Lance is taken aback as the stranger hands him a sword, why was this guy carrying this around anyway?  Lance takes a moment as his looks at the blade, such a strange choice of weapon.  He runs the tip of one of his fingers against the edge instantly cutting it open as he quickly withdraws it and sucks on the freshly caused wound.  [color=0072bc]"Jeez that's sharp, this guy's a loony..."[/color] Lance mumbled to himself.

He didn't exactly have time to spare however as the stranger charges at the largest wolf in the pack inciting the others to do the same. With a sigh and shake of his head, Lance heeds the call as he avoids engaging with the smaller wolves in the pack heading straight for the Alpha's flank.  As the stranger had the beast's attention, it allowed an opportunity as Lance tried to strike at the creatures side.  The blade however barely broke the creatures skin though the dripping blood proved it had done something as he drops the torch to the ground, kicking it over to the beasts hind paws as he pushes his now second free hand against the hilt trying to force the blade deeper into the wolf's abdomen.

His less than subtle strike however was now beginning to re-divert the wolf's attention as it turned its head growling angrily at its would be attacker. [color=0072bc]"he..heheh."[/color] Lance nervously smiles before doubling his effort pushing his full weight into the sword as he tries to get a secure footing on the ground, hoping the stranger would drag the wolfs attention back to himself.
