Desperate Measures

Perhaps because of your accelerated blood loss, a wild idea enters your mind. Out of desperation, you try it, stretching your neck and biting as hard as you can into the wolf's furry shoulder. Not surprisingly, it howls in pain.

You fear the ultimate retaliation, but before your very eyes, the wolf seems almost to evaporate. Its fur thins, and its muzzle shortens. A minute later, it looks like a very ugly human being with a wraparound beard. Then, even that melts away, and you find yourself alongside a mere mortal, bleeding and much like yourself. You back away and notice the fireplace tools, realizing what a good weapon the poker would make. Of course, you aren't likely to need it against your adversary if his transformation is permanent.
