Anomalous Trip (Part II)

[slicsinatra]

I motion to the wolf and approach. I show the wolf my items and allow them to smell it. Then I motion to the girls leg where the wolf can see.

[Dragnoxz]

The wolf looks, then looks away and snuggles its head up against the girl. The girl cuddles with the wolf and does the same, but leaves her leg stretched, almost as if she’s being told to.

[slicsinatra]

I touch her leg slightly at first to gauge reaction, then I begin to clean her wound. Once it’s flushed I apply the hemostatic glue then the gauze bandage to protect from debris. Rainwolves. I can deduce the wolf turned into her from the wound. He seems to be instructing her…telepathic? I think to myself in my head and attempt to direct it at the wolf ‘Hear me now?’ I think aloud in my head.

[Dragnoxz]

When you touch her, she is startled as one would be from sudden touch from the dark. The wolf looks up then leans back down, and the girl does the same. You complete the simple treatment of the wound and she dozes off. The wolf gets up and goes out the way y’all came in.

[slicsinatra]

I follow the wolf out, maybe it will show me where to go. Maybe the giants are gone. “Captain, status?”

[Dragnoxz]

You receive no response. You reach the exit. The wolf stands at the opening, sniffing the air.

Perception.

[slicsinatra]

Perception 17.

[Dragnoxz]

You can tell the wolf is female. She gets low and sniffs the air.

[slicsinatra]

I stay low as well, and scan the area for danger or presence of giants.

[Dragnoxz]

You hear the crack and thump I. Your chest of a grenade round detonating about 450 meters from you, toward the bride area. The coms come to live with heavy breathing.

[slicsinatra]

I reach out to touch the wolf. I try to motion to him where the explosions came from. I touch myself on the chest and gesture. As in ‘my’ then point in the direction of the explosions. I whisper “Need help..” to the wolf in a last ditch effort to establish a language link in english.

[Dragnoxz]

When you make contact on the wolf she jumps with a yelp. She runs into the forest, terrified. On FLIR, you see lots of warm spots moving through the forest. It’s the dogs. Some of them stop and look toward where she’s running. They jump to give chase. You see a small group break off from the large group to give chase.

[slicsinatra]

Are they moving toward me or toward the sound of the wolf running?

[Dragnoxz]

Toward the sound of the wolf running away. Behind them, at least beyond the FLIR view in the forest, you hear the movement of some giants.

[slicsinatra]

“f**k.” I whisper. “Cap I got giants in my vicinity but they are distracted. Will try to sneak past as soon as I can.”
