Catapla

She races in at top speed, staying silent and low to the ground. She avoids any open areas, and sticks to thickets and groves as she begins to run in a wide circle. If one dog is far in head of the others... and from the humans, she'll circle around and attack it...

*Dogs & Humans*

The three dogs are hunting breeds, but were intended mainly in retrieving game. The largest of the three pulls many yards in head of his fellows... the humans are out of sight...

Catalpa

She halts in a thicket, waiting for them to come closer. Once the lead dog is a few yards from her, Catalpa leaps out at it, aiming to ram her shoulder into it and send him off his feet. At the same time, she strives for his throat for a quick kill...

*Dogs & Humans*

The dog was completely caught off guard, and yelps shrilly as your fangs tear into its soft throat, and through it's two veins. It struggles on the ground to get up, but it is doomed. By that time, the other two dogs have reached the scene. One dog wisely backs off and races toward the humans who are still far off. But the other dog growls and snaps at you...

Catalpa

She leaps gracefully away from the foolish dog that snaps at her. Just as quickly though, she throws herself at him, driving her fangs for his fore-leg to crush the bone...

*Dogs & Humans*

Like his stricken companion threshing in the snow, this dog gives a shrill yelp as the wolvish jaws crush one of his fore-legs. He snaps at your maw as he hobbles backward in a pathetic attempt to avoid another attack...

Catalpa

She merely snarls at the pain in her muzzle when the dog bites. Letting him back off a little, Catalpa rushes around and around him, knowing that he can not keep up with a badly broken leg. Then, she suddenly rushes at him again, attempting the shoulder trick again to throw him off his feet and slash his throat...

*Dogs & Humans*

He is unable to either evade this rush, nor brace himself. He is hurled off his feet, and skids across the grass as you are able to take him by the throat and deliver a fatal wound. The first dog you attacked lays silently; he is dead. The second is floundering in the snow. Suddenly, you here a loud noise as a human fires his gun! They are a ways away still, but are approaching fast...

Catalpa

Her ears flatten flush with her head, and she lowers her body to the ground. Catalpa glances once at her fallen foes before turning and fleeing gracefully through the thicket, circling many times over her trails to confuse them humans. Then she begins a wide circles to try and come up far behind the humans.

*Dog & Humans*

The humans and a very frightened dog eventually reach their two dead retrievers. They curse very much, and talk hotly amongst themselves. You are close enough to hear them talk, and make out their words, but you can't understand their speech anyways. The dog does know few words of their language, and his fur bristles at the word 'wolf'.

After a few minutes, the four men begin to follow your trail, but they soon give it up as it is too hard to follow. The dog refuses to follow your scent, and you get off easy. They humans eventually make it back to their vehicles and drive off out of your territory.

Catalpa

Satisfied that she protected her pack and pack lands from the deadly humans, Catalpa howls a brief 'Alls Well' note before lying down to rest.

Catalpa

After her rest, Catalpa gets up and covers over her trail again to sniff around where she killed the two dogs. After her investigation, the lithe she-wolf trots off.
