The clacking of antlers and sword fill the air as the reindeer plow into Calico Jack’s cutlass and, as they plant their hooves and push, the tall man does the same. A struggle of brute strength ensues as Jolly Roger intercepts the leaping girl, forcing her to twist away from striking talons while the patchwork wolf is slowly being forced backward. A snarl rolls around the hilt when the youth’s voice cries for the aid of her two reindeer and it gives the man a moment to regroup.

Spinning around to the face the girl, Jack offers her a smirk, dipping his head in acknowledgement as the sounds of a furious ruckus greet them. The Flying Dutchman has joined the fray, helping the parrot keep the deers’ attention away from the wolves so that may fight alone. When the almost-yearling moves forward, attempting to grapple him with fury radiating off her form, a laugh booms out of his mouth and around the sword.

This is what he lives for, fights for, and will probably, one day, die for. Heart hammers against his ribs as he shifts his back paws, planting them and splaying his toes as he lifts his front end off the ground in an effort to catch her upper body and wrestle her to the ground all while Calico Jack does his best to keep the cutlass away from her.

"Calico Jack"

Kaija nearly grinned into the bite she landed on his foreleg, feeling the adrenaline of a good fight beginning to course through her now. He kicked his leg out hard, effectively forcing her to lose her grip, though she wasn't deterred. At least not initially, though the leopard coming for her was surprising enough to cause her to lurch back - the feline's sharp claws could do some real damage and she wasn't interested in seeing how much.

In an attempt to pull out of his attack, she gave her head and body a good vigorous shake. Wasn't like it'd feel good in the process but she hoped she could shake him off her and redirect his focus. Keeping her held own by the scruff didn't leave a whole lot of wiggle room for her. As his companion moved she made to swipe out at her, hoping to disrupt her before she got too close.

His teeth connect and dig in harder than he’s expecting. Eyes widening, paws stumbling as Maki continues to barrel into him. Practically entangled in her own long legs, Scald continues to stumble until he’s falling. Disengaging his jaw from her cheek, he lets out his own startled yelp as he go falling to the ground. In the process, he reaches out as best as he can to try and grab at her shoulders. If he could bring her down with him, he could at least try to wrestle with her on the ground.

Most of the raiding party were young and enthusiastic, while Inferno was ... well, she was starting to get to middle aged, that was for sure. She didn't bounce back as easily as the young wolves these days. She held back a bit to watch their backs, and pace herself, so she didn't step into the fray right away. Finally stepping up, she swept her fire-and-ice gaze across the battle, taking note of who was where and how their battles were going for them, staying in reserve, ready to step in if one of the raiders fell back or someone new joined in.

And the winner is...

The cryptborn hears the call, hears the warriors begin to pick up. Her heart pounding in her chest... well, it's a good a time as any to prove herself. Henbane races down the side of the mountain, among the last to join the throng. No time left to waste, though the formidable creature is already a bit out of breath by the time she's down the mountain. Not built for speed, but that can't matter much.

It won't matter as she rushes her opponent, tusks first. It's messy, reckless-- she's excitable, and that's already coming into play. There's no real aim, only striking in the direction of the stranger's forequarters. Well matched in height, but she's got the weight advantage. A battering ram of a girl, Hen can really enjoy herself here. Head tossing, throwing her shoulders forward as she lunges, a low growl echoing from somewhere deep in her throat. The fights are friendly, allegedly, but Henbane doesn't know the meaning of the word. Oops, all teef!

The raiders won fight after fight as Inferno watched, mismatched eyes hawkish and intense in their tracking over the crowd, guarding the other fighters' backs. With her attention on her packmates Inferno was almost taken by surprise when she was rushed by a growling, slashing, heavyset younger wolf. She quickly twisted to send the tusks sliding along her armor, taking the brunt of the charge on the brass-covered breastplate with a grunt as the heavier wolf's momentum pushed her skidding backwards. She didn't return the fierceness of her opponent's growl but instead stayed silent as she sought to slice her long fangs across the side of Henbane 's neck. She would need to stay as mobile as possible to mitigate the slight edge their weight difference gave her opponent, so she didn't try to gain a grip but just aimed to lacerate.

Henbane is quick and brutal, enjoying herself more than she should. Really getting to stretch her legs, flex her muscles, and test her mettle in ways she hadn't been able to enjoy before. Maybe this whole pack thing wasn't too bad, if she got to do shit like this. Her opponent skids backwards in the snowy terrain, and Hen has to fight to keep up. Scrambling on the slushy ground, throwing herself after her opponent with a snap of her jaws. Henbane takes a hit to her neck, feeling the woman's teeth slash the tender flesh. This is fun, and she's having the best time. Attempting to get in closer, Henabne grabs for the lighter woman's shoulder. Finding purchase would gain her ground, and ground is all it takes in these fights, right? Henbane Aeris

The faint thrill of triumph as her teeth met flesh was fleeting, for nearly as soon as blood flooded over her tongue the aggressive younger wolf's teeth sink into Inferno's own shoulder too deeply to pull away quickly without more damage than the soldier was willing to commit to. With a gutteral noise deep in her throat, Inferno tilted her head and slammed the sturdy top of her skull down, aiming to headbutt Henbane 's eye. As she did, she reached forward with her paw, clad in the brass-clawed gauntlet, to attempt to slash at Henbane's ribcage on her left side.

The ghost of ghouls long since passed didn't seem that interested in following through after all, and Wake is quick to turn on his next opponent. One down, one to go? Maybe there's some fun out here for him, after all. It seemed like everyone else was coming up roses, some (perhaps false) confidence coursing through the boy.

Tossing his head and turning gracefully, Wake rushes the larger boy. Teeth gnashing, a (nearly) playful growl echoing from somewhere deep in his chest. Lashing out recklessly as he closes the gap, Wake strikes for the grey and white creature's shoulder. Right, this is supposed to be fun. Was he having fun yet?

HENBANE AERIS The raid around her devolving quickly, Henbane isn't willing to give this one up. With a final look toward her previous opponent and a rakish grin, the girl turns to dash onto the next one. Feeling a bit of grim responsibility for the rest, Hen dives to meet the girl that had bested the angriest of the viking children. Head tossing, ruby gaze intent. "Me next!" Rakish and brilliant, Hen dives for the colorful girl, tusks first. Reckless as she swings for the forequarters, excitable. Behind her, the penguins toddle as quickly as they can, sliding on the icy crust of the wintry Steppe. Go for the knees, henguins, the knees!
