Things were looking bad and worse for Donny as he weakly tried to fend off the wolves as best as he could. His back was against the wall, only one of the wolves were incapacitated, and the alpha was still kicking. Donny hoped that maybe he could get a luck shot off the big one, but he was wisely staying back to let his underlings weaken Donny. He was about to make a suicidal charge for the dire wolf when suddenly a stranger came to help him. Certainly not a regular woodsman; any local would at least have a axe or a dagger handy. This girl came in swinging a branch, and not even a very big one. But she wasn't alone and soon more joined her, helping however they could with sticks or stones. Donny would've felt embarrassed having his saviors being armed so crudely, but right now he couldn't complain about getting help. The wolves seemed just as surprised as Donny was at the back up, one of them even turning against the pack. Donny didn't question this strange reaction from the beast and stood up with the help of a torch-wielding stranger. [color=firebrick]"Thank you. We have to take out the dire wolf! If he flees so will the rest of the pack. Here take this!"[/color] Donny handed the torch-bearer his shortsword, fending off overs until he could get to the other side of the battlement where the boy tossing pebbles was at. [color=firebrick]"Seriously, pebbles? I hope you know how to use this!"[/color] Donny dropped his shortbow and arrows at the boy's feet just as a wolf lunged at the two of them. Donny caught the wolf and blacked it's bite with the shaft of his shovel, shoving it back to give them some space. [color=firebrick]"Aim for the big one! DORIYAAA!"[/color] Donny charged right for the dire wolf who seemed to be anticipating the attacks. He lunged right at him, but the wolf dodged Donny easily and swiped with his claws. This in turn put Donny on the defensive, but now he had the wolf's attention, hopefully giving everyone else an opening to land some solid blows. [@akirashadow][@Azure Flame]
