Percy jumps a little when crow pops up on her, but not enough to attract serious attention. As long as my sister is unharmed, not-bird. Percy whispers back. She leans back so Crow can have a nice view of the pot of stew. Sure was delicious... The implied threat hangs in the air between them.
"You didn't call me 'creepy' this time? I'm flattered." Crow replies to Percy, doing the best grin one can do with a beak.
Hobbes just chuckles and shakes his head at the pair. He was gonna miss Zsestrian. He really was.

Don't let it go to your head.

As you're relaxing, eating, and waiting for the Barbarians to return, the panicked screams of horses fills the air. A pair of bear-sized white wolves are trying to make off with Juicyfruit and Pineapple! Both horses appear severely injured, and the others are frantically trying to break free from their hitching post and flee.
Combat Start
Allie is jolted back into reality when she hears the frantic horses. "Oh no! The horses!!"
Without a second thought, she gets into a position in which she will only hit the wolves and lets forth a firey blast of flaming doom.
Ered picks up his weapon, twisting it around in his hand.
"Well, you asked for something more exciting!"
And with that, his hand begins to freeze off, the cold blue of winter clinging to the blade, as he races towards the wolves.
What? No!
he half growled ferally half hissed He stepped closer and attacked one wolf.
He didnt direct Mule to attack, in this case he didnt have too. The valiant warhorse moved to defend his brethren with hoof and bite!
The horse flurry was ineffectual at the moment but at least the wolves knew that it was going to be no easy meal.
"What in the inferno. Mangy mutts."
Hobbes grabs his bow and fires a hot.
Percy spins back around toward the horses, almost throwing crow off her shoulder in the process. Chaos ripples down her scarred arms as she prepared to blast the crap out of a wolf, but she hesitates. She can feel a tingle of what is to come. It is by no means predictable, but she can now choose the element. Sweet!
A bolt of fire bursts from her hands at the same wolf Hobbes is targeting.
Zses jumps up when he hears the wolves. Focusing on the animals, he looks at them inquisitively. "Winter Wolves! They can breath ice, so be careful! Just blast them with fire-" the witch starts, and then stops when the two gnomes start to roast the enemies. "-Just keep doing what you're doing!" he corrects himself, laughing shortly.

Head lain back against the wagon, Vashti snores lightly as her hair has worked its way from its loose braid and into her mouth.
Opening her eyes wearily, she peers at the ongoing battle.
, my Lady? Seriously, have I vexed thee this day, enough as to draw your ire?
One of the wolves narrowly dodges Allie's scorching ray - right into Percy's flaming bolt. It's pained yelp is almost intelligible . It absorbs an arrow hit and several gashes but stays upright. It and its companion lunge at Mule, but the mighty steed manages to avoid their snapping jaws.
New Round
Allie growls and focuses in more closely at the wolf.
Dropping his naginata the felinerai closes with the 2nd wolf drawing his katana out in an upward sweeping arc...
The valiant Mule, pratical paladin of ponyfolk everywhere neighed angrily at the aggresive wolf creatures harming his kin. Lashing with hoofs and snapping with teeth the warhorse continues to harry the wolfs back from his innocent brethren!
Ered draws his magic up the blade's length as he swings a wide arc at the wolf.

Percy brings her hands in, feels for the itch of fire, then releases another bolt! Hey arms are a burning rainbow of energy.
Hobbes fires another pair of bolts.
"The mutts can talk?"
Zses is about to cast another curse on the wolf, but the animal is felled before he can do anything. "Well, it looks like that won't be necessary." he mutters to himself, glancing at the other wolf and chuckling slightly.

Lyosha continues happily dozing with Sigrun in his arms, blissfully unaware of the two wolves who are now immediately regretting certain life decisions.
Working together, you fell one of the Winter Wolves. The other growls words in a foreign tongue before unleashing a torrent of ice from its mouth. .
New Round
The elf takes the full force of the brutal cold, unable to get even mildly out of harm's way in time. He smirks, chunks of his flesh blue and dying from the frost.
"Let's see if you like another taste of this!"
"Good luck with that buddy."
Hobbes fires another pair of shots.
He was going to gut that.... the full force of the icycold strikes the felinerai and he stumples forward to the ground unmoving.
Mule whinies a sort of angry sound and attacks with a fury.
Crap..
After casting my spell Vashti makes as much noise and movement as possible to draw its ire my way.
Right here you ugly mangy mongrel!
Ered can't take another hit, but I still can...
Allie growls as she sees her friends get hurt. She focuses in on the last wolf and, for a third time, she let's forth a first ray of smoldering death.
"You really shouldn't have done that!" Zses shouts to the wolf. After a quick chanting and a flick of his wrist, Zses points to the enemy. While his hand stays still, it's shadow stretches and reaches out for the wolf's, aiming to where the eyes should be in the silhouette.
Laughing loudly, Zses tries to keep his concentration, glancing worriedly at Silence, Ered, and Allie.

Utterly content, Sigrun sleeps holding Lyosha close.
The wolf staggers back under a hail of arrows and other blows, but it's Allie's scorching ray that brings it down.
"What was that about?"
Percy shrugs and gets to the important work of butchering and skinning the kills. Let's not let this go to waste, eh?
