On the last day of the trip, the party heard the sound of wolves howling. They had heard rumors about wolves. They pushed their mounts a little to get to the Helm. The wolves got closer. It was now dark and the moon didn't provide much light."We aren't going to make it," Bernedette said. "Lets make our stand."Bartol dismounted. And led his horse to a more defensible spot. He drew the elven longsword and thrust it in the ground. He then set his long spear to receive a charge. He could just make out the wolfpack, four large worgs with hobgoblin riders.Thane and Bernedette couldn't see them. Bernedette's magical armor coated her once again. Thane did likewise. Alrissian prepared his bow. Timmay called out to Thane when the riders were near. Thane cast his spell to control the tall grasses. One worg was held fast. The rider dismounted. And he too was held. Another rider dismounted. The last two riders spurred on their mounts. The first rider rode by Thane and poked at him with a lance. The other rider struggled thru the tall grass. His mount narrowly missed being spitted on Bartol's spear.Bartol thrust his spear forward into the worg and drew the elven longsword. Alrissian fired 2 arrows into the riderless worg that wasn't held. The 2 dismounted riders, one held and the other free, fired arrows into Alrissian. Thane flung a magical fire at the held worg. K'shar attacked the worg that had ridden past. The rider was thrown, but he tumbled clear and started to rise. Timmay dazed the poor hobgoblin with magic. Bernedette called for a magical friend.K'shar's worg attacked the wolverine. Bartol's worg and rider missed as they rode passed. The rider turned around for another pass. Alrissian's worg closed within range. Bartol's temper rose. He turned and ran after the last mounted worg. He swung low and took the front legs off the creature. The rider had to tumble free as his mount died."Corellon Larethian is with you," Bernedette yelled."Torm be praised," Bartol answered.Alrissian stepped back and fired another 2 arrows into the worg. The two hobgoblin archers fired again at Alrissian. He and the worg were starting to look like pin cushions. The worg missed with its bite. Thane moved over and cast a spell to aid Alrissian. His body slowly started to mend. Bernedette's summoned wolf bit K'shar's worg. K'shar ripped the throat from the worg. He was uncontrollably raging. The held worg broke free of the grass. Bernedette called for another magical friend. Timmay added insult to injury. He cast another spell on the dazed hobgoblin. The hobgoblin stopped everything. It seemed to be thinking. The other hobgoblin drew his sword and fought with Bartol.Bartol missed the hobgoblin. Alrissian stepped back again and ended the worg's life. The last worg took a bite at him. The archers fired again. Thane struck the worg. Bernedette's first wolf joined the druid and ranger. K'shar raged on the stunned hobgoblin. Bernedette went after one of the archers. Timmay plugged the other archer with his crossbow. Bernedette's other friend appeared behind Bartol's hobgoblin, but missed with his bite. The hobgoblin grazed Bartol.Bartol skewered the hobgoblin. He began a search of the bodies. Alrissian missed the worg. The worg fled. Thane finished the held archer with more fire magic. The last hobgoblin threw down his weapon and screamed in hobgoblin. K'shar tried to bite Timmay. Timmay hurried over to translate for Bernedette and get clear of K'shar. Bernedette held her staff menacingly as she waited for Timmay.Thane finally calmed down K'shar. Bernedette bound the prisoner. And Bartol, Timmay, and Alrissian gathered the spoils."Halt who goes there," a familiar voice called. It was Sabine and a small group of guards from the Helm. "We saw some fireworks""Tell Wolf," Bartol grinned. "I have returned."</blockquote>
