His attacks and everyone else's were useless. Nothing they had could penetrate the permafrost and hard skin surrounding the beast. Scald sees this now as he slides backward from the worm, making space between him and it. He lets his gaze sweep over the crowd for a moment. Everyone seems okay except for Medusa, but she could handle herself. Noticing that some throw things and others just stand there, he isn't sure what to do.

Most of him says run because what else could they do? There was no killing the thing. Until a younger wolf calls out for help. He turns to look, seeing that she's trying to setup sharp shards of ice. Was she thinking to impale the monster? Were they capable of working in such a large group? They were pack animals after all... Surely they could come together. Guess he could try, right? Or would it be easier to have the worm chase them out of the cave and into the open air? Would it be warm enough to melt the ice surrounding it? At least he could be a distraction for everyone else...

Slinking quietly, Scald moves toward the outside edge of the group and more toward the exit. He can see the flat plain of ice and sparse pines filling the landscape. It wasn't far and he was a fast runner. Looking back at the worm, he watches it. Delaying the inevitable would be fruitless. None of them were going to leave here alive so he might as well try.

"Everyone quiet, move to the edges and stay still," he calls out in a loud voice, hoping they listen. Without waiting, Scald looses a loud howl as he tips back his head. Listening to his voice echo through the makeshift ice cavern, he doesn't wait for his howl to finish before moving into action. Kicking up shards of ice behind so they clatter loudly, he continues to bark and howl so that the cacophony of noise doesn't stop. He doesn't dare look back in case the worm is indeed following. If he can make it outside, lead the worm there too, maybe they'll have a better chance...
