In which we learn the magic of the word 'ready'
Arkan steps forward, softly vocalizing toward the wolves, attempting to seem as harmless as possible, but their demeanor seems not to change. It's obvious that they're simply very hungry, and very desperate.
The three wolves leap at you to attack, beginning a cascade of readied actions. Grinder fires a crossbow bolt into the lead wolf's chest, causing it to yelp in pain, but not slowing it down. Nojin rushes forward toward the leader, slashing with the axe end of his urgrosh and cutting a huge gash in its neck. It falls and lays silently.
Baril fires his shortbow at the wolf nearest him, catching it a glanding blow on its side. Nylarra runs forward with her rapier and dagger at the ready, and thrusts her rapier deep into the belly of the leftmost wolf, felling it.
Tuli tosses a dagger at the remaining wolf, but the dagger lands at the wolf's feet, missing it completely. Grunlor moves forward and slashes at the final charging wolf, slashing its front leg.
The wolf, seeing Grunlor as its nearest enemy, lunges to bite him, but its teeth clank against armor, leaving but a small dent. Brevin, moving a bit forward, swings at the beast and misses as it dodges away from him.
The remaining wolf is still growling at you, though it's looking very winded and is bleeding badly from its leg. Its two companions are down, though Arkan and Brevin both notice they're still breathing, and seem to have simply fallen unconscious from the stresses of the attacks.

Casar: I see no reason you shouldn't be able to ready a partial charge unless you are forced into a single action for the round, but note that (1) by the rules, you actually can't do so--I'm rule-zeroing that as of now, but be careful with other DMs--and (2) in any charge action, you may only take a single attack.
Manzanita: It didn't work, but kudos for thinking out of the box instead of automatically attacking... and 25 bonus XP.
Y'all rolled incredibly well here, though it didn't help that I rolled a whopping 2 for init for the wolves. Everyone acts in the same order next round, though technically everyone is now at Init 3 except for Arkan. Of course, one good hit should take care of ending this combat.
[DM grumbles] Next time, we send out the well-fed wolves...
