As the bridge of trees fell, MacKensie fired a shot at the wolves trying to make it across the gorge, hitting the one just behind the Alpha Female.  It fell into the darkness along with one of it's brethren, but the Ranger didn't wait to see it disappear - already shoving her free hand into her pouch to come up with a fistful of bolts.  A lightning quick reload followed by a sharp raising of her one-handed crossbow.  Stood side on, a deep breath held, one eye closed as she aimed with utmost concentration - her target; the Alpha Male crossing the gorge.  She followed the flight-path of the direwolf's leap, accounting for distance, a little wind and...  [color=Pink][i]J'ai vous.[/i][/color]

The crossbow twanged as the bolt exploded towards the target, perfectly on course to catch the Alpha Male in it's skull, in mid-air, right above the gorge where gravity could finish the job.  But no.

[color=Pink]"What?"[/color] MacKensie exclaimed as the bolt missed.

The Alpha Male direwolf, in some feat of sorcery, jumped again, using a flash of light?

There was no time to mourn the miss as a blast of sound and air came towards the group.  She watched Zell avoid it, then dodged to one side with pirouette to let it past her harmlessly.  Adam was now in danger, betwixt the Alphas, and direwolves from the periphery of her vision swarmed down from the cliffsides to block her from a clear shot to help her friend.  The front line engaged the charging enemy. MacKensie supported as she moved to get a visual on Adam.  She dropped a bolt into the firing mechanism, cocked back and let one fly from the hip - all in one smooth motion, her bolt hitting the leg of the Lesser Direwolf charging Clive.

When James shouted for Zell to help Adam, MacKensie could wait no longer for her clear shot. [color=Pink]"On it!"[/color]

She ran forward, skipping between Clive and Arthur's fights in a zig-zag motion to avoid stray attacks, to catch up to Fenna's advanced position.  In the back of her mind, a lone and very quiet thought trailed amongst the urgent ones.  [color=Pink][i]I didn't notice her spear was so long![/i][/color] Nonetheless, with a clear view of Adam and the Alphas, she took aim and fired off three shots at the Male, in hopes of at least distracting it, if she could not hurt it.

[color=Pink]"Come quick!"[/color] she called to the Druid, backing up and continuing to fire off more shots until Adam was close enough that she could reach out and grab his hand.  [color=Pink]"Let's go,"[/color] she said, turning to run with him back past the remaining Lesser Direwolves to the safety of the back line.
