Rypa scuffled back just enough to so the teeth closed round her tough leather boot rather than the naked flesh of her leg. The beast started shaking its head. The thrashing felt like it was rip her leg from her body. Her frantic swinging of her sword she managed to get her patterned blade to bite into the beasts flesh. It opened its maw just enough for her to pull her leg free. Rolling away she shrugs her cloak away revealing her horns.

Denied its prey it turns towards Glenn . Rypa attempted to put weight on her ankle and regretted it. She gasped as she fell to her knee.

(Mind if I join?) A man riding a small horse, more of a pony than anything, rides into a clearing and dismounts, opening a small case and pulling out a book. He starts to read and is startled by the noise coming from the fight, quickly putting his book away and starting to climb onto his horse in an attempt not to get involved.

Unfortunately, the horse rushes towards the battle, then rears up, throwing him off it's back, and runs off.

The man flies through the air, directly towards the Were, and gets swatted out of the air. (Ooooooh, it rhymed! )

Rypa watch the figure get swatted out of the air. Glad of the distraction thrust her sword towards the monster's heart. Black blood spurted out of the wound.
"You ok...boy?" She asked looking at the were.

"First of all, yeah, thanks. Second of all, I am a grown man."

"Halfling?" Asked Rypa as she hacked the were's head off. "Dangerous to be out in the wood alone."
She turned to the new companion whilst cleaning her blades. Once she was happy that there was no more danger she sits and tends to her ankle.

He sighed, wiping dust off his suit. "I wasn't alone at the start, but yeah."
He mutters something under his breath while smoothing his hair back down.

Glances around wondering where the others went, before grabbing a couple of sticks to splint her ankle.
"I'm known as Rypa; what can I call you?"
She ginerly got to her feet and hopped over tree where she cut a branch to act as a crutch.

He stood up, looking at the blood staining his clothes with distaste.
"My name is Formoshin, pleasure to make your aquaintance."

"Lets get you back to where you belong" Said the elf as she limped over.
She paused and looked at the ground. Leaning over she picks up a piece of parchment.
"What do we have here." She said more to herself than anyone else.
Opening it she saw a map. She thought for a moment comparing the scrawl on the parchment with the map in her mind. She could not make it on her ankle but there was a healer not half an hour from here.
"Ok this way." She said point towards the healer.

He wipes some blood off his hands with a hankerchief from his bag.
"Sorry to bother you, but..."
He grimaced, sighing.
"Do you have anything to eat? If it isn't too much trouble."

Rypa rolled her eyes and said "We'll see what we can pick up on the way."
She hobbled of towards the healer grabbing berries as she went. Sharing them with the halfling.
