Misha sent the Brynn-ball spinning toward him, and Mal -- fumbled it. He swore (quietly, there were ladies present) as he missed the Brynn-ball and she uncurled to scuttle off and do more damage. "--sorry, sorry. Watch out, Asher."
Character Name:Mal Gherig Brief description of character: Mal is the the quintessential ice prince; cool in a crisis, he keeps a space of calm around himself even when the world is falling to pieces, but what you see on the surface isn't necessarily what's going on beneath. He has no fear of appearing like an a*****e in order to play devil's advocate, and will frequently go out of his way to do so in order to force others to think about their choices.

Once again, it seemed, Brynn snapped back into an angry, scratching armadillo just as she came at him. Asher was starting to take it personally, to wonder what he'd done to piss her off -- and, in response, this time he took a real swing at her.
And almost missed. Damnit.
HP: 32 Dmg: 2 Brynn's HP: 70 SHE TURNS INTO A BALL IN 2 more moves!
Briiva let out a soft growl as Brynn had another swipe at her, and she another arrow at Brynn. The armadillo seemed to be slowing down, or at least Briiva hoped so. For such a small critter, she was certainly resilient.
The Brynn-adillo charged across the field of battle directly at Rob, who struggled to get up and out of the way. Not fast enough, though, and she raked him across the arm with her claws. "Ow, s**t! God dammit, Brynn, we're not trying to hurt you!"
He fumbled with his greatsword and managed to swing the hilt at her, completely missing. Getting to his feet, he saw her retreat and roll up into a ball again. "Great. Here we go again," he muttered.
Rob's HP: 41 - 3 = 38 Dmg: 0 *facepalm* Brynn's HP: 60 - 0 = 60 Brynn can now be caught!

With a huffing sound, Misha once more put herself in a position that might help her catch Brynn. She was getting very frustrated here and tried to think what she would give to have thumbs again...
She missed but managed to bat the armadillo back towards Mal.
Misha's HP: 62 Damage: 2 Brynn's HP: 60 Brynn can be caught in 2 more tries
This was getting a little bit ridiculous -- like one of those long-winded songs where every verse was the same as the first but for slight variations. Mal made a half-hearted swat at Brynn-- and managed to catch the armadillo-ball a solid flat whack that sent her spinning toward Asher again. "Maybe we should just all pitch in and get her some nifty tools?"
Mal's HP: 26 Dmg: 6 Brynn's HP: 60 - 6 = 54 Brynn can be caught for 1 more round!

"She's the one attacking us, you know! We're just trying to help." It was sharp, and annoyed -- punctuated by an attempt to catch Brynn that only squeezed her, briefly, before she slithered out of Asher's grasp and away to attack Briiva. "I don't see why we owe her for this. The opposite, in fact."

Briiva flinched as Brynn came at her again, unable to retaliate until the critter chosen had already made her getaway. "s**t!"
Brynn was clearly making the rounds with her tiny armadillo rage. She leapt onto Rob's lower leg and attached herself, tearing at his pants with her claws. "Oi!" he yelped. She slid down to the ground and he reflexively kicked out sharply, sending her flying. "Little ungrateful creature." He then felt bad -- he'd just punted her like a soccer ball. "Sorry, Brynn…"
Rob's HP: 38 - 3 = 35 Dmg: 10 Brynn's HP: 52 - 10 = 42 Brynn can be caught after one more round!

With the sort of luck that only comes to someone when they're tired and stressed, Misha managed to be directly in the path of the careening armadillo after Rob's kick. Her reaction was immediate and instinctual; she twisted and lashed out with a surprisingly powerful foreleg to connect with Brynn's shoulder. The claws scratched and caught for a few heart-stopping moments, warring with the Chosen's natural god-protection. Then the armadillo stumbled and Misha swung around with another blow, claws in this time. The attack sent Brynn reeling towards Mal.
Misha's HP: 59 Damage: 8 Brynn's HP: 34 Brynn can be caught next round!
"--ahh!--" And of course, because Misha was ready for Brynn when she came at him, Mal wasn't. He stumbled, nearly tripped over Brynn's rolled up self, and managed to tangle his own feet together. He sat down hard enough for the click of his teeth snapping together to be heard, and it made his eyes water. At least he hadn't managed to catch his tongue between his teeth.

This time, as Brynn rolled toward him, Asher hesitated just a moment -- and then, instead of swiping or kicking, he threw himself bodily at the rolled up armadillo, wrapping his arms around her her and blocking her in with his legs. It was ungainly, graceless, but it was also effective.
"Quick! Someone have a bag?" And he sounded, just a touch, desperate -- looking up at the lot of them in search of help.
Briiva was about to offer her bag, but had to bite her tongue last minute as she remembered that it was currently housing a small raccoon, and she wasn't sure whether the two would get along or not. Plus, she was not about to be responsible for more than one small turned chosen. What would she do with herself if she fell backwards and squashed them? Nope, out of the question. She did see that a flower had fallen out from where Asher had scooped Brynn up, however. That she didn't mind picking up and handing off to Arthur for safekeeping.
Rob dropped his sword and quickly pulled his backpack off. The LAST thing he wanted was for Brynn to uncoil from her leathery little ball and start attacking Asher again. He went over to the small Hermes Chosen and held the body of the bag open. "Here you go, mate," he offered Asher. Hopefully Brynn wouldn't shred it too badly.
Noticing an odd-looking flower near them that wasn't there before, he picked it up with a shrug. Might be good for something.
"You lot want to head back to camp? I figure we can sort her out better back there."
