they were doomed because of lycaon's big fat mouth -- and partially, because of arrille.

the next several seconds were a blur to ingram, mostly because he was aware of overwhelming pain. furi's teeth, blixen's teeth -- all teeth -- found him -- he was used like a ratted punching bag, flung from foe to foe like a rag -- and he blindly kept his feet about him but that was it. in truth, he had as much blundering grace as a drunken otter, and stumbled wildly about as they assailed him.

for a second furi is on the ground, but ingram did not think about taking advantage of that. instead his focus was on lycaon - "run, idiot!" he yelled, stumbling forward wildly as blixen's fangs drove into him. searing pain claimed him and he flinched under her teeth, almost buckling to the ground in agony.

there was a moment, a brief opportunity of escape, and ingram took it as best he could - with a grunt he shoved through and placed his body in front of lycaon, forcing him ahead with a growl as he received the brunt of their assailant's attacks. he was weakened, bloodied, and battered -- and as quick as he could he limped off before they claimed his life as well as his dignity.
