'Til Death Do Us Part (Medusa x Newt)

Ooc: to counter that statement I did in fact state where medusas paws were,
?She would feel medusas paws push into her chest but the added force of her own momentum would cancel that force out as it equaled it with her own greater force.? What I failed to mention was where the bite landed, but this wasn?t described in her next post only where her paws landed. This saying, it is all in interpreting the battle. Newt was rising at the same moment that medusa was rising. She is in fact 8 inches taller then her so the paws would not touch her jaws, they would hit her chest. With newts forward force she would counter that force of medusa. Newts head would be slightly taller then that of medusas. This is why she turned her head slightly to try and grab medusas neck. I wanted this clarified. However, the damage that she described will be discussed further in my post<.b>
Time, it was a fickle thing. In battle seconds were what mattered. Where one thought they could escape there was no actual way to escape. They needed more time. She had in fact timed everything as best as she could. She had moved at the same exact moment that medusa had moved. She had rose on her back legs to meet the woman head on. There was indeed an 8-inch height difference between the two and she was certain that should she meet her head on she would loom over the woman ever so slightly. She had ensured to lower her head to protect her neck as she had gone for the side of medusas neck. Rather then grab what she was seeking.
She managed to land her paws on medusas shoulders as the serpent shoved her paw straight at her mouth to hit the back of her throat. Her jaws had been open and her head had been bent to ensure the protection of her throat. The woman had pushed and turned her paw in her mouth, aiming to scratch the soft tissue inside. She had hit the gagging reflect with this newts mouth had begun to close automatically and her head push forward, at the same moment medusa was pushing down with her paw. This would push the woman back towards the ground to attempt to rid her of the paw that was gagging her. All the while her teeth were closing around the paw, a cough very slight opening of her jaws had allowed medusa to ripped her paw out of her mouth before further damage could be done. Blood filled her mouth as the claws caught her gums and tongue but with the automatic reaction of gagging the damage wasn?t enough to brutally harm her mouth. No, it was mere tears at her tongue and gums.
With this Medusa had fallen back. Newt was falling as well; the coke had made her buckle her back legs to allow her body to fall down towards the ground. She had hoped during the same moment that medusa had pushed her paw into her mouth to that she would attempt to garb the side of her neck. The paw had been unfortunate and thus had pushed her back towards the ground. Medusa had attempted to mimic her previous attack. As medusa lunged forward, slightly low to the ground, newt had touched the ground on her back paws, slightly in an almost sitting position but more so to ensure her legs would work like springs. She pushed her body forward, almost crouched, and allowed herself to be met almost head on but more at an angle by medusas forward assault.
She kept her tail level with her body to help keep her balance. Her ears still remained backwards to help keep them protected. Her legs were spread apart to balance her fall and at the same time maintain her balance with the forward motion of medusas attack. Though the woman was 80 pounds lighter she had still flung her full weight forward. If she hadn?t been careful that could push the behemoth off balance. Thankfully the wound in her shoulder and sprain would slow her down just enough for her to touch the ground and push down and out. Her own descend had slowed her forward momentum significantly. She would use her own weight to help keep her in place. But her forward thrust of her chest and downward motion was simultaneously done and thus not much momentum was thrown towards the serpent?s way.
She felt Fangs find the side of her chest, medusa had been aiming for her belly/ribs, and rather she had gotten the side of her chest/shoulder area. (This is assuming she is attempting to attack between newt?s legs in order to get to her belly) The fur was still thick from the on coming winter and her bulk was a form of protection though the area was not impenetrable. She felt fangs pushing into her flesh, though she was certain the amount of fur in her mouth would be discomforting and possibly gag her, and she felt the weight of medusa pushing into her. As well she felt the forward push of a paw. She pushed back against her legs to keep her balance and take the force that medusa was throwing her way. At the same time, she pulled her head towards the back of the woman?s neck. She was lower to the ground and now preoccupied with the flesh of her chest in her mouth. She was certain medusa wasn?t about to be lenient with her bite and would possibly thrash her head to pull and tug at the flesh. Or she could be mistaken and the woman would attempt to regroup release the flesh she had grabbed.
Regardless of hat reaction was to come of medusa scoring her chest she was aiming her head down and directly over the back of medusas neck/spine. She was attempting to bite down while the woman was distracted and grab a hold of the back of her neck, biting fiercely if she scored it, to either dislocate vertebrae or break her neck with the force of her bite. Being a dire wolf her jaws were slightly longer then that of her smaller cousin. If she did not break the neck she would hold onto it and shake towards the right. She would use the bulk of her weight, once the forward momentum was stopped, and pull her head and body towards the ground with medusa locked in her jaws should she score the hit.
Round: 4/4
Attacks: Once medusa has grabbed hold of Newts chest, newt is aiming to bite the back of medusa neck with as much force as her bite can muster. She is also attempting, if she is successful in grabbing that neck, then she is going to use all her strength in her neck/bite/forward motion to push medusa into the ground and hold her.
Damage: Damage to her gums and tongue from medusas claws attempting to scrape inside her mouth before her gag reflects kicked in and she began to close her mouth in reaction and cough. This caused some damage but not as significant as assumed. Once medusa lunged forward towards newts belly, she hit her chest/shoulder area. I am Unsure the depths of the damage until it is known how medusa reacts to catching this bite. Newt is pushing into it. So she is also achieving minor bruising around her chest from medusa slamming her weight into her, there is an 80 pound difference and newt is absorbing the momentum evenly in her body from her posture and bent legs.
Defenses: Her head is lowered to protect her neck. Her hair is raised for added defense. Her ears are back to protect them. Her tail is level with her body to maintain balance and her legs are buckled to also maintain balance. Her legs are evenly apart to help absorb the shock of the forward momentum of medusas attack.
