The adventures approach the bodies and spread out. Hanns and Simon move up for a closer look while Trent and Belenda stay towards the rear. As Hanns searches one of the bodies, he notices differences in the some of the wounds that might indicate a cause of death other than that of being mauled; however, not having any experience in the healing arts leaves him guessing. At this point, all the big warrior discovers is that the dead dwarf is wearing a tattered tunic belonging to a Sentinel. Simon gets to work moving the bodies, bestowing each with a prayer for their eternal souls as he does, and soon has the door way clear. Trent’s observation pays off as he perceives movement at the feet one of the statues. Two pairs of feral eyes gleam out at the adventures from behind the graven images.
__________________Wolves! Another darker wolf-shape roams farther away among the nearby gravestones, but does not approach. The two smaller ones do though, catching all but Trent off guard. They leap out of the shadows and charge their intended victims, not giving the ranger time to warn his companions. Relying on this skill with the bow, Trent lets loose two shots at the first wolf as it pounces towards Hanns. Both arrows find their mark, but do little to slow the beast down. As it reaches Hanns, the wolf lunges at him with its razor sharp teeth, but the warrior is able to avoid the blow. The second wolf makes it all the way to Simon with little trouble and it too lunges out at its target. Caught completely off guard and flat-footed, Simon sees the wolf only after it is too late. It seems, however, the priest is lucky this day as he is able to deflect the beast with his shield. Both beasts lick their chops as they circle around for another round of attacks… Last edited by TPasq98; 05-29-2009 at 12:01 PM. |

Trent mentally marks himself two tic marks as his arrows flew true though not doing that much at least he hit his mark. He reloads his bow and takes aim. Right before he let loose the string a darn fly started buzzing in his ear causing him to lose focus on his trained target which he had hat just moments before. Swatiing at the fly he reliezed to late that he let loose the arrow. It flew toward the wolf sure enough but hit in the dirt a couple feet short and to the right, sending up a small spray of dirt as the arrow head planeted itself into the dirt. Trent let out a spew of curses in elven as he finishes shoing of that fly.

Benelia fumbles for her sling stones and then decides that she had best try some magic and then find the stones. With that she points at a wolf, mutters some arcane words and a small blob of acid appears...

Trent is quick once again with his bow, however, the distractions of battle proved to get the better of him this time as the arrow flies short of its mark. His disappointment was short lived, however, as his companions all battled back with ferocity. Engaged with one of the smaller wolves, Simon uses his shield to push his attacker back and counters with his mace, grazing the beast. Belinda takes aim at the same wolf with an acid spell; however it too flows wide barely grazing the beast. It whimpers with pain but lunges out at his foes none the less, but this time the cleric was ready and he easily deflects the beast’s attack.
__________________Hanns unleashes a mighty swing, catching the wolf standing before him off-guard. His swing cuts completely through the wolf, decapitating it at the shoulders. He then turns with the speed of an experienced warrior and closes the distance between himself and the larger beast still circling the perimeter. As he closes on the large beast, it snarls with an unintelligible curse and lunges with an attack of its own. Once again, however, the warrior’s skill is too great for his enemy and he easily dodges its fangs. Last edited by TPasq98; 05-29-2009 at 12:04 PM. |

Trent angered at his last attempt looks at the small wolf and decided it is well taken care of turns and takes aim at the larger wolf. He squints and his breath slows as he Releases his first arrow and watching it strike true. The arrow solidly imbeds itself into the wolf sending a small splirt of blood splashing on the warrior's shield. Trent smiling to himself quickly draws another arrow and looses it, the whole action seemed to be nothing more then a blur. This arrow flew as true as the other, but imbeds itself toward the rump of the beast causing it yip in pain again. Looking up at his handy work the world to now seem to catch up to his actions.

Simon exhanged feinting lunges with the wolf, slowly circling it. Thinking he saw an opening, Simon swung his mace upward, attempting to slam it on the wolf's chin. "Let's finish these quickly, before they do any damage to us."

Watching the warriors work Benelia is tempted to use her more powerful spells, but the flames could hit her companions. That would not do, so she sighs and pulls out a sling stone and tosses it with a decent amount of skill.

Simon's upswing is perfectly timed and his mace connects with the beast's lower jaw with a sickening crunch. The force of the blow kills the wolf instantly and it crumbles to the ground. Just as Hanns deftly dodges the worg's attack, Trent draws his bow string and takes aim. With the skill found only in those with elven blood, he releases arrow after arrow, both finding their mark. The worg, heavily wounded, turns and snarls at Trent just as Benlia's bullet cracks open its skull. Blood openly flows from the creature's head and it is obvious to all that the battle is over...

Simon looks down at the wolf, and determines that it is indeed dead, and looks around. "Huh. Looks like we learned how to fight pretty decently on our way here. Nobody's hurt." Simon puts his mace away and looks around at the gravestones, attempting to note any out of place shadows. "Heh. I never considered myself much of a fighter. So, shall we enter the mausoleum or should we patrol the graveyard to be sure no wolves ambush us later?"

Trent satified that they did a good job smiles from ear to ear as he fetches his arrows. Even taking his time as he carves the ones that are lodged in the wolves hides.
__________________We'll I think we killed what killed these few people, but something is odd. Even with most wolf kills they would drag the bodies away, these weren't so that makes me think the wolves came here looking for the free meal that a dead body can draw if not taken care of properly. Maybe we need to check those bodies carefully, to see if it was infact a wolf kill or perhap something else. He rambles on as he continues to collect his arrows and resheath them, after a quick check to see if they are to damaged, which he hoped they weren't. |

"Well that was out of nowhere. Guess that they are what the gates are for. And those bodies didn't look mauled to me, so it definitely was not a wolf. To be honest lets just go inside and see if there is anything here. Assuming that these are both the sentinels we still need to find the family and I don't like wasting time.." Fixing himself up he waited next to the door of the mausoleum.

"My knowledge isn't in healing, so I wouldn't be able to tell you much about how they died. But, a quick check to see if they had any information or something that might give us a clue can't hurt."

"Ah, yes, of course, I'll...examine the bodies..." With a look of disdain Simon grabs the bodies and flips them over on their back. He begins lifting arms, examining wounds, checking for causes of death, and before long his demeanor returns and he seems no longer phazed by the dead corpses.
