The effect of Viri's spell was immediate on the ninja, and she began to pick up speed and run further away from the oncoming threat. A quick glance behind the pair would make it obvious, though, that despite their speed the wolf pack was still coming hot on their heels. A fight was inevitable at this point, yet, but at least they could get to an ideal location for the fight before getting surrounded.

"Viri, play it same. We're going to be flanked from all sides once we get into position, so drop as many barriers and buffs as you can in the five seconds we have once we arrive. There's not going to be much time to prepare, but if all goes well, I might be able to thin their numbers and debuff them enough so that we can make a clean break from this place. Unless something goes miserably wrong, we're not going to be fighting them head-on. Am I clear?"

Without waiting for a response, Deneb checked her grip on Viri's arm before bounding up a hill and sliding down the other side, throwing caltrops and oil all over the ground as the animals chasing them grew closer.

"Okay, here we go, I guess..." she sighed, drawing the knife at her side and adopting a battle stance as a few wolves—the vanguard, it seemed—began to run over the hill and over the traps that had been hastily prepared a few moments prior. Most lost their footing and tumbled into whatever else had been lying around, writhing in pain as the field boss and the rest of the pack arrived.

"If you've got any debuffs to help me, though, feel free to use them. I don't think either of us want to be eaten alive, so pull no punches."
