(HP: 24/30)<br/><br/>A warning growl-<br/><br/>Arisa had a moment - Just a moment - to think...<em>What?</em>...as she half-turned...And then the wolf came crashing down onto her, snapping and slavering! She didn't pause to consider the impossibility of it, as she snatched her sword...Her blade shimmering in the light, as it carved the air! The creature's fangs gashed her arm, and she reeled back - But when it flung itself at her, she swung, hard...<br/><br/>-It was one of the stuffed creatures she'd seen, impossibly alive!<br/><br/>"Nnnngh-!" Her shield came up - She checked a step, as it slammed into her...But Arisa brought her sword around in a great, cleaving arc, her silver blade shearing into the creature's side-! She drove forward, slashing her blade out to finish the stroke, hissing in pain-<br/><br/>And then the creature hit the ground, the form already changing, already warping...Becoming - Something half-man, half-wolf?<br/><br/>"A werewolf?" The lovely Paladin murmured, almost to herself - Her chest heaving with the shock of the fight! She took a step forward, wary - Had she killed the thing? How *long* had it been waiting there, in this room...? She kept her shield up, her gaze fixed on her opponent...To see if it was about to lunge at her again!
