Lucas nodded at Angelo; and started to run, weaving in and out of the battlefield. Stopping for a second to scan terrain looking for a birds eye view in which he would be able to see the battlefield, and still be within shouting distance of the group. He spotted a decent enough tree and hooked his bow on a low hanging branch to climb up into the oak. With a grunt he grabbed onto the tree and started to climb up, intent on climbing quickly he didn't hear the sound of paws running up behind him.
Almost completely in the tree with one leg dangling, a vicious set of teeth clamped onto his leg and pulled him out of the tree. He scrambled to find a handhold to keep him locked in the tree, it worked... For a second until the combined might and weight of the beast brought him to the ground. The Hellhound pounced on him and Lucas curled into a ball while the beast bit at him. "Help!" He squeaked, the sound muffled by his body, ashamed at not being to handle one hellhound.
