Making their way to the edge of Rum Peza holds the others back, informing you that you will move forward at a casual pace as Gerox does his job, scouting ahead with Barratore. For a half hour the two cautiously move forward using the map to make sure they stay on course. Barratore follows closely behind the gnome sorcerer noting nothing usual about his surroundings. No birds singing. No squirrels running nosily through the trees. Nothing that causes him alarm. Without warning Gerox stops in front of him and raises a hand. The growing quiet had caused him to become ever cautious, but that was nothing compared to the sight on the path before him. Numerous wolf prints cross the road here, larger than any wolf he had ever seen. It would appear there really is legendary hunting out this way.
ooc: I know Gerox still wanted to explore ahead, but since I had no rolls for him I used a take 10 on perception.

Barrratore looks at the tracks, very well,large wolves and vampires. The vampires still held the most concern. Barratore nods at Peza, "Vampire is the primary concern. The dogs are just a distraction"

Gerox looks at the others and asks, "Do werewolves and vampires run in packs together? Or do you think that the vampire is taking a wolf form? Or is it a direwolf who could be a pet? Either way this doesn't bode well. This looks like a bunch of tracks for one wolf to make. Do you think their might be more than one?
"I wish Harvest was here. This was more her speciality but I will take a look. (survival roll of 19 to interpret the track trying to see if their are more than one set of animals.)

Brom moves slowly through the forest with the others to give the gnome his chance to do his thing. The babarian keeps his eyes trained on the woods around (perception DC19). The mention of large wolves peeks the barbarian's curiosity because the group never ran into anything like that when they came this way more than a year ago during their surveying mission.

Edson stops his horse short of the tracks. He looks around into the woods. His eyes looking between the trees for anything. He is sure the vampire has his minions watching them, and he doesn't want to blow his cover so he doesn't drop off the horse.

Peza and the others quickly catch up to the scouting party, stopping short of where the fiery gnome stands examining the tracks. Edson stays atop his horse as the young girl watches Gerox's finger trace the distinct paths of a half dozen separate tracks....there may even be more, but with the way the tracks converge it is impossible to tell for sure. "Wolves must be new to the area." Says Brom as he recalls the groups surveying mission across the island. While wolves might have always existed unnoticed on the island it is unlikely a pack this large avoided detection for so long this close to the city.
Barratore dismisses the tracks as being a distraction whereas Gerox wonders if lycanthropes might run together, and if there is a chance these prints might have been left by a werewolf. As he ponders this Peza steps forward and takes in the scene ... "Those are huge." whispers the girl as she studies the tracks. They appear fresh and cross the trail leading into the woods on the other side. Bigger than any wolf she had ever heard about, even bigger than the typical dire wolf. Her eyes then sweep their surroundings ... "Something big and nasty is about and its not alone ... i think there is a few of them .... be ready for an ambush " cautions Peza as the sound of a stick breaking echoes ominously out of sight, the cause hidden by the trees.

"Gang up on the three to the south, put them down and then we can worry about the others!"
Brom lets his barbarian rage take hold. Using his Cleave feat, he strikes out at the large wolf in front of him. Striking the first wolf, his sword swing continues into the wolf next to it. The barbarian lets out a great roar as his BAS strikes home.

As the enormous beasts bare their teeth Gerox launches a fire ball into their mist causing the wolves to yelp in pain. "Gang up on the three to the south, put them down and then we can worry about the others!" he calls out as the smell of charred fur fills the air.
Brom quickly moves forward and strikes out at the large wolf in front of him. The blow hits home and he allows the swing continues into the wolf next to it as he gives a boisterous battle cry. A second later an arrow flies by his head as Edson releases the string on his bow, killing the wolf in front of him.
At the back of the group Barratore grips his sword with his second hand and bears his teeth into a grin. This was going much better than he had hoped with Gerox's fireball explodes and Brom steps forward to engage. Trusting his team, he stays where he is and anchors the groups right flank unleashing on the wolf behind him as it approaches. His next swing hits the dog hard skull, bounces off and swings around to the wolf south of it.
Peza's eyes widen as six huge wolves step from the darkness, but a grin splits her face as she watches Barratore and Brom wreak havoc. Quickly she releases tow shots, the first one burrying seep in its target.
The wolves hackles rise as they are bathed in fire and one of their pack falls under a flurry of attacks. Instantly the move forward, closing in their circle. Two of the wolves target the large minotaur. The first wolf is too slow for its prey, but the second sinks its large teeth into Barratore's thigh. The next to wolves move in after Brom. The raging barbarian's armor saves him from one attack, but wolf 4 finds a gap in his defenses and sinks his teeth into Brom's arm sending a wave of pain traveling up the warriors shoulder. The last wolf, charging out of the fire, lunges at Peza missing by inches as its jaw snaps wildly in the air.
ooc: Unless I am mistaken cleave attacks are a standard action. You only get the one cleave attack and the additional cleave attack against a second target if successful. You cannot make an additional attack against the first target like you would in a full attack. It looks like Barratore tried making 2 attacks against the first wolf and one against the second. I used the crit on the 2nd wolf.

Brom manages to deflect the first attack with a quick turn of his body, but the second wolf breaches his defenses. The wound is not bad, merely a flesh wound.

With half their pack now decimated the wolves howl in anger. Perhaps they were intelligent enough to turn tail and run against such an overwhelming force, but in a matter of seconds it is already too late. Brom steps up on one of the remaining wolves and lays into it wit adrenaline laced laughter as his sword striking the beast over and over again as the blood sprays from every hit.
Edson can feel the magic of Gerox's haste spell course through him and reminds himself to thank Gerox as he lets two arrows fly, the first of which finds its mark causing the gigantic hound to screech in pain.

Gerox holds his magic knowing the battle is over as Peza congratulates the warriors.

All about you the forest is silent, and slowly the subtle noises of wild life return as squirrels skitter from tree to tree and birds once again resume their singing. There is no sign that these creatures were anything more than a feral pack, but their unusual size and strength suggests an outside influence previously unseen and unexplainable on the island. And after a minute of searching, all that remains to be seen is the path to the banquet.

Barratore cleans his blade off on one of the wolves fur sides before sliding it back into its sheath. he opts to leave his shield slung across his back and waits for the order to move. "If our adversaries wanted to see a preview of what we can do, mission accomplished."
The charade that Edson is a lord of any kind might still be intact. He certainly didn't go overboard, but he didn't need to. None of the party was in the slightest bit of danger. Odd the wolves were about the trail like this just running loose. Barratore looks back towards Rum. "How safe are they? We might need to sweep the immediate area about Rum and root everything out.

He speaks to the others while scanning the wolves for magic and says, "I wonder if these were a test? If someone launched them against us to evaluate are strengths and coordination. We might have beaten them to easily if that is the case. If someone is watching, they now know that we can work decently as a team and need to be planned for."

DM James Tuesday June 24th, 2014 12:15:48 PM
As Barratore wipes his blade off he questions whether these creatures were a danger to the citizens of Rum, knowing that an average citizen would stand no chance against a single wolf let alone a hole pack. Peza acknowledges the risk they pose as she examines the tracks and recalls what she can about wolves. As a range she is well aware that wolves sit at the top of the food chain and sleep in the open because they have no predators to fear. When the weather is bad, they may curl up and let snow drift over them to provide extra protection from the elements. She also knows that wolves are ferociously territorial and exceptionally wide-ranging in their hunting ,with wolf packs cover broad areas. There would be no den to find and it is unlikely that another pack of such wolves would be sharing this territory with the one the League Adventurer's slaughtered.
Ever cautious, Gerox casts detect magic and takes a hard look at the wolves. They are much larger than normal, but the only traces of magic he can detect or on the group itself. Where ever they came from was influenced by pure genetics, either brought from another location or a strange cross breed...but there is nothing on the island he could think of that would result in such a species.
"I wonder if these were a test? If someone launched them against us to evaluate are strengths and coordination. We might have beaten them to easily if that is the case. If someone is watching, they now know that we can work decently as a team and need to be planned for." As he says this "Lord Kazil" and Brom continues scanning the area, but there is no indication of anyone in the area watching you and Gerox detects no magical auras that might indicate you are being watched.

Brom draws a vial from his pack and drinks it. As the group continues, Brom maintains his vigil for things that go bump in the night.
"Not hard ta figure us out. We got two lines. Me and Barratore destroy thing up close and the rest support with range fire from behind us. We ain't got any complex strategies. If they're scouting us, what tactic would be hard fer us ta deal with?"

Barratore agrees with Brom, but adds "Does tell them just how effective that basic plan of our is. Also let them know who the two threats are here." He gives Brom a shoulder thump. "Me and fire boy." Barratore chuckles, he cracks himself up sometimes
Barratore is all for moving on as it seems there is nothing more to see here.

Gerox looks at Barratore and smiles, "No worries Brom, my little size tends to put folks off. I can pack a wallop but tend to spend most of my time enhancing you big brutes so I can hide behind you. If I never get in the range of a sword or arrow or claw or teeth, I will be a happy gnome."
