Feel the Thunder

Artorias was disappointed to find his teeth made no purchase on Briar's leg, snapping only on empty air as the Fatalis princess skirted around his opening attack. She moved fast, positioning herself to his two o'clock before he could maneuver on her. She came at him, and Artorias felt the sting of her teeth grab at his foreleg, drawing irritated growls from the young wolf. Ordinarily he would reach over and try to grab his opponent by the neck in this situation, but he couldn't do that with Briar, the small rack of antlers preventing him from going for her scruff. Wait... her antlers!

The two made contact as the rain began to fall more heavily, starting to soak Artorias through his fur. The moment Briar grabbed his foreleg, Artorias took his opening, turning his head to try and grab Briar's antlers in his powerful jaws and with his free paw close to the base where they met her skull. In their close quarters, she would either have to relinquish her hold on them and reset their positions or end up in a grapple with him holding her by the head. If he managed to grab her antlers, Artorias would begin to pull and thrash with all his might, twisting to use the leverage on her head and the soft terrain of the wet sand to throw Briar off her paws into a pin before she could yank him off of his.
