Message: <blockquote data-quote="Binks" data-source="post: 6508107" data-attributes="member: 6775039">I'm on the run, lighting out after Otthor the moment he accelerates toward the goblins and the converging wolf packs.  I trust him to take out the left alpha so my eyes focus only on the other pack and the large wolf with the dyed flank leading that charge.  With the wax in my ears, I've heard nary a sound by the rhythm of my own breath and the song of my string as arrows fly from it.  Its poetry.[sblock]Volley (Dex) on the right alpha2, 4 + 2 (+ 1 from prior DR) = 9d8 damage = 7 - 1 armor = 6 damageI'll choose to put myself in danger rather than less damage or Ammo loss[/sblock]There is no time.  I don't even think of stopping.  I need to get to that pack, assert my will over them and lead them from this place, restoring their senses.  My bow is on my back and my short sword and longknife are in my respective hands as I run long adjacent to the goblins to menace and command the wolves through the primal magic of my bestial tatoo. [sblock]Defy Danger (Wis)6, 2 + 2 = 10[/sblock]From the depths of my throat comes a terrifying howl that shivers the spine of man and beast alike.  It ends in a snarl meant to belly up any wolf that will oppose me.  My eyes are demonic.  My weapons are fangs.  My promise is strength, safety from the whispers that steal the will of their primal spirits, and that they will not know hunger while I lead them.[sblock]Leader of the Pack (Wis)4, 6 + 2 = 12They follow your lead for now and I choose:* You fill them with vigor, restoring their vitality and sanity.* Half of the pack doesn't flee in terror at your mighty presence.[/sblock]EDIT  [MENTION=6696971]Manbearcat[/MENTION] , I forgot to advise that I'm immediately taking the wolves out of the settlement until I can find a location or distance where they no longer show signs of being under the thrall of the curse that is on this place.  I'd also like to make note of when I stop hearing those whispers.  It may help us triangulate precisely where they are coming from.  I'll pop my head in our shelter and get Rawr and the dog.  Both of them need to acclimate to these new members of our pack anyway!  If Rawr is stubborn and appears to need continued rest, I'll let him rest.  He is going to have to get his big, fat bear butt up pretty soon though as we aren't going to be here much longer!I'll let Otthor know my plans.  He can communicate with the goblins and investigate the ruined settlement further.  If he wants to wait until I get back to check out the cellar, he can do so.  If we need to make a scene of this, let me know.</blockquote>
