Fort Ardent

The sound of an enemy howl rising over his lands woke Eligos from his sleep in an instant and he rose, nudging both dogs roughly. He stepped out of his cave and sent up a howl of his own that echoed through the ravine and beyond to call together the noncombats and instructed them to go to the predecided safe place - the deep caverns midway down the ravine wall that could be easily defended by one or two wolves. When he lowered his muzzle again, he turned to the dogs. "Kida, Cypher," he said sharply. "Gather the noncombats. Pyrrhic's pups must be kept safe." With the two dogs to help, the pups could be transported to the caverns quickly. He could not know what the invaders wanted, but he would not risk his brother's young.

As they took off with a set of yips in stereo, he turned to climb the steep path to the cavern to be certain it was ready for them. When they had arrived, he would set out to confront the raiders at his warriors' sides.

OOC: any wolf not participating in the raid should be posted here.
