalot]

[Idly Nyx wonders if Noctis is having better luck with his access to greatswords almost as big as the King is tall. Surely these wolves couldn't ignore that.

A sharp nod.]

Fall back.

[He gives it a breath so that they're both on the same page before casting Fira at the wolf between them and the edge of the trees. The fire blooms startlingly bright and the wolves scatter in alarm, leaving a way out.]
