Deluge might have been aiming to lock antlers, but the more experienced wolf turned her head to catch the yearlings shoulder with her own thorny head protrusions. As her opponent reached out to swipe at her paws, the girl stumbled forward with her jaws opened wide, partially in shock, but also aiming to grab the thick fur and loose skin around the other wolfs ruff (with an aim to hold and not to pierce or tear). If she managed to gain some purchase, she would push with all her might to try and force the other fighter to the ground. Of course, there was always every chance she would miss, and face plant much as her mother just had against her previous adversary.

You couldn't kill me if you tried She had succeeded in throwing off her opponents balance, though now there was the matter of Deluge's jaws coming for her. Tel had plenty of longer fur to grab, but with that came the potential for her opponents to grab more hair than they did skin. She continued her movement forward as she sought to use her body to knock into Deluge, the younger girls teeth finding purchase in the longer tufts of fur (and feathers from her swan armor), though Tel was easily able to slip out of her grasp with a swift jerk of her head. As Deluge aimed to push against her, Tel used her position to use that push from her opponent, allowing it to create just a bit of distance between them so she had room to lower her head, and then she sought to drive her antlers beneath the other girl's stomach. She was hopeful that with a final push forward and upward, she could lift her younger opponent harmlessly with her own antlers, and send her upwards and away from her, essentially sending her flying the other way with the compromised balance and surprise!

Amorielle Adravendi

She was so late! She had been nowhere near where the raiders were approaching when she heard the call. She had been digging up roots in the next couple of territories over when she heard the distant howl, and then her own companion had frantically flown to get her. She had immediately stopped what she was doing, leaving her collecting bag and the roots she had dug up and raced to try and make it in time. The world around her was a blur as the woman ran through trees, puddles, and careened through bushes, leaping Valhalla's wall and nearly face planting on the other side before continuing her race to try and get there. By the time she did though, it seemed that Valhalla was definitely not on the winning side. Out of breath, she did not stop as she frantically looked around, watching as Tel fell away from one of the Pirates. Muddied and looking like she had just crawled out of a hole, she zeroed in on a purple woman. Aiming her course towards the purple pirate, Amorielle raced in towards the woman's left flank, looking to barrel her body straight into the woman's hindquarters (left side of Modesty) in an effort to throw off her balance while her jaws opened and aimed to grab onto the left hind leg in a bid to take it with her, never once stopping her full on run as she tried to bring the larger woman down. Though her attempt at helping so late in the fray might do little, she could at least try, right?

Modesty had managed to find her feet after her last battle but had since been so caught up watching Deluge fight (she certainly didn't get that from her) that the smaller woman propelling into her hip went entirely uncontested. The dire wolf turned last moment, but with the size discrepancy between them, it may as well have looked like she was chasing her own tail. Teeth clacked in retaliation against open air until finally the larger wolf tripped over her own feet, her enormous weight crashing towards the smaller woman in slow motion. In the back of her mind, she could only hope her opponent would end up walking away with a few newly acquired quills.

I think you got it twisted. When I told you to kiss it.

VALHALLA

PIRATES PLUNDER has no more wolves to fight and has lost the raid.

Sparrow knew a losing battle when she saw one. She had knocked her opponents out, but they were a day late and a member short. She needed to let the kids know when to disengage. She barked a few times to get their attention above the chaos, "That's it, kids, fight's over, skedaddle on home now- that's an order!" She sent Pongolo around to make sure to relay the message to anyone who was being too slow about it. She followed behind last, making sure the kids were ahead of her and out of the fray. She turned to the members of the formidable back and with a sloppy smile, bid them a nod before she turned tail to get back home.
