(OOC Antheos: Having connection difficulties, I presume? If possible, I'd like to post as soon as you can...in the meantime, I guess I'll have to run Antheos as a temporary NPC...hope you don't mind...)

Jonah,
The spellcasting elf clutches at his chest and drops to the ground; you can see him twitching, apparently not quite dead, but not at all well.
Your eyes, meanwhile scan the seemingly impenetrable fog and thick foliage beyond the clearing.
Behind you, Captain McCrenshaw and Antheos are involved in a confused tangle with a pair of overly large wolves.
(OOC: Spot check, please.)

(OOC All: I apologive for my absence; I have been rather busy of late, but I think that now that's done with, I'll probably be able to post at least once a day again...)
Jonah,
You can see nothing in the fog. No more arrows fly your way this time, however; the elf could be lying low and trying not to attract attention.
Behind you, a small pandemonium informs you that Antheos and the Captain are still fighting off the wolves.
(OOC: Spot and Listen checks, please...also, a Knowledge: Arcana or Use Magic Device check, if you have either skill.)
(OOC Antheos: If you haven't posted by tomorrow, I'm going to have to take over your character as a temporary NPC, at least until your return...no offense, but you're really slowing things down, here...)

Jonah,
You can hear a chanting somewhere off to your left in the fog, which, with your store of knowledge on matters arcane, you recognize as the first syllables of an Expeditious Retreat spell, or at the least the wild-elf, non-University-standard, version thereof.
You are unable to pinpoint exactly where the elf is by hearing, but you can see, just for one moment, a flurry of motion in the dark, mist-shrouded forest, coiciding with the whispered spell.
Behind you, you hear Captain McCrenshaw shout, a wolf growl, then a sickening crunch that sounds like bone snapping. A few drops of liquid spatter against the back of your neck.
(OOC: If you decide to take the shot, the elf with have 3/4 [75%] concealment...I'll roll the miss chance myself.
Also, Antheos will not be returning for another week and a half or so...)

Jonah,
Your bullet misses the wolf by a rather wide margin. However, it does allow Captain McCrenshaw time to stab it. It turns on the Captain and knocks him down, jaws snapping at his cutlass arm.
Antheos is literally grappling with the other wolf. It has seized him and pinned him by the shoulder, biting deep enough to snap the bones. Antheos, despite his pain, retaliates by thrusting a slender, silvery rapier which he seemed to produce from his instrument into the wolf's snout. This only infuriates the wolf further, however, and it shakes him like a rage doll, sending another spray of blood flying through the air.
When your light globes arrive on the scene, they hover around the wolf attacking Antheos, zipping in front of its eyes and even once passing through the wolf's snout. It growls with irritation and swats at them with a paw, dropping Antheos in the process.

Jonah curses his aim and starts to reload the pistol again, at the same time trying to continue harassing the wolves.
(if nothing earth-shattering happens, this is the action for round after this) When he has reloaded the pistol, he once again tries to shoot the damn wolf.
OOC: Attack roll 18 + 3 = 21
Damage roll: 5

Jonah,
This time, your shot hits home, and you can see blood on the wolf's right foreleg, apparently a fairly serious wound. The leg buckles, and wolf very nearly trips. It growls and tries to bite one of the light globes again, but Antheos stabs it with his rapier, causing it to worry at his wounded shoulder all the more viciously.
Meanwhile, Captain McCrenshaw heads up to the wounded wolf and grabs its tail.
"Over here, y' mangy stray," he shouts. The wolf turns around and looks at him quizzically, and he unloads both of his pistols into its face. The wolf backs away unsteadily, then slumps to the ground, dead.
The Captain spits on the wolf's corpse and turns to reloading his pistols as well.
