Ooc: Next post due at 6pm CST on 5/25! The damage was originally supposed to be done with D10s, but I forgot that I was doing two rounds of fighting instead of three so I bumped it up to D20s to try and make it a bit more interesting!

Avacyn watched as the two teams clashed, and after just a few moments of scuffling she saw Eraithus and Nirvana fall back from the groups, leaving four on either side. She ended up standing up and moving to the edge of the bolder, her ebony gaze darting back and forth to try and catch all of the action as she started working out who might be declared the winner. It was still too early to tell who was going to edge out over the other, but she was keeping a sharp eye on all of their efforts. Her brother in particular got a bit ganged up on, but they were all in the thick of it! It was a fun fight to watch so far and she was interested to see how it went since it almost looked like it could go either way.


Due to not posting in the allotted time, Nirvana and Eraithus have been knocked out!

"Avacyn Mendacium"

She tried to make the woman fall and fall, she did. Scylla dodged as the weight of the fae came crashing down to earth. By the time Fern got her wits about her again, the girl was off. She'd heard the call for help and it made the call even sweeter that it came from Saracyn. The girl noted that he was getting tag-teamed and she chuckled under her breath.

She wouldn't make her brother her target, but the blue boy was easy game. As he went to bite into Sara's leg, Scylla slammed her body into the hind end of the blue wolf. Dexterous, grabby paws wrapped around thick clumps of the boys fur and she climbed him, sitting on his back as though he were some mighty steed. Only then did her jaws dart forward to grab a mouthful of flesh on the back of the wolfs neck. No one got to beat up the rotten strawberry except for her.

"Scylla"

Scylla had wanted to trip her and she does, but Fern decides to fall in a more, controlled way. Or, so she thought. Her gray body fails to squish the smaller body under her and, by the time she has regained her footing, the slate and cream girl is gone. Eyes scan the field, finding others locked in combat but not finding her opponent. A frown tugs at her lips until she spies her two teammates attacking the red wolf. There! On top of the Chade! The small wolf has climbed atop the blue boy as if he is something to be ridden and is biting at the back of his neck. A crazy plan forms in Fern’s mind as she judges the distance and height of the blue wolf.

Pale paws kick off the ground, gaining as much speed as she can in the short distance. When she is close enough, Fern crouches low only to spring up toward Scylla, mantling the blue wolf’s back to climb atop the mountain of a wolf. Grinning, the gray girl sways with the boy’s movements, to keep her balance before lunging at Scylla. Teeth aim to close around her long tail and give it a good yank before Fern would release, swiftly moving to change ground and leap atop the red boy. Turning to face her opponent once more, she grins happily. Oh yeah, this is fun!

Double decker attacking wolves baby! Bet you didn’t see that coming!


"Fern Lark"

With her first opponent down Gossamer turned her attention to the rest of the fighters, searching for another place to jump in. A distrested bark caught her attention as she saw two wolves getting after the red and black male (Saracyn) on her team. That wouldn't do. She sprang forward toward Cerberus' rear end, forming a perpendicular angle as she attacked his right thigh head-on. Gossamer attempted to throw her chest into the center of the horned man's right thigh hoping to strike with enough force to cause the other male to stumble and fall to his side. At the same time her jaws shot forward, seeking to cause lacerations to Cerberus' lower back, right between the hips.

The gathering erupted into chaos as the combatants were released upon each other. It was more reminiscent of a free for all than team vs team, and felt less cohesive even than a raid. Still, there was little more Albion needed to do than focus on his opponent. He and the older woman managed to keep more of a one on one battle as their comrades went for each other. The yearling was able to focus on the woman, his ghostly blue eyes wild as he slammed into her shoulder and initiated battle.

She took the hit and turned on him, her jaws flying towards his. Albion parried her attack with his own shark like bite, while his feline claws extending. He’d aim to also slash at her front legs with wicked claws. He wanted to win.

"Albion Klein"

The two would be equally as lethal, or well painful. They both had dangerous teeth as much as they may not have been trying to use them to the fullest. Cerberus certainly wasn't a coward, and a little even damaging bite wouldn't get him to back down.

Suddenly though everything became chaotic as the blue boy from his team jumped forward after Saracyn as well. That was fine with Cerberus, and gang up didn't make him feel any less powerful or left out. There wasn't any fame taken from him. Scylla took action on the blue boy as Saracyn called out for help. Cerberus chuckled lightly, should have been more of a man about it. Chade was thrown off by Scylla, and Fern still kept her attention on Scylla. Cerberus could barely tell what was going on at this point. That was until another wolf hit him at his thigh. His back paws fell out from under him for a few seconds as his grip fell off of Saracyn and he scrambled to get back up. He went to face off with the wolf that struck him but was already latched on to his back. He didn't waste any time before spinning his head around to bite at the large girl's ribs. It seemed they turned the fields into a mosh pit. Cerberus honestly couldn't even remember who was on his team anymore.

"Cerberus"

Chade felt a bit of satisfaction as Saracyn had to call out for help.  Admittedly, it Chade wasn’t a bit busy and thought on it he’d realize it made sense to call for help but he was a tad busy.  Another small form slammed into his rump causing Chade having to try and correct his balance.  He kept his grip on Sara’s leg but then let go a second later in surprise as he felt a far smaller wolf climbing on his back.  Chade rolled his eye back to look at her even as she bit into his neck.  So, this is what those bears felt like when he leaped upon their backs.

Chade was about to try his own rear up when suddenly another wolf leaped on his back!!  What the heck?  The other wolf was apparently one of his team though Chade’s head had been down when suddenly having that other weight unexpectedly land on him.  Still, it was apparently trying to get Scylla off.  

Regardless, Chade decided to let Fern and Scylla work things out.  If anyone was left on his back after a moment then they would have to deal with their world getting rocked.  Chade lunged back towards Saracyn, tensing his muscles before leaping up with his first-half off his body off the ground to try and bite the backside of the neck.  

"Chade"

His call for aid was answered by not one, but two of his teammates. After finding purchase with his serrated teeth in Cerberus' flesh, Saracyn felt something pull Chade's attention away from his back leg, and a brief glance backwards confirmed that Scylla had done the deed. Well, at least the squirrel girl was being useful. Turning his attention back to Cerberus, he was again surprised that the Armada wolf had also come to his aid, striking at the Fenmyrian brat from behind and taking his attention away from Saracyn. That left the Mendacium prince standing somewhat awkwardly amidst all these various scraps when he had just been the one taking the brunt of the assault. He looked around at the bedlam and mayhem around him, trying to get his bearings, then glanced up to his sister on the sidelines with a bewildered and confused look. What the hell was even going on anymore?!

All of a sudden, a weight was landing on top of him. He bore it with a grunt—whoever it was was thankfully pretty light—and glanced up over his shoulder to spot the gray girl riding him like he were some sort of horse. Wait... wasn't she on the opposing team? With the girl atop him, Saracyn snarled and threw his weight to the ground, bringing both himself and the other wolf to the earth. He finished his roll to land on his paws, swiftly rising to a pouncing position and leaping for Fern, paws aiming to grapple around her side while sharp fangs aimed for the soft flesh where her neck and shoulder met, intending to get her in a vicious grapple and pin to take her down fast. Serves her right for trying to stand on him like a table!

"Saracyn Mendacium"

Warning: Saracyn is an explicitly mature character for violent and sexual content. Read his threads with caution.
Saracyn's designated wolf to protect as a Bodyguard is Avacyn. She may enter his threads not marked as Private.
____________________

The fight was a tough one and it seemed like both sides got a decent amount of licks in, but right toward the end she saw Imperia bow out of the fight and that was enough to show a clear winner. She stood, raising a paw to get their attention as she called, "Alright! That's enough!" She waited for the scuffling to simmer down and the fight to break apart, motioning for the remaining competitors to divide back into their teams. It was pretty obvious who the winner was with three remaining on one team and four remaining on the other, but for formality's sake she pointed to the team containing Fern, Cerberus, Albion, and Chade and said, "We have our winners! Congratulations! Thank you to everyone who participated. That was an amazing fight to watch and certainly wrapped up our festival with a bang!" She hopped down from the ledge she was standing on and fetched the prizes for each of them. She passed off small bags containing a cluster of gems and a couple of vials of special pain relieving extracts that Irilyth had prepared for her to each of the winners with an extra congratulations to each of them as she handed them off.

Due to not posting in the allotted time, Imperia has been knocked out!
