Drip-the-hairless-wolf bolts across the battlefield, his slick paws gliding over the terrain like a board carving through a wave. His yaps come quick and steady, like the crashing of a gnarly surf.
(Anachain had moved 30' east last turn which I don't think got reflected on the latest map...)
Mother Anachain continues moving towards the horses with the idea of trying to grab hold of them and assimilating them into the collective. "Let them scatter," she calls out, but not too forcefully. She actually doesn't care either way. "The wolves are no longer a threat..." So this turn is just 30' movement and 30' dash action towards the horses.
Seeing another wolf (Drip) come up on him from the rear, Elmer wheels around and barks, "I said shoo!" and tries to shove the creature back with his shield.
TURN BREAKDOWN
Attack - Shove vs Drip: Contested check Natural 20+5 = 26. Pushed back 5' if failed.

Togar continues hovering in the air, closing half of the distance to the wolves, he fires down another bolt of flames, this time to wolf E, squared off with Elmer. “Begone, mangy cur! Feathers are better than fur any day of the week!”
Fire bolt : 23 to hit, for 10 points of fire damage.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Elmer is about to run to the the panicked horse, but he does a double-take when he realizes Dimia is addressing him. He looks at the wolves she's pointing to.
"Huh? Who? Them? They should be out long enough to get the caravan to safety I think. We just didn't wanna hurt 'em too badly. They were just hungry. No crime in that. Right guys?"
Elmer turns to the others, expecting them to concur with the decision to use non-lethal force. It's only then that he notices the smoldering wolf corpses that surround him. He freezes in slack-jawed astonishment for a moment then weakly utters the word... "Oh."

Togar descends to the ground, looking at the wolf corpses. “Yes, Elmer. No crime in that. I imagine we have been next on the menu if we didn’t act as we did. Interesting how the leader watched as he sent his wolf pack in to do the work.” Togar walks closer and starts to look through what they were attacking, he looks through the wagon to learn more.
Investigation : 20

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
As Drip and Togar investigate the wagon, they find the two drivers that were overcome by the wolves for their cargo. Inside the wagon is the remains of a bunch of food. It appears the ravenous wolves got most of it, but there are a few rolls, asparagus and lettuce left in the wagon.
The wagon itself seems in decent shape, other than a wheel has broken off it's axel which accounts for why the drivers simply didn't drive away as the horses that are hiding are good specimens from what you can see and apparently loyal since they didn't run off.
Anachain takes a step back and makes soothing noises towards the rearing horse. "Hey there, whoa there, c'mon there... We're the good ones, eh?" She says in what she hopes is a calming voice. "The danger is all gone now... we're here to rescue you..." She's not exactly a horse whisperer though so all she can do is try.
As the horse is about to scatter from Mother Anachain, Kulloda walks up and the horse seems resigned to being under the voice of man again. It takes a step forward and snuffles the woman as she attempts to talk to it in a calming voice. The other horse turns around and walks towards the three of them, curious as to what is going on now that the threat is gone.
Drip-the-wolf eagerly “wolfs” down a few rolls, crumbs flying everywhere as he munches through them like a hungry sea dog after a long day on the waves. His snout crinkles at the rest of the food, clearly unimpressed. After a quick shake, he shifts back into his humanoid form, still glistening with moisture. Without missing a beat, Drip saunters over to the nearest corpse, kneeling casually as he starts rifling through the pockets.
“Not much left in here, huh, dude?” he mutters to himself, hands busy as he searches for anything useful.
Elmer is busy gently placing some rations near the snouts of the "sleeping" wolves but looks up when he sees Drip transform, suddenly realizing..."Oh, no.... Were you... Did I... Sorry about that..."
He walks over, looks at the corpses, shaking his head like Jerry Orbach arriving at a Law & Order murder scene. With his hands on his hips he says, guilelessly... "Gosh... Poor guys. I hope they at least died peacefully."
Completely obvious to his own foolish statement, his eyes go wide with joy when he sees the asparagus. He grabs some stalks and starts munching. Then, suddenly realizing something, he looks up and calls out to the rest of the party.
"Oh, hey, guysh!... Ish anyone hurt?" He says, flecks of asparagus flying out of his mouth as he speaks.
He lifts his arms and wiggling his fingers in the air to demonstrate. "Cuzsh I got magic handsh that can make boo-boosh go bye bye if you need it."

Elmer does indeed knock the next one out after Mother Anachain misses with her eldrich blast, Wolf C now laying motionless at his feet.
Dimia and Galadher stay in the caravan, impressed by their hires.
Wolf A cries out as the fire bolt hits him squarely.
Drip-the-hairless-wolf bolts across the battlefield, his slick paws gliding over the terrain like a board carving through a wave. His yaps come quick and steady, like the crashing of a gnarly surf.
(Dash 80’ total to be beside/behind Elmer)
Wolf B decides this meal isn't worth it and dashes to the North (Kulloda can take an AoO if he wants)
Wolf D finally breaks free from the seaweed and also runs, heading east.
Kulloda, without hesitation and on instinct, strikes out and slashes at the retreating wolf with his great sword.
AOO: Godsbane: (22+8)=20 to hit for (11+2)= 13 piercing
Not considering his own safety, Kulloda runs at the remaining awake wolf (A).
Move 30’ plus Dash to make up the rest of the distance.
Wolf A whimpers as Kulloda covers the distance between them. He tries in vain to get out of the weeds, but he is stuck fast.
(Anachain had moved 30' east last turn which I don't think got reflected on the latest map...)

The horse next to Mother Anachain rears up on his hind legs and looks as though it is about to bolt.
Drip-the-wolf gets shoved back 5 feet from Elmer
The remaining awake wolf is now cinders after Togar lights up his butt.
Dimia brings the caravan up closer and looks over to Elmer, "What are you going to do with those two? Gonna let them sleep it off or what?"
Elmer is about to run to the the panicked horse, but he does a double-take when he realizes Dimia is addressing him. He looks at the wolves she's pointing to.

Drip will begin nosing through the wreckage looking for whatever the other wolves were eating, hoping it is not people.

Animal Handling: 10
With nothing biting him any more, Kulloda’s breathing slows and the fire in his eyes dims.
He ignores the sleeping wolves and goes to check the horses with Anachain.
As he does he keeps an eye on the odd hairless wolf nosing around for food. It doesn’t seem dangerous but he’s not turning his back on it either.
Kulloda sheathes his sword and then tries to help Anachain calm the horses.
