Ok progress! They were at last making progress, maybe they could turn the tide!


Of course, Mudhound would not be thinking that had they any clue about how poorly the rest of the patrol was faring behind and around them, but right now they were too busy focused on the otter they were borderline wrestling with. When it came to their and Tigerpelts otter, the tripod had just TORN its small ear off of its head and Tigerpelt was making steady progress on shortening its tail. Removing the whole thing was probably too big an ask but further down.... Well maybe he could chew it in half, kinda rob the thing of its weapon.


Letting out a low dog like bark that to hounds sounded something like an insult the hornet lunged jaw forward again, spitting their stolen chunk of flesh and fixed their fangs around the otters eye. It wasnt clean, the thick skin and odd shape meaning Mudhound wasnt really sure if they'd managed to hit the eye and not just flesh around, but the beast surely didnt like it.


The beast screeched and chittered, thrashing its whole body in an attempt to buck the two clinging cats off. It was a strong motion that once again tossed Mudhound aside, but not before a sharp 'CRACK' was heard. When the tripod was done blinking the tears of pain out of their eyes they registered the blood in their mouth and the strange wrong feeling of their teeth and jaw....
Oh dear starclan, what had the otters thrashing and the sharp impact of its strong thick skull against their face done to them.



Mudhound couldnt pay it attention, they couldnt pay whatever damage had been done to them any attention just knowing that the pain would register them helpless. No they needed to- they needed to-



Dragonflycliff!

Blood soaked mouth (theirs and the otters) gaping as they stared at the otter that'd mauled Vivivi and killed (stars they couldnt tell if she was dead or not) Dragonflycliff Mudhound managed to choked out some pained gurgling sound of horror before dashing off, narrowly avoiding their otter snapped jaws closed an inch behind their neck.


It was a risky, stupid move but in a single motion the hornet had dashed passed the small otter, rebounded off a nearby rock, and used their momentum to SLAM the small otter away from Violetfreckle and straight into the older otter. It'd only buy their sister in law a bit of time to try and save her battle-buddy, but Mudhound hoped their desperate eyes conveyed a silent beg for Violetfreckle to use that time before it was up.



Its not like Mudhound could say that hope throught their mangled mouth as they went tearing into the small otter, shoving it more against the big otter praying it kept the two occupied a bit.


@Hex @vellichor @sturgeonwind
(velli you got a single post excuse escaping the otters attention to do slapdash healing on dragonfly/shove her in a bush to hide her if you want, as after hex's next post the small otter is escaping and going after yall again. Sorry to butt in lol Im just trying to give you options based on some bear poking.


Hex we're currently dealing with a big and little otter for a single post and muddys jaw is currently really messed up.)
