The summons for a raid went out and Ruse very quickly pulled on her armor while whistling for her mastiffs. It took her a moment to put together the buckles and straps that held on the alligator skin armor and bracers since she so seldomly used it, but the moment she was ready she hurried to go join the fight. Even though fighting hadn't been her first love she was very much Chimera and Dalila's daughter and the apple didn't fall too far from the tree. As she neared where the sounds of fighting had begun to kick up, she spotted a nearly black coated man seemingly trying to move deeper into their territory past where some of her pack members had begun to clash with theirs. She bounded over and cut him off, giving the man a grin. "You look a little lost, friend. The party is back that way." With that she didn't waste any more time and she made a leap toward him to try and close the distance between them while bringing up her right forepaw to attempt to swipe the sharp talons attached to her bracer that was fitted over her paw across the front of his shoulder. Meanwhile her mastiffs began to move into position, circling around so that both of them were on either side of her opponent, ready to jump into the fight at her signal.

"Rusalka Alondra Klein"

Apparently the attraction of their pack being raided didn't end with the change of name and management. They were summoned to join the fight and yet again he found himself sighing with resignation as he untangled from Satiria. "How does this always happen?" he muttered with a bit of a chuckle as he pulled on his armor and bracers. If it wasn't so inconnvinent and annoying he'd almost find it funny. Regardless, once he and Satira were kitted up and ready to go they ran toward the border to join in on the fight. When they arrived it looked like several skirmishes had already begun to break out here and there as the Obscura members began to filter in. His golden gaze danced over their opponents for a moment as he looked for an opening and one stood out simply because the movement of going around the back of the crowd and trying to sneak off deeper into the territory was different enough to draw his attention. He bounded over to cut off the dark coated man that was splashed with various colors, giving him a smirk. "Leaving so soon?" He charged in before the man could answer and attempted to slam his chest into the other wolf's left shoulder, taking advantage of the spikes built into the front of his chest plate while trying to use his larger size and slightly bulkier weight to start pushing the man back away from the falls.

"Cináed"

As was her usual habit, Inferno hung back to guard the group's flank as they all made their way out on their raid, letting any eager young hotheads who wished to take point where they'd have the whole party's eyes on them in case trouble came from that way. Luckily though trouble didn't find them from any direction and they made the trek without incident, all coming together for a moment to receive Calliope's last minute directives before their raid leader let out a howl and led the charge into enemy (albeit temporary) territory. Inferno paced herself as the raiding party scattered into their own skirmishes and some of the sneakier members sought to make a more stealthy run on the enemy resources, only to get caught and fall into battle. Inferno had no illusions as to the sneakiness of her own flame colored brindle or the mahogany-and-brass of her armor regardless of the subdued darkness of her base coat, so she made no effort to hide as she strode through the two opposing groups, now intermingled in battle. Her mismatched eyes swept back and forth impassively, seeking out an opponent and watching over her packmates, so many of them so young.

Oops, looks like he'd been seen! The call from the Obscuran man sends Scald's heterochromatic gaze flitting over to the larger fiery coated figure. He gets little time to react, to even respond, before the thicker build of Cinaed is barreling toward him. Spikes and shoulder come aiming for his shoulder, but unlike his opponent, he has speed on his side. Though the spikes graze the outside of his shoulder, Scald manages to jump aside at the last moment. Out of breath and surprised at the strength, he twirls on his heels to quickly face Cinaed's rear end before the man has a chance to turn around. Just as Cinaed is fully passing him by, Scald lungs forward and aims to bite at the back of Cinaed's left thigh. Scald Fallen

It took time to build up momentum when you came rolling in on a barrel, okay? So, it was no surprise that the others overtook him rapidly and he rolled in on the back side of the Raider's, almost literally in some cases! It was fortunate his barrel kinda tapered at the ends because it gave him some small amount of control over cornering and hey, he recognised this place! This was where that cute girl had pulled his tail... (and he'd farted in her face, but let's just gloss over that for now).

Tail waving hopefully, ears perked high on his head, he scanned the defenders for a familiar caramel coat. He hadn't spotted her yet, but where else could she possibly be?

"speech"

With an exasperated groan, Satira reluctantly broke her mouth away from Cináed's as the howls of the invaders echoed around the territory. Gods dammit all, again?! What was it with this pack always getting attacked? Ciná seemed equally displeased, though shrugged it off with a bit of humor as he began to untangle their bodies. "I dunno, but I'm getting reeeeal sick and tired of it," the little hybrid muttered as she rolled to her paws and climbed out of bed, snatching up her leather wristguards and testing the mechanical hidden blade in the one. Then she grabbed her medic bag and slung it around her neck as the pair of wolves ran out of their den at the top of the falls to join the fight.

Arriving at the scene of the battle, Tira hung back to assess the situation while Ciná went off to start his own fight. Blue eyes landed on two downed wolves, one of them their new fearless leader, and that was who Satira's attention was on. While the giant lady that had squished her was getting back up, Tira darted around through the throng of wolves and rushed up to Scylla's side, pulling out an energy boosting potion she kept for just such occasions, pulling the cork stopper out with her teeth and passing the bottle to the fallen alpha. "C'mon, there's more fighting to do," she said to Scylla with a lively grin. Once Scylla was back up, Tira's attention turned to the wolf that had bested her.

"Hey, you cotton candy bitch!" the wily wolf-dog called out to the giant woman to get her attention. Then it was game on. Using her small size, Tira charged for Calliope's side, tiny paws racing along the ground as she zipped to and fro to make herself a challenging target to hit. Tira aimed to strike at Calliope's hind leg, jaws seeking to latch down around her tibia while sharp feline claws on her paws extended and reached to dig into the soft flesh of the younger woman's inner thighs. Tira had brought down numerous dire wolves before and she knew their weak points were their soft underbellies.

"Satira"

Finally shaking the Sovereign free of her leg, Calliope blows her kiss before stepping away to face the battlefield. Around her, wolves from both sides engage in fights. Blood begins to spill and the sound of armor clashing together lights her body with excitement. This is what she lived for!

Before she could find an opponent herself, someone was calling out to her. Cotton candy bitch. Wow, how original! Wheeling around to face the wolfdog, Calliope's stare and canted head reveal a smirk as she lets out a chuckle. "I didn't realize they were letting the munchkins out of Munchkinland," she sneers back as the wolfdog comes darting toward her larger form.

Her pastel gaze follows the darting form of Satira as the very tiny creature successfully grabs ahold of her back leg. Sharp claws rake at her thigh and Calliope instinctually picks up her leg and begins to shake it forcibly in an attempt to toss Satira off of her. "What is with you tiny mutts and your sharp claws? You sure you're even a dog?" Calliope twists around with her jaws snapping at Satira if the small girl was still able to successfully stay attached to her leg.

Worc cawed, alerting Tarnish to a pretty woman who swiftly intercepted him. He grinned cheekily at her. "I think the party is wherever you are, sweetheart." Defenses set he sprang into action. He leaned sharply to his right as her right paws sailed toward his left shoulder. He moved swiftly but not swift enough to avoid the blades entirely as they clipped the outside of his left shoulder, leaving a light laceration. As his body leaned to his right his jaws lanced forward seeking to grab the front of her left foreleg with his jaws. He hoped to grab a hold and pull the limb towards himself before she got her right back on the ground. If he was lucky he could unbalance her.

Even though Ciná did manage to strike his opponent, the man did manage to dance to the side at the last moment and miss the worst of the blow. He didn't think they were all that different in height, but now that he was in close quarters with the man he realized he was a good bit slimmer in build and that came out in an extra bit of speed and dexterity on his opponent's part. Ciná's forward momentum held him up in turning around to face the Raider just long enough for Scald to bite into the back of his thigh, making Ciná wince and growl in response. On reflex, he immediately picked up his back, right paw and kicked backward at his opponent, aiming for the man's face but he'd be equally as happy if he managed to hit his neck or shoulder–anything to make him let go of his thigh. Luckily, his mastiff came running in to the rescue, the large dog bounding in with a loud bark and reaching to bite Scald's right foreleg in retaliation for biting his master.

"Cináed"

Kestrel grimaced. He had lost his armour pieces in the shipwreck - along with everything else to his name - and hadn’t had a chance yet to replace them. He felt oddly vulnerable, entering into the raid without it. Oh well, nothing he could do about it now. He stretched his body, feeling the familiar tightness around his neck spikes as he strolled forward.

There were plenty of fights breaking out around him, and he took a moment to take in the opponent wolves, and to see who remained. So far, it looked like most if not all were already engaged with the Raider wolves. Perhaps Obsucra still had more to field.


"Kestrel"

As Ruse lunged at the cheeky man with her paws outstretched, she quickly realized she hadn't factored in the possibility of him moving before she could land her paws on him. He dipped to the side, causing just one set of talons to catch on his shoulder and leave her partially in free fall. She quickly started to shift her weight to widen her stance on her hind legs to brace herself a bit more and bring her right leg down to catch herself. However, before she could touch down on the ground, she felt Tarnish's jaws grab her left foreleg, throwing off her landing even more. If it hadn't been for her efforts to right herself in those brief seconds between her attack and hitting the ground he might have been able to topple her, but luckily she was able to catch herself with three paws on the ground and a few slightly unsteady hops. With a scowl she pulled back against the tugging he was doing on her arm to try and pull him in closer so that she could reach for his muzzle to try and bite down around the top of his muzzle in the hopes that she could either scare him off from biting her foreleg or force him to let go with her own bite.

Tarnish snagged the woman's left foreleg in his jaws. Success! Well… kind of. He managed to grab her leg and pull but not soon enough. She managed to get her other leg down and re-stabalize her balance. Shoot. He saw her fangs shoot down toward his face. He swiftly let go and twisted his head up to try and counter, seeking to bite onto her nose. He wanted to snap down hard in an effort to cause bleeding and pain that would make her recoil. He wasn't interested in getting a hold, that could cause severe damage and he was trying to be reasonably well-behaved. As he fought he attempted to keep his defenses set, in particular keeping his ears pinned to his head and out of reach.

Aha, success! Satira managed to snag Calliope's leg in her jaw and felt the tear of skin beneath her claws as she latched on to the Raider's leg. Gravity shifted and shook as the dire lady tried to jar her loose, but Tira held on with all her might, refusing to relinquish her advantageous hold on her opponent. It was jarring and disorienting, but she managed to cling on. The giant bitch made some comment about tiny mutts and claws, then took a jab asking if Tira was even a dog. Hot rage flared up in Satira's heart, and the little wolf-dog responded by reaching up to swing sharp claws where Calliope's thigh met her groin now just inches away, seeking to scratch deep into her tender flesh.

Satira felt the snap of jaws on her back, earning a startled yip from the girl as she was bit, the lances of pain urging her rather unceremoniously off of Calliope's leg. Not wanting to keep getting bitten at, Tira retracted her claws and dropped from her opponent's leg to the ground, ducking low to make herself as small of a target for the much larger femme. Tira growled and took a few defensive swipes aimed at Calliope's snoot, but her real target was still her underbelly. "You're gonna regret saying that to this mutt!" Launching from the ground upward, Tira sought to rise up on her hind legs beneath the Raider and unleash a barrage of furious swipes and slashes from her claws all across Calliope's belly, caring little if she spilled blood or not. She just wanted to make her hurt for that dog remark.

"Satira"

Oh goody, a raid. Revenant had wondered how long it would take after rejoining his family for them to come under attack again. Turned out, it wasn't long at all. Ah, but the Klein brute didn't mind a fight; it had been far too long since he'd had a good one anyhow. And there was nothing like a vicious fight to light a fire in one's blood and make you feel alive! So when the call of the invaders went out, Rev casually left his den and crossed the pack lands at his own leisurely pace toward the battlefield. He'd get there when he got there.

Arriving at the skirmish, mismatched eyes scanned the fighting to see who had won, who had fallen, and who had yet to enter the fray. So far, none of his siblings had gone down, which was good. Eyes landing on a black and red woman that looked remarkably similar to one of his pack mates, Revenant skirted around the edges of the fight to make his way towards her, keeping his gaze laser focused as he prowled closer. Once he got within sprinting range, Revenant charged the Raider femme, aiming his shoulder towards her and seeking to throw his body into hers with all his might in a surprise attack. They were about the same size, so he knew speed and surprise were going to be his key to victory against her.

A snarl pulls Calico Jack’s attention to a monochrome man making his way through the erupting battlefield and the sword wielding man is quick to square up with them. They circle each other, the sword that he carries keeping the stranger at a distance as the calico wolf mockingly swings it from time to time while watching the stranger’s reaction. Lips peel back as he growls deeply, taunting the male to come and try to attack him when, suddenly, Jolly Roger screeches from the skies, alerting him to the dog that has that circled around behind him just as it leaps to try and grab at his leg.

A flash of blue and gold descends, wings flaring out as it attempts to deter the dog with talons and beak while Jack swiftly dodges to the side, avoiding the attack to his ankle. Another growl rolls past the hilt in his maw as he lunges forward suddenly, aiming to swing his sword toward the other wolf’s face while also trying to press the man back. He is here to fight and this pussyfooting around does nothing for his adrenaline. If the stranger refuses to go on the offensive, than the battle tested calico man is more than happy to do it. A grin tugs at the corner of his lips as he goes.

"Calico Jack"

Satira roused her from her dazed state and Scylla growled. "The big bitch fell on me." The slate and cream fae rose, shaking out her coat. The "big bitch" in question had already moved onto another opponent and Scylla snorted in annoyance. After nodding her thanks to Satira, she scanned the clearing for another opponent.

An older wolf, speckled in greys and browns, nipped at another of the intruders, a smile on her face. It was a smile that Scylla was hoping to wipe off.

Using the moment of distraction as the older wolf looked after her younger teammate, Scylla rushed in from the woman's left side. She aimed towards the fae's belly with her teeth, hoping to sink them into soft, tender flesh while nimble digits curled into the woman's fur to solidify her hold.

Cerberus had heard the call, and he waited outside of the battlefield for a good opportunity to run in. Cerberus was much more a think before you act kind of guy, and he was well practiced in raids. Not that he had been expecting this one.

As the fights broke out he watched to see who took action first, and soon there was still a few who were standing on the field. He would finally make his break for it. He was more looking for the even match, and he would find that with another larger male among the group. He couldn't know his capabilities but he was here so he couldn't be too much of a push over.

He came sprinting in past the commotion, and aiming to come head on, chest to chest, with an open jaw towards his scruff from his left side. It gave him plenty of time to think of his counter moves, and then they could have a more proper battle.

His teeth dig into Cina's thigh and he relishes at the coppery taste of blood for a moment. He wasn't usually this good at fights! Perhaps he really was learning after all. Too bad he takes too long to realize that he probably should've gone for a second attack sooner. Suddenly, a paw is launching at his chest, kicking him hard enough that his breath catches and he's forced to let go. In the commotion of his paws taking a step away, he doesn't notice the mastiff. Thankfully, his snake coompanion has. Sudden a loud hissing lights the air as the small snake unravels from the fur around his neck and strikes at the dog. Just enough warning to keep the dog from attacking again as Scald is able to slide his leg out of reach from the bite. "Jus' wanted a little taste," Scald coos as he lunges back toward Cinaed. Distracted by the companion commotion, he's not quite sure where his opponent is, but he lunges away. Teeth aimed for... anywhere. Scald Fallen

His search, it appeared, was in vain, but he wasn't left waiting for long. A red and black coated wolf with horns was moving toward him with purpose, time to get his feet back on the ground. His blue cattle dog intercepted the charge, and he shifted his weight to the right side of the barrel before leaping back and letting his paws do the work of kicking it towards the left flank of his opponent, with any luck it would pivot around and throw him off balance.

His dogs weren't big, and his opponent had 3 of his own, so he lowered his head and pushed his shoulders forward to protect his neck. If it was a head on brawl the other wolf wanted, Ken was keen. The other guy was a bit taller, but the yearling reckoned he had a bit of extra weight. He would try to use his lower center of gravity to throw his opponent to the side.
