Fire and Ice [C]

Frostpaw circled as he waited for another opening, and nodded at Burningpaw's yowl. He was ready, but before he grabbed this fox, he had to destroy it as much as possible. Finally, an opening. A flash of white, and Frostpaw was opening his maw, and latching onto one of the fox's legs. He was unable to get to the neck, but if he could make it lame, there would be more opportunity to kill it. Before he could be thrown off, he retracted, readying himself once more to throw himself onto the fox once it threw Burningpaw off. Burningpaw would not be injured while he was there, he would protect those in his clan.

Yowling a quick, "Ready!", Frostpaw stayed put in position. Burningpaw wouldn't last much longer.

Frostpaw used Snap, dealing 6 (+1 night finesse), and using 7 stamina!

The fox threw Burningpaw off with considerable force. The dark apprentice hit the floor with a thud, but luckily he'd landed in a patch of soft moss. He bounced harmlessly back to his feet... and his heart dropped when he saw where Frostpaw was. The leg?!?!? What was he doing?!

"FROSTPAW MOVE!!!"

The fox was going to attack the thing closest to it's face. Unfortunately... that meant Frostpaw. It struck down with it's teeth and Burningpaw bolted forward. His claws went straight for the fox's eyes, intending to rip them completely from their sockets. This had been a mistake... Fear surged throughout his body. He couldn't look at Frostpaw. He didn't want to know how horribly this hunt had gone.

The fox wailed and lurched back in response to claws raking across it's eyes. At least it seemed more likely to retreat than to keep fighting now. That was fine with Burningpaw. He'd rather get Frostpaw to safety than fight any longer.

Fox used Iron Bite on Frostpaw, dealing 17 damage and -30SP

Frostpaw had been able to dodge away momentarily but looked back at Burningpaw when he heard his yowl. Was he injured? Wait, he needed to move? But Burningpaw was still holding... At that moment, Frostpaw realized the danger he was currently in, and attempted to leap away. His try was in vain, as the fox caught his back leg, tossing him aside like a chew toy. Luckily, he body didn't smack into a tree, but instead fell onto the rough ground, rolling for a moment before coming to rest.

It took him a moment to return to his senses, gaze refocusing on the fox. Frostpaw wasn't in much pain, but that was likely just the adrenaline. Burningpaw had slashed the predator across the eyes, sending it reeling back. It looked ready to flee... good. The battle was lost. He had been ready, just... distracted. Something he would have to remedy in the future. Watching through narrowed eyes, Frostpaw struggled back to his paws. "Burningpaw, leave it! It is wounded enough that a hunting party can kill it easily." He yowled this out at Burningpaw, placing himself into a defensive position. He would check the damage to his leg once the fox had retreated.

Frostpaw didn't attack this turn!
