Raxin will dash to stay ahead of the wolves (north again).
You dash north and hear the same footsteps as Shake did at the last moment as you almost collide with what appears to be a horse racing from deeper in the woods!
Also running away from the wolves is a centaur, her body similar to that of a bay horse -- mostly brown with black points (tail and from the hooves up to approximately the knee.) Her skin is a deep tan her hair is shaved on one side, long, tangled black locks falling over her right eye and ear like a mane. She raises a great axe as Raxin nearly runs into her, rearing up on her hind legs expecting a wolf and preparing to attack until she realizes that's not a wolf. Dropping back to all fours she glares at him, one brown eye and one blue, the blue one partially covered by her hair. "Watch where you're going." And she'll continue to run from the wolves.
Raxin grumbling to himself (not exactly quiet) If I was not drained from the earlier encounter I would kill your sorry excuse for a horse for running into me...
You reach the gate and find a humanoid figure motioning for you to “run!” frantically. He is quite intimidating in appearance, but looks like he is trying to help you...
@SDC please describe what/who Shake sees...
Shake sees a beast- like creature. He has to be 7' tall and somewhere between 300 and 350 lbs. His brown fur is covered in a greyish ring mail armor (which when you have time to inspect it up close is made of small circular bones - goblin vertebrae - that has been interlinked and held together with sinew). He has a giant tortise shell shield on his back and is carrying a large battle axe. He has dried bloodly fur on the side of his face where the top of his right ear has recently been injured.
You hear this grunting/growling sound coming from him. He stands there, ready to open the gate as you approach.
{OOC - sorry, I missed Fen's prompt at the bottom of page 18 somehow. I was just followingn along on 19, waiting around for him to prompt me}
The bay centaur appears to have startled the wolves pursing Raxin as they pause for a moment giving him a much needed opportunity.
The two wolves on the road however dash and close the gap with Shake... They are now only 5 ft behind snarling and snapping as they barrel towards their prey.
The werewolves get down on all fours and race northward, but are still far behind the faster dire wolves.
In the forest to the west of the road Gabe quietly makes his way north.
The beast at the gate motions towards Shake urging him to "Run!"
Nikya, Raxin, and Shake only have a short window until the wolves are upon them once again... Gabe you are clear of wolves, but must quickly make it to the gate... what do you all do?
Nikya is running as fast as her four legs can carry her away from the wolves. If she can see any shelter, she'll take it, if not she'll keep running. (And if Raxin calls her a horse again she'll probably try to trip him and let the wolves eat him.)
Ralg is looking out for others being chased by the wolves. If he sees the Centar or the human, then he prevents Shake from closing the gate too early. If he does not see the human (because of his stealth) or the Centar because of positioning, then he will let the gate close.

The wolves on the road race towards the gate hot on Shake's heals. They come to a sliding halt however as they see the black iron and the house that stands about 50' behind it...
The wolves glower and growl at Ralg and the panting Shake standing behind the open gate, but do not attempt to move forward...
The wolves trailing Raxin and Nikya continue to follow, but do not dash as they too see the fence up ahead in the woods. The werewolves continue running northward along the road, while Gabe remains hidden beneath the shade of a large pine tree to the west.
Gabe you can also make out the fence line now in your part of the woods (the fence runs the length of the map. The only entrance though appears to through the gate that stretches across the road.
Gabe will move up 30 Ft to that last tree before the fence, he will use his action to reload his gun and wait a see how the situation at the gate plays out.
Raxin and Nikya make it through the gate being held open by Ralg. The wolves race towards the gate and form a defensive line before it snapping and snarling at you.
As the gate closes the wolves all leap forward. You see the droplets of spittle hit the ground from their gnashing teeth. They all stand there snarling at you for a long moment, then in unison tilt their heads back and release long deep howls. To your surprise once they finish their malevolent song... they simply turn around and stalk southward whence they came..

Gabe will Dash 60ft forward attempting to stay behind trees and when done moving try and be behind cover of some kind

Shake will dash behind the Gate and if there appears to be any chance that the wolves will follow him in he will close the gate.

Raxin, seeing the "pack" closing in will dash north in an attempt to stay ahead of the monstrosities.

is the fence climbable? or only way in is thru the gate?

You can attempt to climb it with an athletics check [DC 10].

Raxin moves to the road and fence area to pass through the gate if possible.

If the gate is closed, Nikya will try to jump the fence to get away from the wolves (if it's of a reasonable height to be jumped by a centaur)

Raxin and Nikya make it through the gate being held open by Ralg. The wolves race towards the gate and form a defensive line before it snapping and snarling at you.
Do you close the gate?
Gabe has a stealth role that beat Ralg's perception, so he will close the gate once the two he can see are through.
