'What the hell is this monster doing here?' I thought as I stared at the "blood werewolf" before me, standing at about seven feet tall.
My companions told me telepathically that the other groups were also getting attacked by the same type of monster, which led me to believe that it was an orchestrated attack.
I doubted that the creatures were smart enough to know the different roads that the students were taking to split accordingly, so I tried keeping an eye out for another presence other than the werewolf.
As I kept pondering different options, I briefly turned my head to make sure that my team of students got inside the cart. However, that second was enough for the werewolf to appear right next to me.
The creature went for a strike with his claws, and even though I was somewhat distracted, I managed to place my bo horizontally and blocked his attack, which forcefully pushed the monster's arm back.
