Raffy couldn’t help but smirk at her companions as they faced this threat head on – what jokes. While they distracted the hellish dogs, the redhead had slipped off the horse with her cowl and hood on and retreated into the darkness. That wasn’t enough, of course, to stop their noses and so she smeared ash all over her body to mask her scent, her black armor became grey. Then, she started to throw her daggers. They zoomed through the air, only the reflecting light a sign of them coming as they slit the throats of the creatures, severing their tendons and pouring blood unto the ground. Another one of her blades pierced the skull of one and a yelp escaped it. Raffy didn’t know the level of their intelligence and so she was constantly moving in the shadows, melding and twisting in one until her daggers were flying in every one direction. But her tactic could only last so long…

Without her noticing, one of those insufferable creatures had crept behind her and it was only when she heard the low growling that she leapt from the shadows, becoming visible for her enemy to see. The thing jumped after her and snapped its jaws, she ducked into a roll to dodge it and when she pressed her heels into the dirt to stop herself, it took that moment and closed its fangs around her arm, its saliva burning through her armor and searing her skin. Raffy hollered in agony and lost her balance, landing harshly on her back. The creature mounted her and dragged its head side to side, jerking her arm painfully. With her new position, she had only one advantage and that was her legs. She drew them up close to her chest and began to push against the creatures stomach, shaking her feet so her hidden daggers peeked through her shoes and drove them into the stomach of the beast. It fell down dead.

“Damnit.” Raffy cursed, holding her limp arm. Well, now she had to use one…oh well, she’s been through worse.
