[open] IT'S TOO EARLY FOR SURRENDER, TOO LATE FOR A PRAYER
Who: Lys a wolf a big fluffy dog + you, random passerby, trouble
When: Early-ish April
Where: School grounds, First and Second Ring (public roads), eventually the Third Ring (docks)
What: BEEP BEEP DOGGO DELIVERY
[Did you ever see the movie Balto? More or less based on a true story, gets mistaken for the work of Don Bluth, was something of a childhood awakening for furries — ...wait. Anyway, there was a scene at the beginning of said movie where the part-dog, part-wolf protagonist traverses a small Alaskian town by way of various parkour tricks, like running across fences and jumping between rooftops. Quick, nimble, and sure-footed, he made clever use of his environment to circumvent a lack of opposable thumbs.
Imagine that, but with a bigger, fluffier, and not quite as graceful creature racing through the streets of Anastara on a beeline for the docks, a package clutched tightly between their jaws. Dodging, sliding, even jumping headlong over obstacles, the beast frantically attempts to navigate through districts that have, on today of all days, become absurdly crowded: spilled boxes, milling pedestrians, workers carrying gigantic panes of glass and crystal, random flocks of angry geese, spontaneous wizard duels, and so much else that it might lead one to wonder if the canine had been a very, very bad dog in a previous life.
Try to clear a path? Deliberately block the way? Attempt to steal the mystery package? Come one, come all!]

Yes, she does have someplace to be. Yes, it would be quite upsetting to face a scolding for getting there too late. But her conscience simply won't allow her to turn tail (to borrow a phrase) on someone in trouble. Especially if they were in said trouble on her account, even tangentially.
So resolved, she snatches one of the geese by the webbed leg and tosses them a good distance, trying to synergize with Cliff and Rounder to force an opening they could all skedaddle through.]

Rounder, let 'em fly!
[With that, Cliff sweeps the buckler at the nearest goose--startling it into flight. The next one gets caught up on the shield and launched into the air--apparently he thought her idea was a good one. With that, he starts to charge away from the geese. Rounder does launch his smoke bombs, left and right--they should not irritate the lungs much, but the clouds of thick, white smoke obfuscate everyone nicely. Thankfully the dog has a sense of smell, and Rounder doesn't need to see. He'll drag Cliff out slowly, by tugging the hem of his robe and leading him in the right direction. It'll slow his master down a bit, but not really stop him...]
