Baragil

Standing up in the cart, Baragil drew his bow and aimed a shot at the nearest living wolf.

((<KarmaBot> [Alien] rolled "shoot shoot shoot the wolf": (10)+8 = 18.

Haldiel Ameth

Haldiel leaps from his stricken mount, dodging most of the freezing blast in the process.

There'd been no time for planning, no real time for tactics - and Haldiel was already cursing himself for not properly anticipating an ambush at close range while en route. He was so busy recovering from the horse and setting into the wolf beside him that it took a few moments to deal with more than just the direct threat in front of him...

"Valerie, help Dras!"

And then, fighting defensively and arcing his hand in arcane jestures, he brought his blade around in a wide arc just as it lept into flame...

((Arcane Smite, channeling Combust.
Attack: 10+10 = 20.
Damage: 1d8+4+6d8 = (2)+4+(3+4+4+7+4+7) = 29.
With flame vulnerability = 49 damage.
DC 17 reflex save vs catching fire.))

Valerie

Valerie's divine protection saved her from the worst of the flames, and she dropped down from her horse to heal Haldiel of his wounds.

((I posted this earlier, I swear. It must not've stuck. I passed the reflex save, failed the quick dismount, and healed Haldiel for however much he needed from my LoH, which I'll know the amount of once he posts his save.))

DRAS

"TIME TO BURN!" Dras proclaimed, with his right hand executing an arcane gesture, and which burst into flames. He thrust the flaming hand of death right into the wolf's face.

Casting:Combust.
"Defensive Casting": (2)+15 = 17.
"Touch": (20)+4 = 24.
"Confirm Touch": (1)+4 = 5.
"Fire damage": (1+3+6+4+2) = 16.
Reflex DC 17 or catch on fire.

Thorn quickly dismounts her horse so that she is safe from the ice breath, then moves to the left and strikes hard at the wolf.

((Reflex 18, Evasion for none. Ride 11 for Dismount, fail, Tumble 23 to correct, still fail, so move action instead of free to dismount. 5' move, attack roll 16, damage 5.))

Vord stepped to the back of his cart where he would be slightly more safe from breathers, and did his best to look harmless.

Flanking prevention coming up.

Suddenly, without any spellcasting-related movements or glow whatsoever, a wall of flame sprang up to the right of his cart, cutting off the two wolves still standing on that side and singing their fur something wicked.

((Wall of Energy [fire] as close to the two wolves still standing on the right as possible without planting it on them. Gotta give them some incentive not to go through, after all. Base damage 11, Reflex DC 18. The wall is 140 feet long, enough for another ~30 feet on both ends.))

DRAS

Dras, though managed to hurt himself somewhat in the fall, managed to stay on his feet - facing a winter wolf in bad breath range.

"Reflex": (18)+3 = 21.

The attack was sudden, furious, and coordinated. This, the group realized, was the true threat of the winter wolves - hide in the snow and launch a sudden ambush that could wipe out a poorly defended caravan. Four of them attacked at once, spitting cold and biting at the mounts to prevent the travelers escaping, while the other four circled around.

((Cassie, Cassie's pony, Dras, Dras' horse, Thorn's horse are hit by breath weapon for 17 cold damage; Reflex DC 16 half. I'm tracking Cassie and the mounts.
Dras' horse is bitten by Winter Wolf for 19 damage; dies.
Dras fails his Ride check for a soft fall; takes 1 damage from fall.
((Valerie, Valerie's horse, Haldiel, Haldiel's horse are hit by breath weapon for 11 cold damage; Reflex DC 16 half.
Haldiel's horse is bitten by Winter Wolf for 12 damage; is unconscious.
Haldiel succeeds on his Ride check for a soft fall.
Cassie casts Fireball of great justice and both targets fail their saves. ))

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" shouted Cassie, then threw out a spell she had obviously been ready to cast since the beginning of the ride, roasting the two nearest winter wolves into unconscious heaps.

"Do not allow them to flank us!" Dras shouted, scrambling for something within his cloak.

Baragil

After reigning the horses to a halt just behind Cassie's pony, Baragil threw an arm in the air, and a warm burst of magic engulfed the party.

Haldiel breaks into laughter. It sounds like the sort done by refined gentlemen.

"Very good, very good indeed... let's get this little carousel of ours on the road..."

((Aaand Orf we go!))

DRAS

Dras raised an eyebrow at Haldiel. Thereupon, he gestured arcanely, saying "Quack!" and a shimmering field in the shape of a suit of armour was visible around him for a moment before fading into invisibility.

Casting: Mage Armour.
((Yes, let's move this along.))
