> Quick, whip around with our weapon brandished and find the source of that voice!

> You turn swiftly,  immediately-
> being disarmed!?
> "Turn back if you're planning on causing trouble." The wolf-like woman points back towards the village.
> Your weapon is a bit too far to try Defend with at this distance...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Is this a tengu???
> Position ourselves between Lady Keiki and the wolf woman, with our arms open to cover as much space as we can.
> "We have no intention of causing trouble with those that do not pick fights with us!"

> "We have no intention of causing trouble with those that do not pick fights with us!"

> "You drew a weapon first." The woman says.
> "We aren't heading back." Keiki explains.
"We would-"
> "Then you choose to resist. If we can't send you back, we'll capture you and see what our boss says." The tengu prepares for battle.
> Interrupting lady Haniyasushin like that...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Point angrily at the wolf.
> "Do not interrupt Lady Keiki!"

[Neovereign]

> Point angrily at the wolf.
> "Do not interrupt Lady Keiki!"

> "You're the ones trespassing first."
> The wolf girl scatters danmaku your way. Looks like this will be a fight... you hardly have time to dodge this close. And Keiki is still behind you.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Do we have any defensive options?
> Have we ever carried Lady Keiki?

[Neovereign]

> Do we have any defensive options?
> Have we ever carried Lady Keiki?

> Your body? Maybe. It should be durable enough for a lot.
> Yes.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Would we have enough time to scoop Lady Keiki up and then turn back around and examine the bullet pattern? Or is it coming for us too quickly?

[Neovereign]

> Would we have enough time to scoop Lady Keiki up and then turn back around and examine the bullet pattern? Or is it coming for us too quickly?

> Too quick and close.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Stay behind me, Lady Keiki!"
> Move ourselves back so we're right in front of Lady Keiki, and brace ourselves for impact. Our top priority should be making sure Lady Keiki doesn't get hit by a single bullet, even if it means we eat a whole bunch of them.

> You take the attack in a pattern of a claw to guard Keiki.
> This is nothing. You can take this fifty times over.
> The wolf charges for you,  running up in an obvious manner

[Kilgamayan]

> Is she still firing bullets, brandishing her sword, or both?

[Neovereign]

> Is she still firing bullets, brandishing her sword, or both?

> Neither. She's bare handed.

[Kilgamayan]

> Get our hands ready to grab, and then charge at the woman, grappling her hands in ours and attempting to wrestle her to the ground.

[Neovereign]

> You get ready.
> the woman skids to a stop, locking up more dirt than you'd expect such to make,  and jumping away-
> However, you grab onto her and slam her down with the opportunity, which she definitely didn't seem to expect.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> How much wrestling/grappling experience do we have?

[Neovereign]

> How much wrestling/grappling experience do we have?

> Not much, but you should be strong enough to manage any sort of grab you can think of.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Are we currently grabbing her hands?
> Is she on the ground on her back?
> Are we more or less lying on top of her? If not, what position are we in relative to her?

[Neovereign]

> Are we currently grabbing her hands?
> Is she on the ground on her back?
> Are we more or less lying on top of her? If not, what position are we in relative to her?

> No.
> Yes.
> No
> You're standing above her, having caught her foot before she could get out of range.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> What is she wearing on her feet?

[Neovereign]

> What is she wearing on her feet?

> Nothing.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Shift our grip on her foot so we slot her ankle in the crook of our elbow, then tightly hold that arm up against our body so her ankle is pinned to our torso.
> "Please forgive me, wolf warrior!"
> Then use our other hand and begin energetically tickling the bottom of her foot.

> You start to massage- no,  the "not massage". Tickle, the wolf.
> "I'll a-Ahaha! What are you- ahahaha" the wolf girl struggles, landing a kick against your face.
> Weak.. You have her competely at your mercy!
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> With our tickling hand, grab her other foot as it kicks us in the face.
> Force the ankle attached to this newly-grabbed foot over and slide it under our pinning arm until it is next to her already-pinned ankle, so that we have both of her ankles pinned against our body with her feet as close to each other as we can manage.
> Then resume energetically ticking both of her feet, spreading our free hand wide enough to get at them both.

> You restrict her other leg and start tickling it,  too.
> she holds onto the ground, as if trying to pull herself away, but clearly can't overpower you.
> "H-Hehaha! Help!"
> You hear rustling nearby.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Continue tickling in the background of all other actions.
> Speak down at the wolf on the ground: "Surrender and I will stop!"
> Look over at the rustling.
> "Watch out, Lady Keiki! Keep behind me!"

> Look over at the rustling.
> "Watch out, Lady Keiki! Keep behind me!"

> It's another wolf girl, similar in appearance to this one.
> "G-Get the other one!" The one in your grasp shouts between laughing.
> The other wolf girl starts for Keiki.
> "Can we just explain?" Keiki asks.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> !!!
> "Stop!"
> Dragging our current captive over, get between the newcomer and Lady Keiki!

[Neovereign]

> !!!
> "Stop!"
> Dragging our current captive over, get between the newcomer and Lady Keiki!

> You rush over, finding that she's stopped well before reaching her.
> "Then explain why you're trespassing and fighting."
> "We wanted to go to the shrine on this mountain, but my subordinate drew her weapon to defend me from a sudden appearance. That appearance was your friend there, who didn't let us explain."
> "The shrine? Pardon us, but you're really on the wrong way. You can't just go up the mountain any way. There's a route that people are free to take, so long as they stay on it." The woman says. "But, even so, I can't excuse assaulting one of us, especially when you drew a weapon first."

[Kilgamayan]

> What are we made of?
> How flexible are we?
> How large or small are these wolves compared to us?
> "I only drew it in response to an ambush! Was I supposed to assume whoever suddenly appeared behind me did not have one of their own?"
