Chilling Adventures in the North

Muharg grits his teeth and gathers his resolve lunging forward towards the wolf as he mutters a divine incantation, ending his movement with a slash of his axe at the face of the beast.

Movement: 15ft towards the winter wolf

BA: Cast Wrathful Smite

A: Battleaxe attack: 10 + Bless: (4) = 14 Total; for 12 damage.

Not yet strong enough to leave the cave to engage the wolf, Qinfaren focuses on the mistletoe on his staff, taps the end of the staff on the ground, and says "Frugibus flamma."

A small ball of flame ignites in the palm of his large hand. He cups it gently and then hurls it at the winter wolf.

Casts: Produce Flame and attacks with the flame. Attack: 19 Damage: 3  

Arogna charges out of the cave beside Muharg, trying to get between the wolf and the cave entrance. She roars with rage and swings her hammer towards the wolf. But she is careful to guard herself as well, feeling that she doesn't have a lot of her strength remaining.

M: Level with Muharg, 15ft
BA: Rage
A: Warhammer 2h, 18 + Bless 3 to hit for 4 + 2 (Rage) damage

(Sorry for delay)

Bjorn shakes the remaining chill from his bones and moves away lest another chilling blast is coming their way. Marking the winter wolf, he takes a bead on it and lets loose an arrow.

Move: Move 30ft. away.
Bonus Action: Hunter's Mark on Winter Wolf
Action: Attack Winter Wolf with Longbow 9 for 7 piercing damage 

Bjorn is the first to move, and when he lets loose an array it soars over the body of the winter wolf, missing it.

However, the winter wolf's luck is short lived when Muharg strikes it with a blessed, Wrathful Smite powered, battle axe. The battle axe badly wounds the winter wolf leaving a deep axe wound.

Suddenly, another Shad appears behind the winter wolf out in the cold, outside the cave.

When Qinfaren casts Produce Flame and throughs the flame at the wolf, it hits the wolf in the face, but it only lightly singes the wolf's fur.

Arogna's warhammer strikes true, but there is not enough force to cause any serious damage. The wolf mostly shakes the impact off and growls in return.

Then you hear the sounds of growling, barking and snapping coming from somewhere outside the cave.

(Cold Breath recharge: 6)

The wolf recoils away from the attacks moving away from the cave, but still stands its ground and unleashes another cold breath. However, this time only Arogna and Muharg are hit by the breath attack.

(Cold Breath; DC 12 Dex - 11 cold damage, half as much on a success.)

 Arogna keels over into the snow like a toppled statue, with about as much impact force. At least the crunching sound is only from the compacting snow, not breaking bones. So she has that going for her.

Arogna is down. Rage ended

Muharg detects an opening on the wolf's defenses as it moves back and unleashes a quick slash with his axe.

Attack of opportunity (if applies): 24 + Bless: (2) = 26 total; for 13 damage.

DEX Save (with Bless): 10

However, the momentum of his swing makes him unable to avoid the wolf's new blast of cold, which catches the dwarf square on the face causing him to fall unconscious on the snow.

0 HP. Concentration on Wrathful Smite ended.

Shad moves Monty close enough that the illusion can touch the Winder Wolf, casting Inflict Wounds from Monty's position. He wants to help Muharg and Arogna but is in such pain himself! Can they survive this?

Bonus action to move Monty, 16 to hit, for 16 damage.

Qinfaren sees Muharg and Arogna go down under the chilling breath of the winter wolf. He's barely able to stay upright on his own but he can't worry about that now. Seeing the wolf back off gives him an opening.

He shouts "Sermo qui sanat" at Muharg, hoping it will be enough and then he charges forward and grabs ahold of Arogna and drags her back into the cave and makes sure she's stabilized.

Action: Move to get Arogna and then drag her back and stabilize her.

Bonus Action: Casts Healing Word at Muharg and heals 6 HP

(OOC: Do I still get to act on this turn after Qinfaren’s healing word?)

(Yes, you can act on this turn.)

After regaining consciousness, Muharg gives a general look at his companions in the cave and nods in gratitude at whoever it was that brought him back up. He then places his hand on his chest, closes his eyes and takes a deep breath as a warm light filters out from his fingers. Once he's got some of his strength back, he grits his teeth locking eyes with the wolf, and moves in close quarters with it, standing in a position where he's not aligned with the cave.

Action: Lay on hands on himself for 10HP.

Movement: Get within melee range with the winter wolf.

Muharg's health: 16HP

(OOC: Thanks for the assist, Qinfaren!) 

(OOC - No worries. He'll use some Healing Word on Arogna next round too if he's still on his feet)

Bjorn sees his companions go down and grits his teeth. He shouts to get the wolf's attention even as he continues to pepper it with arrows, "Over here you snowflake of a wolf!"

Action: Longbow Attack vs Winter Wolf 26 for 12 piercing damage.

Bjorn releases a volley of arrows at the winter wolf, the arrows strike true and finishes of the white dire wolf. It collapses on the ground, dead. Arrows protruding from it's back and side, bloody wounds cover it's body. With one winter wolf dead, there is only one left.

Now that the first winter wolf is dead, you are free to leave the cave and investigate the sounds of snarling, snapping, growling and barking. It does not take long to find the source of the noises as you see your two sledge dogs fighting the other winter wolf. Though they look like they won't last much longer.

Muharg looks at his companions, nods and charges towards the fighting beasts. He places himself by the hindquarters of the wolf, avoiding being grouped with the dogs, and swings his battle axe as hard as he can against its white fur.

Attack: 8 + Bless: (2) = 10 Total; for 10 damage

Qinfaren reaches down and takes hold of Arogna's shoulders and quietly says "Sermo qui sanat."

Casts: Healing Word for 6  

He then takes a deep breath, still barely standing from the breath of the winter wolf, and help Arogna to her feet. He moves out of the cave with the others and seeing the dogs, he calls to them to come away from the wolf.

Animal Handling: 15  

(OOC Are they still in intiative)

Shad has Monty run at the second wolf. Monty yells, "Attack me, you hairy turd!" If Monty gets close enough, Shad casts Inflict Wounds: 15 to hit and 15 damage.

If Monty's movement toward the wolf still leaves him out of range, Shad will cast Healing Word on Qinfaren: 4.

"Thanks, man," Arogna says as Qinfaren helps her up. "Hells, that was cold." She is still shivering as she goes out of the cave, and grins to Shad on the way past. "Your ghost's doin' good."

Her scowl reappears when she sees the state of the dogs. "Leave 'em alone!" she yells. She runs up by Muharg and brings her hammer down towards the wolf.

BA: Rage
Warhammer 2h 18 plus Bless 3 to hit for 8 +2 (rage) damage
