Edgar will wait till Gallo is most of the way around, then knock on the door.

Gallo slinks around back, moving up to one of the broken window to peer into the darkness inside.
At the same time, Edgar walks up the low stone steps to the front door, and sees that it has been torn from its hinges.
The scene inside is of bedlam. The shabby furniture has been overturned and broken. Flotsam and jetsam is strewn across the floor. Blood streaks the filthy walls.
From his vantage point at the window, Gallo sees a large wolf menacing the bodies of two apparently dead men. One is the burglar from the bookstore. The other you do not recognize.
[sblock=OOC]Edgar cannot see the wolf or the bodies from his location.[/sblock]

Edgar will walk into the room after knocking three times with his bare fist against the side of the broken entry way. He talks firm and confidently when he asks, "Hey, anyone in here? Chuck? Other guy?"

Creamsteak said:
"No! Get out!" Gallo screams. He knows he'll attract the wolf's attention, but he couldn't let Edgar go in blind. "There's a wolf... and blood everywhere," he shouts again.

Edgar knocks and starts to enter the dilapidated house. Gallo notices the wolf's ears perk up and its head turn at the sound of the knocks. Knowing that Edgar faces danger from the beast, he calls out to his friend.
At the sound of Gallo's voice, the wolf's head snaps around. Suddenly the creature undergoes a rapid transformation. The body becomes more massive and elongates slightly. The front paws become wicked, ripping claws. The animal's snout flattens out and becomes more like a humanoid face, but a monstrous one. The skin and fur become bluish in tint. Finally, the evil, staring eyes begin to glow orange. The creature gives a low, guttural growl.
[sblock=OOC]Use same map as previous post.
C-steak: I don't know how Edgar would have reacted to Gallo's warning, so I'll allow you to start the round wherever you think reasonable.
Initiative:
Gallo 17 + 4 = 21
Edgar 11 + 3 = 14
'Wolf' 3 + 6 = 9[/sblock]

The cry of "wolf" wouldn't do much to discourage Edgar. He's half expecting a dire wolf that just needs a good hug. When he sees what the creature transforms into though, he'll be suitably freaked out.
"Hey rover, that's quite the trick! Now I see that I've disturbed your dinner. I'll just see myself out and come back some other time..." Thoroughly terrified, Edgar takes a step back from the creature while casting a spell to increase his ability to get the hell out of here alive!
Supposing Edgar gets to act before the monster maims him, he'll use a move action to draw his rapier. Then step back (5 ft. step) and cast Cat's Grace on himself while keeping his eyes on the beast. (AC becomes 18)

"What the..." Gallo's heart pounds nearly out of his chest, and he instinctively looses his readied spell on the wolf-thing.

Three glowing red bolts of magical force fly out from Gallo's fingers and slam into the 'wolf'. The creature yelps in surprise and pain. Three dark burn marks appear on its side, and wisps of acrid smoke rise into the air.
Edgar quickly whips out his rapier, takes a step back and casts cat's grace upon himself.
The wolf glares at Gallo with furious orange eyes. It then blinks out of existence. For a second, Gallo is confused as to where the beast has gone. Then he hears a deadly growl coming from directly behind him.
[sblock=OOC]Round 1
Gallo:
Casts magic missile. Dmg (3d4+3) 3 + 2 + 2 + 3 = 10 hp. 'Wolf' reduced to 23 hp.
Edgar:
Draws rapier. Casts cat's grace.
Wolf:
Uses dimension door spell-like ability.[/sblock]

"What the hell was that! Gallo, damn!"
Edgar doesn't want to abandon his friend but he's not in a position to be much help yet. He runs outside, around the south end of the building, and around the corner to where he can see Gallo and the beast fighting.

"Gah!" Gallo instinctively rolls back when he hears the growl behind him. As he comes to his feet, a fiery ray shoots from his outstretched hand toward the wolf.
