Round 1
[ooc: It's been 24 hours, I'll go ahead and rule that Felkhourn readies an action...Chauzu, if you need to withdraw from the game, let me know please]
Howling fills the air and the wolves charge the area, slavering and wild-eyed, they have you practically surrounded. Felkhourn draws her bow and points it in a westerly direction [ooc: assume you were headed north for my directional references]. She looks through the brush and trees and waits for a clearer shot.
The wolves in the southwest corner charge the circled allies. One (D6) stops short of the group and lunges at a spot in the brush barely missing what lay there. The other two continue their charge, the catman (C1) reinforces his longspear awaiting the blow he knows is coming. One of the wolves (D5) slams into his readied longspear and is cut badly. The wolf recooperates and bites towards the catman's legs, latching on, but not able to bring him down. The other wolf (D4) will succeed in tripping the man and bringing him to the ground thrashing his head wildly in an attempt, it appears, to rip the man's leg off.
From the eastern side, three more come in snarling and howling with glee. One (D1) charges a catman (C3) with spear readied and wildly runs into the spear. The catman, however, has his leg ensnared in the wolve's maw, and is brought to the ground in one swift movement. The other two charge at another catman (C4). The first (D2) also slams into an awaiting spear, but is successful in grabbing the man's leg and bringing him to the ground. The other (D3) pounces atop the fallen catman and easily tears into his body. As this wolf was running up, Felkhourn fired two well placed arrows [ooc: almost max damage] into the wolf's body.
Three more howls sound from the south east as the ambush completes. The first wolf onto the battlefield (C7) aims at a readied catman (C6) whose spear bends and falls to the side, unable to get past the wolve's tough hide. The wolf grabs the catman by the leg and pulls him to the ground, thrashing wildly. The next wolf (D8) charges the awaiting Alsavian, whom sets his spear against the charge with practiced ease. This wolf is severely injured by the expert manuevering of Alsavian's spear. The last wolf (D9) charges the catman next to Alsavian (C5) and attempts to dodge the spear of the awaiting catman, but to no avail. This wolf bites the catman on the leg and attempts to drag him down, but is still somewhat shocked from his wound to succeed at the task.
Zyrial readies his sling and fires at the first wolf to enter his line of sight (D4) but the shot goes wide and misses the agile wolf.
Ulysses realizes that the wolves appear somewhat intelligent, as their staggared entry into the battlefield implies. He draws his bow and fires an arrow into the closest one to him (D1). His arrow hits home and the wolf cries out in a whining voice and looks at Ulysses, snarling.
Ellar pulls out a scroll and reads it, as a swirling mist surrounds him, he leaves the area quickly and quietly.
The catmen look like a well-oiled machine when fighting the wolves. The felines on the ground (C1, C3, C4) drop their spears and attack with deadly force. One catman (C4) nearly rips the throat out of a wolf (D3)who is atop him, and the wolf is bleeding badly. The other catmen who are still on their feet break free of the jaws that hold them and attack with their spears in a most useful fashion. They know that they cannot use their spears upon opponents that are too close, so they position or attack opponents that they can do great harm with their spears. (C2 attacks D4, C6 attacks D5, C5 attacks D7) Alsavian takes a step back and whirls his longspear into action. Two quick jabs at the wolf on top of his companion (D3) has only half the success he was hoping for. The wolf receives a major wound to the midsection and is bleeding badly. It appears that it does not have the heart for further conflict this day.
Zykovian draws his rapier and leaps between two catmen, just as the wolves arrive. A small buzzing sound is heard only for a moment as he stands there, ready to defend/attack for his group.
