Artus feels the bite of the wolves and rage boils up inside of him. He becomes super focused and his breath starts to come in short heavy breaths. He brings his greataxe up and slams the blade down deep into the wolf's shoulder, almost getting it stuck there before ripping it out. The wolf yelps in pain but begins to circle Artus preparing to strike. Artus rams his horns into the wolf sending it back five feet. (14 damage)
The other two wolves begin circling their prey, howling and snapping their jaws looking for the chance to strike out with their razor-sharp teeth. Far in the distance, you can hear other wolves howling.
As the wolf Artus rams slides past him, Tilo slices his glowing shortsword toward its flank. He then steps into the space between the wolf and the minotaur and strikes at it again with two rapid kicks.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
After cutting into the smallest wolf, Reggie sees both Artus and Tilo aim a number of blows at the middle-sized beast. He dances around the runt and strikes with three blows to try to finish it off. (If moving to attack Wolf 3 would generate an AoO, then he'll attack Wolf 2 again instead.)
Lando begins casting a spell he knows very well. In his open hand, a blue radiant flame begins to grow. Then suddenly the flame is gone, and a much larger column of blue flame descends upon Wolf #3. (I can't add this early in the morning. If wolf 3 is dead, then I will be casting that on the remaining wolf)
Sacred Flame . On a failed save, wolf #3 takes: 4 radiant damage.

As the wolf Artus rams slide past him, Tilo slices his glowing shortsword toward its flank but the wolf jumps to the side avoiding the blow. Tilo then steps into the space between the wolf and the minotaur and sidekicks the beast in the face, Tilo watches as the beasts head snaps back and you see broken teeth and blood fly out of the wolf's mouth. He then spins around and tries to kick the wolf again but the wolf drops to the ground avoiding the blow before getting up and snarling at Tilo.(9 damage)
After cutting into the smallest wolf, Reggie sees both Artus and Tilo aim a number of blows at the middle-sized beast. He dances around the runt and strikes with his longsword, slashing towards the creature's midsection ripping a long gash through its fur as blood begins to flow out of the wound. He turns the sword in mid swing and makes another slash across the wolf's neck killing him instantly.
Reggie pivots around and stabs towards the runt of the litter hitting it in the shoulder, making it yelp in pain. (11 damage)
Seeing that Artus is on the verge of passing out from blood loss, Lando quickly speaks words of healing and Artus feels the warm soothing healing wash over him (7 hp healed)
Lando begins casting a spell he knows very well. In his open hand, a blue radiant flame begins to grow. Then suddenly the flame is gone, and a much larger column of blue flame descends upon the run making his fur burn. You can smell the burnt fur all around you now. The wolf runs in circles yelping in pain and finally stops when the flames go out. He growls at Lando and turns towards him getting ready to pounce.

Hoping to drive off the larger wolf through destroying its pack, Andrei pivots towards the runt, making a mighty swing with his frosty ice ax and connects with the wolfs head. The fur around the wolfs head begins to freeze as the ax blade begins to slice through the runt's neck. It slides through the frozen neck no problem, as the frozen head hits the ground it shatters into many little pieces of wolf ice.
The Dire wolf snarls and snaps its teeth getting ready to pounce but suddenly its ears twitch up and it begins to whimper. It disengages from Andrei and jogs to the North-West where it stops at a man that is Standing there watching you. He reaches down absent-mindedly and scratches the wolf behind the ear before patting it on the back making it run off into the woods.
The man is dressed in dark brown leathers with splashes of red on the front of the shirt. He is tall, around 6'3" in height and has a very average build for one so tall. The things that stand out the most about this man is his pale white skin and the large incisor teeth that are very pointed, giving away the fact that he is a vampire.
He begins to clap very slowly as he smiles at the group. "Very impressive, It looks like you guys have some spunk, not like that last group." The man says (in a Sean Connery accent.) " this is going to be fun. Fun indeed." He looks over the group one by one and you notice no emotion in his dead eyes. "One of you have been touched." The man laughs, a very deep laugh coming straight from the belly. "Very interesting indeed. My poor child. You shall be set free soon enough. It is a shame I don't have time to play right now but you are welcome to come for dinner anytime you wish. Forgive me, I am Strahd von Zarovich, You can just ask the mindless people in Barovia where to find me. Until we meet again."
He looks over the group one more time and smiles. "Very interesting indeed."
The man's body shifts into a cloud of mist and disappears into the fog leaving you by yourselves.
Tilo is already staring at the man, crouched in a fighting stance, before the last wolf flees. Once the vampire disappears, he straightens with a disconcerted look on his face that passes so quickly it might not have been there. He sheathes his mundane sword then looks at Andrei and the others. "Looks like that vampire problem just became our problem." He says with a nervous laugh. Once the others are ready, he takes point once more with his glowing shortsword, heading back to the west.
Artus still breathing heavy and huffing, looks at the vampire enraged. Rarely does the Minotaur become this enraged, but those wolves brought him close to death. Upon hearing Strahds voice, he begins to calm down and his breathing slows. He is relaxed by the monster even though he knows that he is evil and will only bring pain and suffering.
"I don't have a good feeling about our new friend... But I think we should go find Barovia before more animals come looking for a snack."

"Hold on, Tilo," Reggie says, looking at Artus. The minotaur is still bleeding profusely. "You too, Andrei," he says, holding up a hand to stop the blood hunter. "Lando, can you do something about these two? We have no idea what's down that road, and we need everyone in tip-top shape."

“Aye, I have enough in me for two more before I would need to rest and recover.”
Lando walks over to Andrei and places his hands on Andrei’s wounds. Lando’s hands glow blue and feel hot to the touch. You feel the pain from your injuries begin to subside and begin to mend.
He repeats the same on Artus, though you sense a slight hesitation in his actions. You can tell Lando isn’t yet totally comfortable being this intimate with the Minotaur.
“There ya go big fella!” He laughs somewhat nervously.
After a quick healing by Lando, you begin to follow the road westward towards the village of Barovia. It takes you the better part of the morning and it is close to noon time when :
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 village dwellings.The gravel road leads to a village, its tall houses dark as tombstones. Nestled among these solemn dwellings are a handful of closed-up shops. Even the tavern is shut tight. A soft whimpering draws your eye toward a pair of children standing in the middle of an otherwise lifeless street.
Andrei holds his weapon at his side, hand twitching slightly from how hard he has gripped the ice axe's handle this entire time. He studies the children carefully, making no further moves towards them.
Insight: 12
"I don't like this,"Andrei mutters to Tilo, the closest to him.
"Standing in the street when all of the other buildings are closed, and they are the only ones around?"
Andrei looks at the children trying to figure out if there is something out of the ordinary with them and they look back at him with a quizical look about their faces. The boy hides behind the girl as if she could protect him from the strangers.
After shushing the boy, the girl turns to you and says, “There’s a monster in our house!” She then points to a tall brick row house that has seen better days. Its windows are dark. It has a gated portico on the ground floor, and the rusty gate is slightly ajar. The houses on either side are abandoned, their windows and doors boarded up.
The girl steps forward defending her brother as he cowers behnd her trying to feel safe. "I have not seen the monster but we have heard its horrible howls. Out parents, Gustav and Elisabeth, have trapped the monster in the basement and are trying to keep it in there. We ran out of the house. Our baby brother Walter is trapped in the nursery on the third floor. Please, we need your help."
The boy grabs onto his sisters hand and looks to the group with pleading eyes.
Reggie glances around at the others warily as Andrei steps forward and talks with the children. Similar to a nervous tick, he closes his eyes, gives his head a little shake, and then returns to watching the street — all happening in a slit second. "I need a drink," he mutters. Instead, he adjusts his grip on his swords.
