Upon seeing some of you return to the road the alpha gives a commanding bark, and the others disengage. They disappear back into the misty forest with the exception of the alpha. He stares at you, and for a brief moments his eyes glow red with inhuman malice. Then the mists envelope him and he's gone.
Salman holds his crossbow and never takes his eyes away from the alpha wolf. When the beast disappears, the ranger finally lowers his weapon. " Alright guys… " He looks away from the forest, facing the road ahead. And… " Run! " Dashes as fast as he can.
@Vur, Gideon
" Vur! Gideon! Are we heading the right direction!? "
Jingles will gather himself in a more or less upright position and join the others as they regroup. “Leaking precious bodily fluids I am,” he says with a wane grin. “So, here’s a question, why did they break off their attack? We were heading towards lunch meat.” Casting a concerned look over his shoulder he continued, “I know little about such creatures, but that sort of behavior is most odd. Any of you gots an idea?”
"Thank you revered mother for watching over us, " Evrik says as things calm down. "If you will it, grant me your strength to help those whose bodies need your care." Evrik then approaches both Jingles and Ray-my making arcane gestures with his hand. "May the life everlasting heal your body and soul"
Tall shapes loom out of the dense fog that surrounds everything. The muddy ground underfoot gives way to slick, wet cobblestones. The tall shapes become recognizable as buildings of a village. The windows of each house stare out from pools of blackness . No sound cuts the silence except for mournful sobbing that echoes through the streets from a distance.
(DM) The Village of Barovia is on Roll20. Your characters are at the eastern edge of the village.
Vur walks in to the village with a sense of determination, while walking down the road he would not be trying to hide, but looking for someone to talk with, even if I find an Inn or Tavern first.
" I have a few ideas. " Says Salman who is still panting from exhaustion. He shows the two envelopes to the rest of the group. " Here, we have two letters. Same signature. Different handwriting. And the totally opposite instructions! " Salmon crushes the letters in his hand. " We have seen two messengers. One had visited us alive and one became a wolf's supper. That means only one thing. We are tricked! Lured and trapped like animals! " When the tide of rage subsides, the ranger examines the letters again and mutters. " What I don't understand is… who took such time and effort to trick mercenaries like us. Do you guys have any ideas?" He asks the others.
Gideon is mostly lost in thought during the trek towards the village, usually acting as rear guard, with his raven scouting above.
"I don't know what to make of all of this. But it sure feels like we're being herded somewhere." He shrugs and his raven croaks a protest, flapping his wings. "I don't like it."
"Thank you for your kind assistance, Evrik," Jingles says. "Those blasted things were a bit painful on first meetings." He grinned. "Now it would seem we are being lead in the manner of a sacrificial lamb to 'slaughter'? At least there is the suggestion of herding us about for some, undoubtedly devious, purpose. Hopefully not to grace something's dinner table as the main course. This place looks rather bleak, if I may say so, and I don't imagine there are any lively entertainment to be easily found so I don't hold out any hope for good grog either."

Panic is a mechanism that strengthens the gene pool.
You make your way through the village when you come upon a pair of children standing in the middle of an otherwise lifeless street The older one is a girl, and she is holding the hand of a smaller boy who clutches a stuffed doll in his other hand. The boy is crying while the girl tries to shush him.
" If I was a monster I would prefer tender juicy children to bony old adventurers. Like them… " Salman points at the boy and girl on the street. " Hey kid! Go back to your home. Can't you see? There is a big bad wolf out there. " He shifts the hood and shows the children his wolf jaw mask.
"Are you all mad. They're just children," Evrik chimes in. He hurries over tho the little girl. "It's not safe here child. Where is your house, let's get you out of this night." He looks at the boy. "Where are your parents?"

"Well met Jingles! Forgive me, I sometimes tend to overreact. Especially when young ones are involved." Evrik kneeled down in front of the girl to get closer but being careful not to frighten her. "Is this your brother? Is he ok?” Evrik will attempt to examine the children's health as best he can from a distance. (Medicine: 18)
OOC - So in Evriks' post above he would swing at DW5 and then move toward road beside Salman, in front of Ray-My.

Vur would step back from Salman's hiding his own face, and giving a mean look.

(Vur) Are you giving Salman, or the children a mean look?
Ray-my looks at the children. "Shouldn't you be home and sleeping?"
