Morik cursed and charged the wolves instead, rather than adding to the confusion with his entanglement. The hit and run tactic of the wolves were difficult to follow, but Morik glimpsed a few and charged one.

Princes moves over to Wolf B trying to distract it from the horses as she attacks it with her longsword and with word she gives Gavath healing.
OOC:
Princess moves to Wolf B. Attacks two handed with longsword and hits with an 18 doing 5 slashing damage. Bonus action casts healing word on Gavath for 5 points of healing.

As the wolf nips at him and tries to dart away, Adran will attempt to rip the arrow free!
OOC:
There aren't really mechanics for this, but it makes more sense than slapping a wolf on the ass.

Rolled a 14.
Strength is +0, Dexterity is +4, Proficiency is +2.
Could be a 14, could be a 20, could be in between.
Adran will put the arrow in his off hand (assuming he snagged it) and draw his dagger, readying himself to meet the next wolf as it darts in.
OOC:
Readied action to attack when a wolf attacks either himself or a horse within range.

Edit: Nevermind.

ROUND ONE, completed
Bramlin throws at a wolf in the herd, but misses with his javelin.
Elowin looses an arrow, hits Wolf B for 5 piercing damage!
Adran plucks the arrow from Wolf A's flank, dealing it 1 damage!
Wolves run under the wagons (A and B under Findal's wagon, one under Turighe's), giving them half cover from people adjacent to the given wagon on the ground (effective AC 19), and total cover from anyone who does not have line of sight to the underside of the wagon.
OOC:
Note that I've completed the original round one post with these results, too.

ROUND TWO
Morik runs in to attack the snarling Wolf A with his shillelagh, striking it despite its position under Findal's wagon, dealing 6 bludgeoning damage! The wolf is knocked out and falls motionless!
Bramlin leaps off of the wagon (causing it to rock under Elowin's feet again) and tries to attack Wolf B in melee with his greatsword, but it has dodged under a wagon!
Elowin has no shot on the wolves, as they are under wagons. She could catch two of them with faerie fire, but it would also catch Bramlin and some of the horses. She could instead use her move to climb down off of the wagon to get a shot (or attack in melee). A third option is for her to scan for other threats: there might be more wolves. Let me know if you choose to do any of these things.
Adran draws his dagger and prepares to attack a wolf, but they're no longer there! Adran realizes that this is strange behavior for pack hunters...they're not attacking out of hunger, for they left both the wounded horse and mortally-wounded groom.
Seeing the glint of eyes under Turighe's wagon, Gunter runs up, drawing his weapon with both hands, and tries to hit Wolf C under the wagon with his warhammer! Wolf C is taken by surprise as the hammer strikes right between the eyes, dealing 8 damage!
The merchants and drivers nervously cluster closer around the fire.
Wolf B attacks Bramlin, Wolf C attacks Gunter. As they are not close enough to each other, they do not get the benefit of pack tactics, and striking out from beneath the wagons is as awkward for them as it is for the PCs attacking them: both wolves miss their targets!
Princess heals Gavath, who takes a long shuddering breath of relief and passes out from the shock of his near-death experience. Then the bard strides over to Findal's wagon, pushing past the horses while drawing her sword, to attack Wolf B. But it is too well-protected under the sturdy wagon, and her stabs and slashes do not connect with canine flesh.

There was something strange with these wolves, it's as if they're attacking for fun, not for food to survive, or perhaps attacking under someone's control--or they weren't natural wolves at all. Those thoughts swirled in Morik's head as he caught Bramlin running, and rushed after his old comrade to help him.

The third round of combat begins!

Both Morik and Bramlin lean down and swing and stab their weapons at Wolf B under Findal's wagon, but the canine manages to avoid the attacks!

What do Elowin, Adran, Gunter, and Princess do?

If they are still conscious by the time their turn arrives, the wolves will be making their attacks in turn on Bramlin and Gunter (both miss, even allowing for my miscalculating Wolf C's attack modifier).

Elowin jumps off the wagon and stabs the wolf under it, with her slender elven blade. As she withdraws it, there is a long string of red droplets slung off the blade. Seven droplets lands in a line across her face.

Adran holds his position, protecting what horses he can while observing the odd behaviors of this pack. Perhaps one (or more) isn't what it seems? Or there is another variable nearby?

The oddness of the wolves behavior is what has the elf most intrigued.

Yeah, still round three. However, you can post your round 4 actions now if you like, or wait for round three to complete (so you know the situation going into the fourth round).

With four of the six PCs acting, I'll continue shortly.

ROUND THREE, CONTINUED

Elowin leaps down, easily slowing her fall with a hand (so that she doesn't take falling damage) and landing by her companion Morik. Drawing her blade, she lunges and skewers Wolf B for 11 piercing damage. Wolf B is out.
Her brother Adran, alert for danger in amongst the horses, readies an attack for a wolf that doesn't come, and wonders about their behavior. This is not normal behavior for pack hunters...unless they've been trained!
Gunter, still fighting the third wolf, attacks it with his hammer! Wolf C is brained by the cleric and subsides under the wagon.
Over the cries of relief from the merchants, Morik hears a giggle and looks sharply at his companions. What was that? Was that one of the merchants? He doesn't recognize the voice.
Not having heard this over the celebratory din, Princess takes stock of the situation. There were three wolves, and all three have been defeated.
There is a squeaking of wheels and Belany gives an incoherent yell amidst the others' cheers and congratulations.

Round three has ended. What will you do in round four? Bramlin described attacking a wolf, but since all the wolves have been defeated, feel free to amend that declaration.

Morik looked about, still confused by the strange sound he heard. All the wolves had been taken care of, but that giggle kept his alert on high.

"‘Ware!" He screamed out. "There’s still something out there. I heard it! Light up everywhere you can so everyone can see better!" His eyes darted about, looking for any signs of the possible threat.
Feb 17, 2024 2:23 pm
On alert, Bram begins lighting torches. He grasps his greatsword in one hand, shoulders it, and begins lighting up the immediate area for all to see.
OOC:
Round 3 and 4, Bram lights torches. Esp if we have sconces set up, so we don’t have to physically hold them.
