#1
Having heard the yelps and howls of the wolves attacking Grimbeorn, the Company had quickly gathered their weapons and raced off to assist the Beorning.

The large man shoved a wolf back with his shield, as it leapt towards his throat. His axe rose in his hand even as the shrubs and trees pushed back revealing his companions - Esgalwen and Arbogast had arrived!

With Nimronyn high overhead, Esgalwen swung it down on a wolf in a ferocious arc.

The pale gleaming sword sliced quickly and cleanly through the wolf's neck and its head tumbled away, while its body fell to the ground dead.

Odds turning in his favor, Grimbeorn gave a feral grin at the pack leader and squared off.

Arriving, breathless and sweat-drenched despite the cold mountain air, Arbogast clashes axe on shield and lays in to the nearest wolf.

#8
The wolf's growl as it dodges the Warden's Axe turns abruptly to a startled yipe as the Fire-watcher follows its movement and slices off one of the beast's ears.  Nearby, another wolf whines in sudden pain as the Dwarf-spells wound about the axe open a wound in its flank.

The battle had shifted. The wolf pack leader knew it, as he smelled his brothers' blood flowing from their dead bodies.

The large wolf gave another guttural snarl and its companions began to disengage. The animal looked directly at Grimbeorn and it let loose a long howl. Answering calls rang out at a distance along the mountain's woodline. There was a message in that call and the Beorning knew it.

The lead wolf quickly turned on the stone and disappeared into the foliage.

:ooc: the two remaining wolves will try to disengage - TN 10+ best Body attribute in party...

The wolves turn to flee, and Arbogast does not consider hindering them.  Further bloodshed would be for nought but its own sake, and the Fellowship has more pressing business.
