Your Arrow passes clean through the creature’s mouth, tearing a jagged hole in its furry jowl. The beast shrieks at the sudden pain and shakes its head, spraying you with thick crimson blood. Maddened by the pain, it snaps its great fangs and rolls its grim yellow eyes as it steadies itself to pounce on you and exact its revenge.

Hurriedly you drop your Bow and unsheathe a hand weapon as the wolf springs towards your chest.
