Absolutely make the first move Wolves are fast. If they're on the move, there's no way we'll be able to get a bead on one with ##Nåzom Stėgeth##, so we get one shot at this. That Dire Wolf will tear us apart if it gets close.

Trouble on the Rim, Book 2, Chapter 3 The City of Whale, Eastern Outskirts Part Twentytwo: For your eyes only Current Region: Huddik ... for what feels like forever, lost in the eyes of the wolf.  But your muscles tighten of their own accord, your hand firmly embracing the triggering lever and pulling, inevitably downward as if mimicking the journey of a falling icicle, with a terminus just as lethal. There is a 'click' as the lever reaches it's anapex, followed by the whisper of the near frictionless release of an iron rod, increasing in intensity as it accelerates into the supersonic. The shockwave rattles your seat, threatening to shake your cart apart and absolutely driving your donkey from reason, whereupon it attempts to disengage from madness by running away as quickly as possible, forgetting in its haste or animal stupidity that it is still attached to the cart. You jolt out of your arbalest, flying to the hard forest ground and rolling twice before coming to a stop. Your world is a blur. Khami scatters to avoid the runaway cart, causing every wolf within sight to pounce from their perches, and the fight is on. Skvababt let's loose two arrows in quick succession, dealing a deadly blow to one of the naughty puppers, which collapses mid-jump, life knocked out of it. As for the direwolf? Wether it be from some animalistic want of display of power in-front of it's pack, or behavior more emergent from a sinister intelligence, it has attempted to fetch the stick. The impact is felt rather than seen, for there is all together too much debris flying to really make out what happened. Leafs, branches, bark and blood cover the immediate area around where the direwolf previously stood, and the rosewood that rooted behind it is apparently on fire internally, the treewound letting scant glistening sunlight through.  Howls line the canopies and bloodlust descends on the battlefield. One wolf splits from the others, rushing towards the freshly cratered area that housed the previous Alpha. Does it intend to challenge ithe wounded elder for leadership? Or to curry favour with its missing master? Or perhaps to claim the dead or dying for a meal of its own? You do not know. Skvababt downs another wolf meanwhile, whereas Khami braces for future impact whilst you stumble to get on your feet. The donkey has already gotten the cart caught in between boulders and trees and is braying furiously, a sound that only serves to attract the remaining trio of wolves. And just as that they are upon you, each wolf furiously charging the closest foe. Khami smacks one with his chain but fails to grip it, and it latches onto his arm painfully. He makes to punch it with his other arm, using the chains he wields as a flail though it is obviously quiet cumbersome.  One goes for Skvababt, leaping into the air before she can ready another arrow and she is forced to roll away from the predator lest she be savaged. You boil internally but raise your shield as the third wolf dives for your throat. You hold your ground despite the snarling beasts momentum and bring your axe to bear but fail to land more than a glancing blow. There is howling once more from over by the crater but at this point you are to busy to understand why. Khami knocks his wolf away with some difficulty and smacks it upon the head with a weak, wet thump. It hops around waiting for another opportunity to pounce. Despite teeth and claw you eventually manage to push your wolf onto the ground with your shield, and from there dispatching it is easier though it is far hardier than a wolf of its size has any right to be, taking several axeslashes to its flanks before bloodloss and collapsing internals put an end to its madness. You look around you hastily, noticing Khami once more tumbling with his foe, far too speedy and in his face for his liking. As heavy support, he fights best when others are engaged in melee, and is at his worst under the current circumstances. You are unsure if he will prevail on his own. Skvababt is a marksfrogwoman. Her peak performance was likewise before melee was engaged and she did indeed drop several wolves in the opening bout. That she yet lives is more a testament to her experience as a hunter and natural grace as a frog. She is currently engaged in a deadly game of There is also the matter of the missing direwolf (honestly at this point presumed dead) and the fourth wolf that has yet to engage. If it were to attack either Skvababt or Khami, the tides would surely turn in lupin favour. 1: Where do you focus your efforts? A: Support Khami The two of you can expect to triumph, freeing him up for dealing with the rest of your foes. Alone, it is likely he will lose, for his role is ill-suited indeed, but he has better armour than Skvababt against this type of enemy. B: Support Skvababt The two of you can expect to triumph, freeing her up for dealing with the rest of your foes. Alone, you are unsure if she would lose, for whilst her role is ill-suited, and though her armour offers inferior protection against this type of enemy, she matches the wolf in dodging prowess. C: Attack the remaining wolf. Kill it before it can claim pack-dominance, murder your companions or rustle the dire-wolf or whatever it is attempting to do. It might have just run away. You don't know. D: Try to get back on ##Nåzom Stegėth## The cart is stuck and the donkey is panicked. You will have to knock it out or kill it if you want to avoid your cart shaking apart under the strain. You are absolutely certain that ##Nåzom Stegėth## would kill anything remaining you pointed it at, though wether it would also kill your companions in the process might be a concern. Also, going for the siege-arbalest will take precious seconds that could be otherwise spent murdering wolves.

Trouble on the Rim, Book 2, Chapter 3 The City of Whale, Eastern Outskirts Part Twentythree: Guess Who's back? Current Region: Huddik Skvababt is acrobatic enough that she should be OK for a while, you reason, especially considering her previous job, so you yell some words of encouragement her way and go to rescue Khami from his vulpine scuffle. Axe in hand, shield in other, you push up against the melee causing the wolf to snap at you, barring it's teeth. You give it a polite nod in turn, taunting it with patience and grace. It backs away slowly, eyes never leaving yours but ears dashing back and forth as if trying to work out where some distant concert was being held. Khami takes this opportunity for a breather before he again whips his chain into action.  Behind you, Skvababt and her wolf continue their deadly dance. She has loosened her quiver and is trying to bop it on the nose like one would b naughty puppy (if one were a terrible person) to little effect. The wolf is making a spirited attempt to tear out her esophagus. Neither have much success. From the small crater the new alpha emerges, the remains of the Dire's head clenched in its jaws almost comically what with the difference in size and temperament. Thick blood is running down the alphas neck, matting it's fur a dark and evil red. It's eyes are black as coal. It's claws trailing miasma.  But, as it turns out, it is not the only contender for the throne.  From the canopy screeches a Niddler, monkey-claw hands perfectly evolved for snatching poorly guarded prizes. The grand-standing alpha is taken completely by surprise, losing its grip on the head it had sought to only safeguard from ground based foes by intimidation alone. But the Niddler is too stupid or stubborn for fear, knowing only spite and survival. It flaps awkwardly at the immense weight pulling it down, a feast for sure for it's family. Actually no, scratch that. A feast for itself. Let all others starve. Speaking of others, here comes the swarm, attracted to the battle by a poor sense of timing and a strong sense of greed. One wolf copse is immediately scavenged by a Niddlerian vanguard as two more sickly looking youths instantly break into fighting over the third. In total, six more Niddlers descend into the fight bringing the total to an even ten. The ones who came too late take to harassing all the previous combatants mostly equally, but it is clear from their movements that they will take advantage of any perceived weakness if it means even an scrap of flesh to their future menu. They have yet to notice your donkey, though not as much for it's prowess at stealth (it has none) but rather that dead food takes precedent over living food, if only slightly. -- 1: You worry that all this racket will only bring more monsters to your location. You worry that the fliers might decide to side with the wolves. You worry, but in the end you decide to.. A: with Khami at your side, rescue Skvababt and regroup, hoping the wolf you are fighting busies itself with the Niddlers. B: With Khami, dispatch the wolf before it causes more trouble and hope the Niddlers go for the fresh copse over your face. C: With Khami, cull some Niddlers to bring back order to the battlefield. D: Split up, letting Khami deal with his foes as he sees fit in the chaos as you make for ##Nåzom Stėgeth## before your donkey shakes itself lose and absconds with it. E: Something else? Write-in.
