He looks at Luthal catching his breath. “Yes! I'm gonna try to flank this piece of animal crap!” ”Distract him all you can” “If you fall again I'm gonna try to entertain him by moving away and teas him”
He yaws to Luthal and starts flanking the beast with his spear ready to strike again.
OOC: Retconning the forgotten AoO (sorry DarkMaster), the wolf takes 6 additional points of damage before we slide into the top of Round 4.
**********
With Luthal's attack dropping the wolf in front of him, Zook spins around to help out Kolarred. He sees the other wolf at the base of the horse... shaken and wounded, but still snarling and snapping at both horse and rider. The changeling sees his opportunity and sprints across the open ground with his spear held high... moving in right behind the wolf opposite the horse and...
Sneak Attack ((Spear [17] + 4 + 2 = 23)) *HIT* ((Damage [7] + [7] = 14))
...plunges the spear DEEP into the rear quarters of the dire wolf. The wolf gives one final yelp of surprise and pain, and then drops to the ground... still breathing, but uncoscious. Luthal rushes over and lifts his battleaxe and delivers one final killing blow, cutting the neck of the beast.
Kolarred wheels his stallion around to look across the battlefield, and sees a number of dire wolves still in combat with members of the Steel Talons. He gallops off to help various members, and both Luthal and Zook join in as well to help finish off the battle.
>>>>>
Another few minutes later, the battle has ended. The corpses of most of the dire wolves lie strewn about the campsite, and a number of Talons report that at least two of them took off after suffering grave injuries. All told... twelve Talons were injured, two are unconscious, and one is dead. Durgan is able to stablize the two that were unconscious and bleeding heavily with a liberal dose of what is presumably a healing potion. Unfortunately nothing can be done for the orc who was killed.

Zook goes between the two camp fires picking up his crossbow. He sees around him “we should burn the corpses right now” he gets the legs of one of the dire wolf pulling him towards the fire. “hey Luthal good fighting!” he smiles “man i thought for a second that the wolf where going to snap you in two” “please, give me a hand over here with this piece of crap here” he stops the pulling making a air of thinking “are you any good making food?” “Are these beast eatable?” the sudden vision of the dead orc makes Zook stopp fooling around making a little pray.
He then looks over to Kolarred “Kolarred how are your horse?” “I saw it get some serious bites” “you are ok right?”.

Luthal grimaces in pain, sitting on a log near the fire. He opens up his pack and pulls out a couple of potions, carefully wrapped in a sheepskin for protection. He smiles through the pain at Zook's banter. Not bad for our first real fight, he thought. Zook did pretty well with that spear, and I would hate to be on the pointy end of that lance. After drinking a few of the potions, he stands and helps Zook with the bodies of the wolves.
"You are right, Zook. We should get these taken care of. We don't need scavengers around camp while we sleep." He helps Zook pull the bodies onto the fire that lies downwind. "Everything gonna be okay, knight?" He glances at Kolarred's bleeding thigh.
Once the wolves are disposed of, he approaches Durgan. "Sorry for yer loss. Good thing we were together on this, it could have been worse."

Kolarred unmount and slowly lay his and on the neck of his horse. A sudden healing energy flow from his hand and quickly heal the horses injury (lay of hand 8pts)
He turns towards the other and ignoring the pain from his injury he replies "Everything Ok here, my horse got hurt badly though."
He then walk back, standing straight as if he was completly uninjured. Blood can be seen flowing from his thight thru his armor, but Kolarred years in the military taugh him to ingnore such minor "scratch". He looks around at the casualty. "Durgan your compagnion fought bravely and deserves a proper burial. Hopefully your next article will tell the world how honorably this warrior died."
Kolarred makes a small religious gesture and put his hand on the head of the orc. He whisper softly "You deserve to rest in peace, may the god gives you a place at their side." He stand up and starts to dig a small grave for the deceased.

After a long day with almost been caught lying in the gate, attempts of assassination, friends that came and oddly left, ride like a storm, fight dire wolfs and non less burn a lot of corpses. “what a day” comments Zook out in the cold air. He sees as Luthal take some potions feeling much better, and Kolarred healing his horse, don't even noticing his own wounds, he even make a simple ceremony for the dead Orc.
Just one more thing to do. He walk to the road picking up his horse and Luthal's ones back at the camp, he lies down besides the camp fire, falling instantly asleep. He dreams about being famous that night.

Luthal is touched by the paladin's respect towards a fallen orc. If I took the time to bury every orc I've seen fall, I would still be diggin' holes today, he thought. With a shrug, he walks over and starts to help Kolarred with his axe, breaking up the dirt with his axe.

As Luthal approaches Kolarred to help him with the corpse. "I've fought to many battles were brave warrior fell and never even got a taught. There body was left rotting in the field only to be eaten by crow, rats and insects.
He lowers his head and finishes digging in silence praying for the fallen orc.
