Gabriel will pull out a torch and light it, and then draw his hand cross bow "ON YOUR FEET!!! Ready yourself Lads" He will reach down and help miranda to her feet and point towards the woods where the wolves are coming from and then motion for them to flank from opposite sides
As soon as you light the torch the rustling sound stops...
The shout of 'on your feet' causes Fintan to sit up as if about to stand. Her body reacting automatically. Her mind, however is not so quick. The world around her spins at an odd angle and she leans to the side until she hits her pack. Closing her eyes again. She groans and pushes herself up, getting to her feat with a steady hand on her back as she detaches her greataxe. Once that's done she sets it on the ground and leans heavily on it, one hand gripping the arm in a sad attempt to seem prepared.
This, Raxin hisses to the group. Is why I do not trust people. I go to a festival in hopes for a female companion for the night, and this is what happens...Does anyone recognize this place?
Miranda would like to make a Survival check - take a look at the flora, any fauna, the stars (if they are visable) to see if there is any inidcators of where we are

Tamsyn is probably the last to her feet, groaning and muttering under her breath in Elvish. "Right then... I assume we're in, uh, where did that man say he was from? Barovia? Neat trick. Mean, but neat. Everyone alright? Any idea why he'd send us here? Or...is that wolves? Oh my, that's probably not good."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Shake wipes the sick from his face and looks around with panic stricken eyes. Quietly and carefully he picks himself up and seeing the dark woods around him he tries to find a shadow he can hide in.
Stealth = 27
Whether or not he can successfully hide, Shake will dig into his studded tunic and pull out his rapier and shield in preparation for whatever comes next.

The moon is hidden behind clouds and the forest is very dark. You seem to slip into the shadows just off the side of the road unnoticed.
You see six pairs of fiery glowing red eyes about 5ft from the ground and the outline of thick mottled fur. Each of these wolves appear to be the size of a small horse and they are roughly 100ft away... now slowly stalking onto the path... and observing you in return...
Draw and knock an arrow. I point them out to the rest of the group with the half drawn arrow.
Six of them, there, there, and there. Wolves usually don't like fire. Anybody have a way of making a fire to hopefully scare them away?
If the moon is hidden and dark, there is probably not much natural light to reflect of the blood vessels in the eyes - so I take the "fiery glowing red eyes" to indicate something unnatural about these wolves?

Your party light a torch (20ft bright, 20ft dim.. maybe enough to reflect?)... But, I wouldn't necessarily call them natural anyway (wolves aren't usually the size of a horse), lol.
Interesting. Raxin says, paying attention to the eyes of the wolves for the first time. He readies an Eldritch blast causing his eyes to shimmer with purple flames where his irises would be as he attempts to hide with Tamsyn

You also move into the shadows of the trees and feel that you are out of sight.
Fintan snorts, with the cockiness of someone still partially intoxicated, "I am fire."
She straps her Greataxe onto her back and moves along the path towards the wolves, stumbling a little. Twisting her tongue about a bit she whistles loudly. As casts produce flame, tossing the ball of fire from one hand to the other. When she's within 30ft she's going to hurl it at the middle doggo because that's how she rolls.
Bereft of your judgment you walk 30ft towards the wolves tossing the flame back and forth between your hands. In your minds eye you look like a total badass, but the wolves stand their ground. When you think your close enough you throw the flame and it lands about 25’ short of the wolves.
You see their eyes flash red as you throw the fire and your jaw drops as the largest of the wolves lets out a blood curdling howl.

Raxin will offer aid to Fintan on getting up in her current state. Glad I did not partake of any weed tonight. He mutters softly to her.

Can Miranda tell how many different wolves she hears howling and get an estimate of how far away they sound? Perception? Nature?

Gabriel will be trying to flank and find some cover to hind behind hide, once the party lights a torch he would hand his off to someone

You walk off the path a little and hide behind some trees. You believe you're well hidden.
You also move into the shadows of the trees and feel that you are out of sight.
