Ashleg

Rern growled and launched two arrows at the bush, tail lashing.
"Coward!" he sneered. "Are you dead yet?"

The Skarzs

  Argunath stayed silent, listening for any sound of the rat as he felt the ground for any rocks he might be able to throw. Nothing.
  He went held his sword ready, and waited for Rern to come check the bush.

OOC: Not trying to force him to do anything.

Cave potato.

Ashleg

Rern squinted, lifting a paw to scratch his furless head before growling and padding over there, bow raised and trained on the bush at all times.
He halted and nudged a branch out of the way, clearing his sight trail for the middle of the bush.
Nothing.
The rat curled his lip and turned, spotting Argunath crouching on the ground!

The Skarzs

  With a growl, Argunath rose up and launched himself at Rern, swinging his sword for the rat's head.

Rern let out a hoarse scream and lost his footing, falling hard on his back just as the sword would have ripped through his neck.
The rat rolled hurriedly out of the way and tossed his bow to the side, fumbling angrily for his dagger.

The Skarzs

  Argunath regained his own footing, and immediately went into a ready stance, eyeing down the rat. He did not wait long before taking another cut at Rern's arm.

Rern looked up, his heart leapt into his throat, and a shriek escaped his jaws as the flashing metal sliced downward across his arm, like one would cut an apple.
Gasping through pained, infuriated tears, the rat hopped up and took a stab at Argunath's middle.
"You d-die!"

The Skarzs

  Argunath gasped sharply at the pain of Rern's dagger stabbing into his side. His own strike had not done enough to stop the rat, and they were now both bleeding.
  The cougar growled dangerously. "You first!"
  He roared and crashed forward, aiming a powerful kick at Rern.

Ashleg

Rern hopped, grunting, out of the way, and doubled behind Argunath to again grab at the pack, hoping that the stab would at least hinder the cougar for the time being.

The Skarzs

  The cougar tried to swing around to backhand the rat, but the pain of his side didn't allow him to hit with full strength.

Rern caught the brunt of the blow but was only made to stumble back rather than fall because of the general weakness of the cougar's attack.
Gathering his wits, he lunged, slashing with his dagger.

The Skarzs

  Argunath jumped back, then cut down with his sword. He could feel the anger growing within him, and he let it come over him.
  He roared terrifyingly, swinging wildy with his weapon and pushing at the rat. The feeling of his pain left him, and he saw nothing but his opponent.

Rern's breath left him. The rat screamed in terror and scrambled to get away, just barely parrying the cougar's blows long enough to break off and run.

The Skarzs

  Argunath roared again and leapt after Rern, breaking branches out of his way as he closed the gap.

Ignoring the wound in his arm, Rern turned a sharp corner and scrambled up a tree, wrenching himself up and over the branches.
The higher he climbed the thinner they would get...and thus the rat narrowed his eyes and hurried upward. Those thinner branches would not be able to hold his pursuer for long.
