Smokey the Wolf

There is no water nearby, so you pull one of the ancient tapestries off the wall and toss it over the smoldering canid. Then you leap on top of it and force it to the floor.

"Hold still!" you shout as you attempt to roll the struggling wolf inside the tapestry. It is not an easy task; the wolf is huge...and strong! After several frantic moments, however, the fire has been smothered.

All at once, the wolf stands up (throwing you back several feet in the process), tosses the heavy tapestry aside as though it were a handkerchief, and begins to cough violently.

Lying on the floor, you gaze up at the beast in awe. Standing on its hind legs, it is at least seven feet tall, with a physique that would put any human bodybuilder to shame. Except for the burned portions, its coat is black and glossy.

Then the wolf turns in your direction and fixes its gleaming yellow eyes directly on you. Is that gratitude in its eyes...or is it something else?
