Bambi
*The forest was tranquil, long branches spanning wide, blocking sunlight from hitting the dark ground below. Birds could be heard singing, then suddenly fell silent. An eerie calm fell upon the area, and the sudden slam of hooves and footsteps echoes throughout the wildness. A young boar, not quite in its prime, squealed. It seemed quite big, with bony tusks and humped shoulders, showing the amount of might behind it. What could possibly cause one of the dangers of the woods to run like this?*

*The clanking of steel can be heard, as a massive armored beast gives chase, along with 4 large wolves. The pack hunts down the beast, until one of its legs gets caught on a bramble. The smell of blood fills the air as sharp claws and teeth as hard as steel rip and tear at the boar's throat. Food had been found.*

"Good job, guys. We have dinner tonight. Of course, if you want some."

*One of the wolves would run against his leg, and a large, gauntleted hand would pet it.*
Richard
The tree line would be thin as it laid in between the thick branches and bunches of leaves, leaving nothing but spots on the ground. Alex would stay sitting on the ledge of a small wooden fort he had made high from the ground, with it wrapping around multiple trees for walkways and places to sleep. His legs would drape over as he looked down at the strange events going down not far below him.

The wood would stay silent as his thick leather boots would press against the oak, pushing himself up to a normal stand position. He took a small step back and ran 2 steps as he jumped off the ledge onto a nearby thick tree branch.

"Wonder what they're doing..." He whispered as his voice was somewhat raspy.
Bambi
*Unaware that he was being watched, the beastkin strolled over to a nearby fallen branch, slashing at it with his claws, turning a sturdy limb into small pieces of kindling. From those, he crushed some, creating tinder. Alex would be able to see the armored figure create a large spit on which to roast the pig, after removing it of its hair. No one wanted to eat that.*

*One of the wolves would bark though, its teeth bared back. It had smelled something other than cooking meat. Anro arose suddenly, his claws extending once again as he sniffed the air. And sure enough, he could smell a human.*

"I smell you, and my pack smells you. Show yourself."
Richard
A hooded figure with his eyes hidden, would fall down from the tall forest tree branch silently. His armor would be dirty and the ends of the hood would be tattered, he'd be looking at the pack 1 by 1, scanning his environment making sure he knew where every single one was. He knew they couldn't all be here, and there were likely a few hidden in the woods around him. 

He would lean against the base of the tree as he crossed his right ankle over his left, crossing his arms as well. His hood would remain on, covering most of his face. His body would be large and his shoulders wide, making it obvious he was in good shape. He would pop his neck effortlessly and without his hands, he would then look at the one that had told him to reveal himself.

"Interesting..." He had said without any more rasp lingering in his voice.
His facial expression from what was visible would show that he was cautious and wasn't being too hasty.
Bambi
*A dark shadow descending from the trees, revealing a...*

*....Fit human, who was wearing a cloak.*

*This was it? He had expected maybe a bounty hunter, which this guy may as well be. Though, he probably would have tried to attack first. The 4 wolves would emerge from the undergrowth, sniffing the air at the newcomer.*

"Hold it, boys. He doesn't seem too big of a threat."

*Anro seriously didn't think this human would be a big threat. Not only was he armored, he had strength on his side. Beastkin were known to be at least twice as strong as normal Macen.*

"So, what are you here for? You a bounty hunter? Adventurer? Wanderer?"

*The Canifor would cross his arms, showing that he was a bit careless at the moment. His wolves though, stood at attention.*
Richard
He would uncross his arms as he lightly pushed off the tree, doing a squat with his legs pointed opposite directions, doing some simple stretches in the armor. It would lightly rattle as he now took account for the new wolves with him, he would quickly assess their power levels and rank them based on who to take out first.

"I'm none of those, guess you could say I'm a murderer." He said as he thought about whether to attack yet or not, accounting for risk and reward of the situation. He came to a decision not to long after he had assessed the situation, he would wait it out until he had a reason to attack.

He would turn his head to the grunts closest to him. Even though you couldn't see his eyes it would seem like he had daggers in his eyes.

He would begin to stretch his arms now, he didn't know if he needed to attack yet or not so he prepared.
Bambi
*Seeing the man stretching while having 4 wolves and a Beastkin in the proximity told Anro to not take this guy seriously. It seemed doubtful that he could really do any damage. The wolves begin to move closer to the roasting pig and blazing fire, skin beginning to crisp up.*

"A murderer? That's an interesting job. I can see how some people would enjoy that."

*The Canifor would drag a large log near the pig, sitting down, as well as taking a stick to poke at the flames. It seems like he's quite lax at the moment.*

*All the wolves seemed to be paying a little less attention, their eyes slightly wandering towards the roasting pig, sniffing the air with delicious smells. All the wolves seemed to be the same size, though they differed in color. One was white, one was black, and the other two were lighter and darker shades of silver.*
Richard
Seeing the wolves not taking him seriously he thought whether or not this was his chance, he could either slaughter most of them or not take them seriously either. He decided this was his chance now and rushed the black wolf as he was closest too him, taking both of his daggers out as he rushed, he would be a small target moving faster then most regular people.

"Shouldn't have dropped you're guard." He said as he ran behind the black would, putting a knife to the front and back of his throat as he kicked the back of the wolfs knees to get him down to his level.

His stance would be professional and his technique was honed. He would keep himself behind the wolf as he kept him in a deadly hold.

"Now, this is starting to get interesting right?" He laughed as he said this.
Bambi
*As the man rushes towards the black wolf, it would simply do nothing as blades are held against its throat and back. It simply let out a bark, still sitting down. The others soon come to attention, teeth bared.*

*Anro himself would stand up, seemingly annoyed. And here he thought he was going to have a nice dinner with his wolves.*

"Well well, seems like you take 'murderer' to heart. Keep this in mind. That wolf? That's a summon. And I'm a bounty hunter."

*Two sets of claws suddenly pop out from the beastkin's gauntlets, and he stands up.*

*White wolf is 2 meters west of Anro. Dark Silver wolf is 2 meters west and 2 meters north of Anro. Light Silver wolf is 2 meters east of Anro. Black wolf is 2 meters east 2 meters north of Anro. Cooking fire will be ignored for now.*
Richard
He would remove the knife from the back of the black wolves throat, keeping the front dagger pressed against his adams apple region. He would stab him in the back 3 times until the enemy fell to the floor as he sheathed his daggers and used Spider Climb to scale the tall trees, while rotating slowly to keep cover from any projectiles.

He would be concealing his presence exceptionally well in exception to his scent, which could be easily found through the human smell resonating from him.

He would yell out the words, "Fate is written by the gods, isn't it?" He said as he scaled the trees looking down at the wolves.

Bambi
*Oh boy. This Macen just made a big mistake. He didn't kill the wolf in one blow. And he attacked his wolves.*

*As soon as the black wolf feels the dagger enter its back, it immediately turns around, biting at its attacker, aiming to sink its teeth into Alex's stabbing arm, and not letting go.*

*As the black wolf lashes out, the other wolves are prepped and ready. They all charge immediately, sprinting at 13 m/s at the Macen. Anro charges himself up as well, and the wolves bite at the Macen, their speed allowing them to easily gain ground onto Alex before he can finish stabbing. If he somehow makes it to the tree line, the wolves marked in yellow and black bite down hard onto his calves. If Alex was still held back by the wolf marked in green, wolf marked in black would go for his left arm, while wolf marked in yellow would go for his right calf, teeth hopefully sinking into flesh.*

*The wolf marked in red would charge as well, but Anro would arrive first. Veins glowing red, he takes off, a charging mass of steel hurtling at the relatively smaller Macen. If Alex has managed to fight off his wolves and made it to the tree, Anro would leap at him and attempt to claw at his shoulders, hooking his claws into them, or his calves if he was too high. If Alex didn't make it to the tree, then Anro would simply stab his shoulders using his claws, and if Alex was held down, then Anro would grab his left leg and sink his right claws into the back of his knee.*

```Anro casts The Chase (Fleet Footwork) 15 mana spent, 2.5 regained, 7.5/20 remaining.
Scenario 1: Alex is held back by the wolf he stabbed, which bites his right stabbing arm, or his left if he stabs with that one. The other wolves charge and bite Alex's other limbs besides his left leg, which Anro grabs and sinks his claws into.
Scenario 2: Alex somehow escapes the grip of the wolf marked in green and runs towards a tree. Wolves and Anro use speed to close in the distance, and wolves bite at his calves while Anro stabs at his shoulders using claws, or calves if Alex is already partially up the tree.```
Richard
Alex would pull a risky move and take out his scythe as he swung it at the black wolfs head, chopping it off completely, he's gotten himself into a dire situation now. He now rested the scythe against the ground as he stabbed the wolves multiple times in the neck with the 2 daggers.

He would use Touch Of Restoration on his deep calf wounds, sealing the wound but not fully returning them to their original state. He would let the 2 dagger stay inside dead wolf bodies, as the total 3 laid in front of him. He gasped for air at the sudden turn of events, he would now stand in a battle stance, scythe in hand waiting for Anro to make the first move.

"Fate is written out by the gods." He said as he closed his eyes, closing up his stance into a standing praying position, scythe still in hand, he would have his 2 leather boots together while his stance would be solid. He would then open his eyes facing Anro waiting for the next move.
Johnnie
*Alex would be able to get a single stab into the black wolf before it's head did a 180 and snapped at his dagger arm. Given the spacing between himself and the wolf, he wouldnt be able to pull his right forearm back from being snapped at by the canine teeth; there was simply no time to react, and no space to pull out his scythe. Because of this counterattack by the black wolf, it gave the other two wolves time to close in for an attack on Alex. Alex would struggle to get up, only a moment being spared as the two wolves caught him running towards a tree in hopes to climb it. He'd be halted by one of the wolves coming in to bite viciously at his right leg, the teeth sinking in and taking a chunk of flesh out of the man's calf. The other wolf, however, would miss its mark and instead ram itself into Alex's shoulder, knocking him down to the ground where it meant to bite at him.*

*Without the wolves to enable the situation to happen, things would definitely have gone completely different. For one, Anro probably wouldn't have Alex at his mercy as the claws sunk into the fallen Alex's deltoid and shoulder. Bleeding from all different areas now, Alex was faced with two wolves at his legs, Anro on his chest, and no obvious means of getting out of the situation. It was safe to say that he was in a pinch, and there wasn't a way he could get out of it.*
Bambi
"You chose the wrong person to do this. If 'murderer' is your job, I thought you would have done better."

*The other two wolves run towards Alex's arms, biting down on his forearms and not letting go. The wolves that were at his legs would continue to latch on, essentially holding him spread eagle. Anro would use his left claw to sink even deeper into the macen's deltoids, then ripping them out and stabbing them again into the crook of his elbow, on the same arm. Meanwhile, his right hand would raise up, and the claws would sink themselves directly into the 'murderer's groin, inevitably causing immense pain, probably screaming.*

*If Alex somehow escaped from the grip of the wolves and began running with his back turned, Anro would use his claws and stab the back of his knees. If Alex escaped the wolves' grip but was still on the ground, Anro would instead grab both of his hands, such that he wouldn't be able to let go of his daggers, and force the metal blades into his shoulders.*
Richard
*Alex would grunt as all of the attacks went into him at once, he would close his eyes as he thought in this dire situation. He would slowly get onto a sitting position on his knee's, even dropping his arms which would tear out large portions of his forearms, he was aware of the risk in this situation as he say with his palms flat against his thighs now covered in blood.*

*He wouldn't make a single move until he spoke,* "It's clear that you are more capable then me." *He said as it was audibly clear that he was trying hard to not lose anymore blood then he had already.*

*His hood still covering the top half of his face made it hard to see what he was looking at or what he was planning. The only thing that was sure is that he meant what he had said. It was clear that he knew what he was doing was risky and dangerous to himself, though he didn't seem to care.*
Bambi
*As Alex attempts to get up, Anro opens his hand up and slams his chest using his palm, forcing the macen back onto the ground. The canifor would then mount him, preventing him from getting up.*

"Of course I am."

*The wolf holding Alex's right arm would let go, instead moving towards the left arm. If any form of resistance was met, the wolf would pin the arm down using its legs. Anro bends the murderer's fingers backwards, breaking them. The same was done on the other hand.*

*Once that was done, Anro would bend both his knees backward as well, assuming he faced no resistance, effectively crippling him for the time being. If successful, he would rip off whatever cloak, robe or shirt he had and use it to wrap around his wounds. Then, he would bring out a pair of shackles and manacles, chaining them around Alex's wrists and ankles. The canifor would also search him, removing every single weapon from his person.*

"Seems interesting. Useless for me, though."
Richard
*Alex being thrown down would make the hood covering his face fall backwards onto the blades of grass that he was pinned against. His face would be blank as his body went numb from the blood loss, his face was somewhat well put together with a nice jawline and deep ocean blue eyes.*

*He wouldn't put up any fight to their meddling of his body, as long as his arms work he can still try and make amends with the strange creatures around him.*

"Do whatever you want."

*He said this softly as he attempted to fight off fainting from the blood loss. The grass and dirt around his injuries would now begin to soak in a red pool of blood as he laid bleeding there while the wolves did their business. His eyes would jolt back awake as his fingers snapped, but he wouldn't make any noise, he would just watch all of this happen. Next his knee's bent backwards, he didn't make a noise, just watched what was happening with the little he could see with the main wolf on top of him.*

*His expression was blank as he stared into the eyes of the leader of the pack, watching as his grunts did the work.*

"I have no intention of fighting anymore."

*His eyes would close and he would just listen, to the birds, the leaves, the loud heavy footsteps of the wolves, and the breathing of the leader on top of him, all being part of his fate, he accepted what was happening because he knew it was meant to happen, it was meant to happen for his progression, it was written out so that he could get stronger, he knew this all because of his trust in fate.*

*His expression turned into a faint smile, as his eyes stayed closed.*
Bambi
*Making sure that his bandages were nice and tight, he uses a nearby tree to produce some fibers and rope, or vines if any are nearby. Eventually, he would have created a large harness, meant for the wolves, but hangs him upside down from a tree first.*

"Obviously. Not like you could, anyway."

*Anro didn't immediately leave the area. Instead, he chose to enjoy the roasted boar he had started cooking earlier with his pack. Soon, it was picked clean, with only bones and some organs remaining.*

*Afterwards, he would tie the harness to the wolves, and they began to run out of the forest, dragging the macen along the forest floor.*

*Once they were out into civilization, Anro took his manacled opponent, and used the rope for the harness of the wolves to tie him to the roof of a building. Taking the manacles, he would leave him there to hang from his ankles, looking at his work.*
Richard
*He would hand upside as blood rushed to his head, making him look as if he had a fever.*

"Could you at least let me heal the wounds of your guys in exchange for me to sit normally?" 

*He said as he was clearly already tired of having to hand upside down, his head was pounding like he was getting hit in the head repeatadly with a hammer. His tone was somewhat annoyed as he had his hands in front of him, slowly healing one finger at a time, starting with his thumb. His thick long hair would hang down as it swung slightly with every movement.*

"It's the least you could do for me."

*He said politely this time, he was already trying to make friends after stabbing them multiple times, he would then stare at the various wounds he had inflicted spread across the wolves, a few backstabs and scythe injuries.*
Bambi
"Don't you know? These guys are summons. They're tougher than normal wolves. If they die, I can bring them back."

*The wolves' injuries wouldn't be much, only a knife wound on the black wolf, since they had successfully rushed him before he could do much. To prove his point, the black wolf would disperse into mana, and a magic circle would appear, and another, identical, black wolf would appear.*

"I don't need any healing for these guys."

*As a note, Alex's weapons are still in the forest.*

"Now, what do you with you?"
Richard
"1st option is you let me down and I just relax. 2nd option is that I chew through the vines that are holding me and I just relax."

*He said this politely as he focused on healing his fingers, he now had both thumbs and both pointer fingers healed. He now started healing both middle fingers.*

"Bonus option, I get myself down and crawl away."

*He said as he closed his eyes and focused hardly on his fingers healing and his surroundings, making sure that he was able to use his hands at some point soon was important to him. As he himself was as still as a statue his hair wouldn't move, the vine hanging him wouldn't swing. His fingers would heal faster now that he wasn't wasting any of his energy somewhere else.*
Bambi
"Cutting you down would take energy not worth spending. Unless I use you as a punching bag. Or just leave. Do know that the way I have you tied up, it's impossible to get your mouth near."

*The way Alex would be tied up is the following. His arms are behind his back, his forearms bound tightly together. The vines would also wrap around his neck as well, tight enough to stay on, barely not choking him, connecting his arms to his neck. His legs would be completely tied together, unable to separate in any way, the vines going from his thighs to his ankles. Another vine traveled from his ankles to the back of his neck, preventing his neck or head from moving.*

"Just a murderer tied up with vines."
Richard
"How about this, you cut the basic vine down, keeping the one restricting my movements. That way I can't beat the shit out of you."

*He said this legitimately as he opened his eyes to look down at him.*

"Who knows, you might even make an ally out of me."

*He said this as he was close to successfully healing all of his fingers, besides both of his dorsal digit fingers. His face would be a blank expression as he looked at him, normally people would be somewhat frightened by this face, but he knew this fighter wouldn't. Instead he used this as a chance to show that he's being legitimate about his offer of becoming an ally. This offer would be risky as he might be seen as weak for trying to side with him, or it would show that he was mentally and physically capable of becoming a strong ally to the pack leader.*

*This chance was a 1 and only, so he took it. He didn't care about a reputation or what the wolf thought of him, just that he gained out of this situation, that was his only goal.*
Bambi
*.....Seriously? An ally? Anro didn't need an ally, much less a fool in his pack. There wasn't any room for the weak. Instead, Anro simply slices the main rope, which only drops the Macen down on the ground, directly on his head. The Canifor would simply leave with his wolves, Alex still being tied up.*
