Unseen Danger

ooc: I was originally planning on de-escalating this and having the bear retreat, though I hate to disappoint anyone if you guys wanted a fight as well? xD If we do do a fight would you like me to use the fight chart or just have it in text as there are no specific rules for battling NPC's? I believe everyone can control the npc's also.

Run. It was the only word echoing in his head as he scrambled to his feet and took off at a clumsy run. Drashiel was doing his best leaping through the deeper snow but it was rough going that slowed him downs. In the thicket of the trees the blowing snows had been barred and only accumulated to a few inches. He heard the snarls and the slamming paws and for a second feared it was after them. In his panic he started to stumble again in the thick snowfall. It was then that the stench of blood hit his nose and he whirled around to see the white fae? was perfectly fine and the bear wasn't pursuing them? at least not in earnest. The great beast was plooding cautiously forward and to the side toward where Drashiel had been hiding. It sniffed the area then looked back at them. But? where was the scent of blood coming from? Looking around Drashiel saw another white wolf, blood-stained? dangerous. He hesitated but then the wolf spoke and seemed to be on his side. Drashiel started to head south again, hoping the adults would follow when he heard the bear roar. The bear smelt blood. He turned in time to see the bear charge but it had barely started when it stopped suddenly, again slamming it's paws onto the snow-covered ground, snarling again. Startled Drashiel had bolted only to trip. When he recovered he saw a huge, spotted cat had appeared and was also snarling at the bear. The bear roared back at the leopard and lunged forward taking a warning swipe at the left-side of the feline's face. It wasn't necessary meant to connect but as a way for the massive creature to get it's personal space back. Drashiel noticed that the bear was backing up slightly, clearly nervous and even more agitated? soon it became obvious why. Blending in with the snow so that he could barely see them were two cubs. They were nestled in the trees just near where he'd been hiding. The pup tensed as he realized the bear had been trying to drive them away from her babies but if Drashiel called out and the wolves attention turned to the pup, the mother was sure to notice her cubs had been discovered and charge. Drashiel was just ready to get the heck out of there. "Come on! Why are you idiots standing there lets go!" He knew the fae had enough sense to run but the brute stunk of crazy.
