Silver Wardog

Rathgar’s blow knocked the ruffian to the ground.  Around him his companions seemed to be handing the rest of the rabble quite handily, leaving the leader finally unprotected. 

The lithe human in dark studded leather frowned and tightened his grip on his short sword with his one hand, while the other reached quickly into a pouch at his hip.  Withdrawing a small silver figure, he yelled out “Sick ‘em!”

A glowing white mist flowed out of the figure toward Rathgar, forming into a large white dog with glowing eyes that leapt straight for him.
