"Are you ready to brave the wolves again?" Afamrail asks the others.
Hopefully Tana will be able to keep control of them once more.
"I am going to suggest we head to the single door that we have not been through. I am hopefully it brings us closer to the kitchens without having to pass by the dining hall or the front entrance again"
Afamrail senses a difference in the level of authority in Tana's voice. The wolves are not backing down as quickly as they did before. His fingers rest on the arrow and bowstring in his hands, ready to fight.
He whispers to Raine, "I have no experience handling animals such as these but they may respond to anyone who commands with confidence in Giant. You are much larger than I, if you you try I will do my best to help you, repeating what you say and mimicking your actions. That may be enough to keep them settled down."
(OOC If Tana's animal handling fails, Afamrail will help if Raine attempts to handle them).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(OOC: Raine is like 5'0 lol. Risha is the tall one.)
Raine takes a deep breath, steeling her resolve. If the wolves aren't listening to Tana, she doesn't see why they'd listen to her, but it can't hurt to attempt it. "Alright. I'll give it a try." She quickly casts guidance on herself, then starts commanding the wolves in Giant to back off.
(OOC: No worries, it's totally fine! If anything, it's kind of funny that the smallest, arguably least intimidating party member is the one who's able to scare off the wolves)
Afamrail can't help but smile at the sight of the diminutive water gensai, Raine, keeping the wolves at bay while they make their way across the enclosure to the single door (the one they have not been through)
Once the party is across, Afamrail listens at the door for any noise from within.
Afamrail looks at the others and nods at the door.
”I think it is time we started improving our odds. Taking out the threat in here will be a start. Then we can try and get some of the slaves on our side. But that is easy for me to say as it will fall to Tana and Risha to be the first ones through these doors. What do you think?”
Afamrail watches their faces to try to discern their thoughts and what they will do.
In between her repeated commands to the wolves, Raine says, “I suppose we need to start taking them out eventually. I’m not opposed if you all think we should go in.”
Afamrail moves to the side of the door so he's out of Tan and Risha's way. Then he reaches in and pushes the door open so neither of them has to juggle weapons and shields to open the door.
He steps back as they enter, drawing his bow up ready for what comes in the room ahead, hoping this doesn't set the wolves off behind them.
Many cloths, table, chair and stools are in this area. Six hill giants are talking to another hill giant that seems to be more well kept then most others in this stronghold. He has a scar on his arm and a is toying with a whip. On the sight of of Afamrail the scared hill giant with the whip stands in front of the other giants hiding in the corner. Roll initiative.

Not hearing any objection to the plan, Afamrail opens the door back out into the wolf enclosure, giving space for Tana to exert control again.
Tana will continue on and attempt to pacify the wolves enough to allow the party to pass through.
Animal Handling: 9
