*For several moments Ursula continus to snarl, her eyes taking on a glazed, mindless look. Her expression twists into a grimace as she fights down the animal rage with increasing difficulty, and as she blinks her eyes regain their human intelligence*
"...yes... forgive me... this spirit seeks to loose my inner beast, and I must not allow it."
*Raising her staff, she presses it to her forehead for a few moments, muttering a prayer under her breath*
"Gaia, I ask you to help me restrain my rage and preserve my people's law."
*Lowering her staff, she shakes herself hard, as if trying to cast off the darker urges that the Bloodfang Blade has stirred within her*
"Tom, should I start beahving like that again, you must do whatever it takes to restrain me, no matter how severe. Please."

*Ursula returns the look, her eyes searching, then nods in agreement*
"I understand Tom. I will do exactly what I would wish you to do should the spirit gain control of me."

"Come we must prepare for Hordriss's return and the comeing ritual."
"Should Be a very Intresting spectical."

*Tom finds a sutiable spot to use for the cricle.*
"Right then Kavorken's circle of warding is what Hordriss wants and Kavorken's circle of warding is what Hordriss will have."
"I need some chalk or powder or something to make out the circle. Ursula look after my recorder for a moment will you."
*He hands her his recorder.*
"Take good care of it, It means a lot to me as you have seen."
*Tom starts rumaging through his pokets and pulls out the following.
A Yo-yo.
A ball of string.
A small mirrior.
A criket ball.
A bannar.
A ? mark shaped locket.
A Bag Of Jelly Babies.
"Ar Ha here it is."
*He pulls out a shaped stick that by all rights should not have fited in to his pocket.*
"I'll take my recorder of yours hands now my dear."
*He says stuffing the other bric-a-brac back into his pockets.*

*Ursula's expresion becomes more and more bemused and disbelieving as the amount of random objects increases. She hands the recorder back as requested, and decides it's best not to ask*
"Very well, let us commence. Should I make my warding circle inside or outside yours, or should they be overlaid?"

"Hmmmm... Oh errr I think it would be best if they were Overlaid, It might incress there power. But then again we have no idea how strong This Bloodfang Blade realy is."
"So if Ursula you start over there.*
"He points to a rock jutting out a few steps behind Ursula.*
I'll start here and we'll meet in the middle. OK?"

"Very well, I'll start right away."
*Turning her back on Tom, Ursula heads over to where he indicated, and uses her staff to mark a deep semicircular groove until it meets Tom's circle. Going back to the start of the groove, she fills it with a mixture of dried sorrel, fennel and crushed rock salt. Finishing her task, she plants her staff in the end of the groove, and holds it in one hand while she sketches the shape of the Ursa Major constellation in midair with the other*
"Ursa, awaken the sleeping powers of these herbs to ward against evil forces. May your light keep the darkness at bay."
*There is a flare of silver light, which traces the shape of the constellation, then shoots downwards through Ursula's staff and along the circle she's marked. It glows with a soft white light for a second, then fades as Ursula surveys her handiwork*
(OOC: But whether it's successful, and how powerful it is is up to the reps)
"There. Hopfefully our combined magics will hold..."

"You do of corse know Bear Woman That these circles Only keep out what is outside of them NOT What is already inside."
*That voice the same inhuman and evil voice as befor, Ursula never had a chance to turn befor the blow knocked her down to the floor.
She staggerd back to feet and turned round to see Tom grasping a rock his eyes once again showing the maddness and blood lust of the Bloodfang and the sadistic and cold blooded smile once more on his face.*

*Ursula's eyes widen as she hears the voice, but doesn't have a chance to react before she is knocked to the floor. Her cry of pain and shock becomes a full-throated roar as she shapeshifts into her Crinos form in response to the supernatural threat and whips around to face Tom, raising her claws to slash and bringing them down in a deadly sweep...*
*...but she regains control before her claws can strike Tom, and twists her paw around so that the back of her blunt paw swipes at him in a stunning blow rather than a killing one*

"ARRRRRRRRR"
*Tom's limp Body is hurld back a few feet by the blow and lands in a crumplad heep. It looks like an old scare crow that has fallen from its pole."

*Brother Strange makes a move as Tom hits Ursula, but it is over before he can interfere. He is somewhat surprised at witnessing Ursual transform into a Crinos werebear, although he appears much less frightened than one might expect.*
Interesting...
*He remains apart from the others, waiting until he is needed.*

*Shocked by her actions, Ursula shrinks back to her human form and runs over to Tom to check that he's not seriously injured*
"Tom? Can you hear me?"
*Thankfully he's only unconsious and hasn't broken any bones. Ursula pulls him inside the circle, propping his limp body into a sitting position against the rock he's pointed out earlier, murmuring to herself in disbelief*
"...I could have killed him..."
*She doesn't know why she resorted to the brutality of her Crinos form when a simple blow from her staff would have done, and sits beside him in an agony of remorse and guilt, starting to get extremely worried about the effect this spirit is having on her, and wondering whether it might be safer for her to head deeper into the forest until it is gone, to ensure she doesn't harm anyone else*

*Tom's mind is a tempest of emotions as he strugals to regain controll. Thankfully the blow from Ursula has disloged the Spirts hold on him and slowly he ragins control and conciousness.*
"Orrrr."
"He murmers as he attempts to move his head. His eyes filiker open. A blow of this force would have render a normal human un-concius for hours, But Tom is nither noraml or Human.*
"Ouch."
*Is all he can say.*

*Ursula looks round in some surprise as she hears Brother Strange, having forgotten he was there. His indifference is somewhat disturbing, but just as she is about to speak to him, she hears Tom*
"Tom! Are you all right? I'm so sorry for hitting you so hard... I should never have reacted like that!"
