COMBAT - ROUND 1
One of the beasts springs upon Kyranvik, and all the warrior sees are claws and fangs. But his heavy armor protects him, and none find his flesh.
Taking a small leather loop out of his pouch, Ares calls
“Rihuf Lema’la”, the small loop disintegrate in his hand, in an instant, Ares begin to float upward and out of the reach of the wolves.
[sblock=For Strahd]
Ares does indeed recognize these beasts as werewolves. He has studied them extensively, and knows all of their strengths and weaknesses.
OOC: Strahd, feel free to look up anything you need to know in the Monster Manual/SRD, as Ares knowledge check was high enough for full knowledge.

The second wolf engages Drelkat, and one claw manages to penetrate the cleric's armor, leaving bloody furrows along his left bicept.
Another wolf tears at Donner, clawing past the Sealord's defenses, and leaving bloody wounds upon the man's flesh.
"By all that's holy!" exclaims Delkat as the wolf-creatures attack. He steps backwards, away from the wolves threatening himself and invokes a prayer to his goddess to ward himself, along with his new travelling companions, against any evil advances. As he completes his prayer, those close to him feel the warmth of the sun wash over them.
The wolfmen were upon the group before Ryan could introduce himself to the stranger. He draws his greatsword as soon as he can react. Not knowing the nature of these foes, he has to assume the worst, and uses some of his arcane power, saying the words to infuse his sword with a charge of electricity while swinging it. He strikes the entangled wolfman near the neck, a mighty blow that would bring down all but the toughest opponent, as electricity surges into the monster. The thing's twitching body collapses to the ground.
Esmerelda takes one step away from the snarling creature who is now directly in front of her.
"Oh great and worthy gods of nature, protect us from these unnatural creatures before us!" she says with a graceful wave of her hand, pulling some small flowers from a pouch and throwing them to the ground.
Kay'el steps forward and tries to gain the attention of the two wolfmen to the west, his walking stick suddenly up and twirling as he snaps it back and forth between the two.
"Come now, you overgrown pups, pick on somebody your own size." The elf quirks a small smiles for the first time in days as a potential challenge presents itself. His staff strikes each of the two wolfs soldily, but doesn't appear to even phase the creatures.
Seeing that Kay'el has moved from his position, Donner slides into his place and starts to call down the Bahari's fury.
"OH GREAT STORMLORD, BRING DOWN YOUR MIGHT TO SMITE THY ENEMIES!"
[sblock=For Nebten]
Donner knows that the group is facing werewolves, but he knows nothing of their strengths and weaknesses. He knows only the basics.
Also, Donner does recognize that Drelkat follows Aditi, the Goddess of the Sun.

Sarryx steps off the path and again opens his mouth wide, blasting forth another red line of energy from his mouth. The line catches two of the enemies in its path, the red flames do not linger this time. He tries to recall anything he might have heard about these particular foes.
[sblock=For Sarryx]
Sarryx knows that the party faces werewolves. While he doesn't know everything, he knows that they are resistant to normal weapons...only weapons crafted of silver. His breath, however, seems to work just fine.
[/sblock]
Kyranvik brandishes his greatsword and calls upon his psychic ability to fuel his strike. The sword strikes hard, drawing blood...but not causing nearly as much damage as it would have to a human opponent.
