Carissa had managed to.land a telling blow on the Jerren Outrider and cut its head in half. It fell off in a heap with a wordless flap of its tongue as it had no upper jaw. She had slain her combatant but she wasn't alone in killing these vile thieves.<br/><br/>Shouting over the din came another war cry from her squire as her blade found its mark and slaying the other rider with a quick swing. This was followed by a sudden yelp of pain from one of those small ones and the Captain laughed as the other rider was thrown off its wolf mount and tumbled into a heap on the ground bleeding but still moving. It swore loudly determined to keep fighting as the wolves could still help the riders win this fight.<br/><br/>It never got the chance as the diminutive green woman suddenly pounced on him, a short curved sword in her hand and she had skewered him in the heart. She lands stradding the lap and then tumbled off his lap onto her feet. Her eyes kept on the wolves as they growl and move about with no riders but we're ready to fight.<br/><br/>They began pouncing at them, leaping up over the horses to try and bit into their riders. It was clear these beasts had been trained to fight without their riders. Fortunately the three soldiers training came to bear and they guides their horses about to avoid the danger.<br/><br/>But where were the other in this ambush party? There was supposedly five to six riders... The sound of yipping and braying howls coming from the wilds gave an answer. Reinforcements were coming soon and with these wolves still ready to battle, they'd have to hurry lest they be outnumbered.
