During one of the quieter moments as the four of us traversed through the forest, we came up with some tactical manoeuvres in preparation for situations where we have to act quickly. One of these manoeuvres was 'Panther Claw'. This particular manoeuvres was created to enter a room with extreme prejudice. Not only would it allow us to optimise our own safety as we entered a possible hostile environment but it also gave us the strongest chance of being able to recognise any threat and incapacitate any that we find inside.
Operation Panther Claw works as follows. Jäger and Oakey take position on either side of the door with their bows at the ready. When the signal is given one of them opens the door and both look into the room and takes a shot at anything that looks like it will try to harm us. They then pull back out of sight to allow my to run into the room with Loral close behind me. This causes me to take the brunt of any dangers that are in the room which with my armour and Loral's healing should easily keep in check. Oakey and Jäger then swoop in behind us taking a side each and shooting arrows at anything trying to flank Me and Loral.
Panther claw was pulled off perfectly but rather than being met by a pack of hungry, blood thirsty wolves we were instead taken off guard by only one wolf. Not the one we saw scarper into here bu instead by a wolf that stretched over ten feet long and as tall as a man if were to have been standing. His fur was as black as a moonless night's sky and his eyes were glowing a crimson red.
He looks at us with his unnatural and shudder inducing eyes and growls a single sentence that rumbled deep and menacingly.
"Who disturbs me?"
I kept my great sword raised and my courage was bolstered knowing I had two very capable archers either side of me. I told him who we were and that he was to leave. He confirmed that Oakey was indeed correct. He did recognise the wolf earlier and now this large and evil wolf had become all the more upset with us. Not only was one of us responsible for killing the majority of his pack but here we were telling him he had to leave his home. I could understand why he was upset but he had no right to taint this once holy of places even further with his evil presence. The large wolf surprised me twice that day. First, I was surprised to find a giant evil wolf that could talk but I was surprised again to discover it could be reasoned with. That was when we made a deal.
