Brisa blinked confused at the boar-man. 

“No I”  She shook her head.  “I can't help” she said softly.  She didn't just mean the boar man but the others either.  She couldn't fight.  She couldn't even figure out how to be useful; and she knew she would be in the way, tripping her friends more likely than not.  

[i]Useless.  Completely useless.[/i]

Those words chased through her mind as she watch Argurios and Aiden move to join Jatan in the fight.  There were frog-men everywhere.  Coming out of the background like a plague of locusts.  Only way worse.  And here she was staring at them like an idiot. 

That shook her a little.  She hated being an idiot.  

[i]focus[/i] 

She had to focus.  That was the first thing.  She didn't  have much to work with; rocks, mud, rain, a sharp stick...she couldn't figure out how any of those would be particularly useful at the moment.  Her eyes fell on the cape lying on the ground, thrown there by the boar man when he rushed to the fallen girl.  

It was a dumb plan, but it was better than nothing.  A desperate plan.  

“I need to borrow this” she called over her shoulder as she scooped it up.  “Take something from our supplies to make us even” she said.  Her words were almost lost as she was running now.  She didn't think about the fact she had just given a stranger free reign to rummage through their belongings and take...well...everything...if he so desired.  She had only one focus now and didn't slow as she approached the knot of fighting that was her friends and the group of frog-men.  Later, if she lived, she would ponder the presence of so many bipedal animal beings.  Frog men, boar men, what was next...deer men?  Now though the key was survive. 

She piled into the fray, cape in front of her, and simply jumped like a squirrel on the back of the nearest frog-creature throwing the cape over it's head and hanging on.  Her head close to its she gave the same ear-splitting whistle she had earlier, hoping that being so close to it the sound would confuse it even  more.
