Calling out with his boisterous mouth to the others rather than using discretion. What's more the idiot thought he could simply barter with their would be assailant for free passage. If they had planned on leaving empty handed they wouldn't have bothered to even lay a trap. Ermes couldn't even get a word in edgewise before Kyreth opened up his mouth to warn them of…[i]something[/i]. Even he didn't know what it was that he was saying. [Color=7b5d92][i]Great I'm surrounded by idiots[/i][/color] he thought as an arrow was loosed and shot into the dying wolf. Everything fell silent, Ermes [i]hoped[/i] that that was the end of it. But he knew better. They were surrounded, undead wolves coming from either side, one emerging right from where he'd caught the presence. [Color=7b5d92][i]Damn that idiot. He was talking to an undead wolf[/i][/color] He cursed to himself, swiftly sliding out from under the horse as Ceolfric dealt with both the horse and beast at the same time. Ermes wasn't much of a shield fighter, but watching the mercenary do his work was actually impressive. Again the merc snapped his fingers, and suddenly the horse calmed down. Interesting skill to say the least, he'd no idea the bandit was capable of animal handling. [Color=7b5d92]"That all depends on what [i]these things[/i] are. For now, I have a temporary solution."[/color] Ermes called out, his voice showing the smallest hint of annoyance and enjoyment as he spoke. He held his right hand palm up with his fingers clawed as he jutted it upwards before closing it into a fist. [Color=7b5d92]"Restrain"[/color] His Aether pooled up beneath the wolf before him, the dirt beneath it began to get disturbed a large aged skeletal hand clawed its way from underground and wrapped itself around the wolf gripping its entire body. [Color=7b5d92]"I can hold it off for a bit, keep it from moving."[/color] Hopefully Kyreth could use his weird and extremely vague sense to find whoever was responsible for this. If they were constructs it'd be easy, if they were reanimated…he didn't want to think about it.
