initiative
Bandar looks the first wolf in the eyes and growl himself.
He throws the torch he picked up towards the group aiming for the leading wolf, but really just trying to scare them.
"Oi! Wake up! Get yer arses out 'ere and fight!" he yells over his shoulder.
"Aww five more minutes please master" She mumbles groggily to herself as she begins to wake up
Init
With a snort, Drosk rouses at Bandar's shout. Unable to don his armor, he grabs his warhammer and shield as he dashes out of the tent, stopping just outside the entrance to take in the scene. "Hmm, maybe I should invest in some light armor to sleep in, if this is going to be a common occurrence now that I am an adventurer..." the young dwarf thinks to himself.

Manduzi is already on his feet and ready when the wolves pop out into the clearing and his rapier flashes swiftly, cutting out a mark from the creatures shoulder and raising his blade in preparation for another strike.
Velios moves forward until he is close behind him and draws his weapon then lashes out, striking deep into it with his bladed staff, causing the blood to flow freely and leaving the wolf standing shakily on its feet.
The torch sails past the other two, but lands just beyond the wolves and it doesn't seem to deter the wildness in the animals eyes.
The three wolves press in closer to the current watch, the leader snapping at Manduzi and ripping the flesh on his side.
The next wolf steps forward, biting into Bandar's leg, catching hold and jerking its head to the side pulling the dwarf off his feet.
The final wolf moves forward a bit, wary of the Guisarme as lunges forward, though it misses completely.
Naria sleepily emerges from her tent rubbing tiredly at her eyes and yawning "Okay what's with all the noise and sho-HOLY CRAP" She yells out upon noticing the wolves she quickly assumes a fighting stance
"Foul Beast!" He calls out, keeping a low gaurd. Manduzi does his best to deliver a riposte at the savage creature but his sword arm is shaky as he does his best to conceal the fact that this is his first real kill-or-be-killed situation.
On my first round initiative I will stow my bow and grab my quarterstaff, taking a five foot step into G17.
Second round initiative will be to move into a position to assist Bandar if he is still fighting a wolf. I will fight defensively (pfrpg pg.184) while attempting to aid another to give Bandar a +2 to attack(pfrpg pg.197).
Modified AC: 18
Aid Another roll DC:10
Remember the +1 atk/damage as I continue to inspire and encourage you guys and gals.
round 2 inspire courage.
Despite the wolf being threatening close Bandar just shrugs and spring up on his feets ”Oh so ya wanna play, eh doggy? Well why don't ya stay a while then?” Bandar says while punching out at the wolf, aiming above its leg to hamper it's movement.

The wolf is struck by Bandar solidly and lets out a whimper and it obviously looks like it is having trouble with its mobility, one of its legs held up in the air.
As the dwarf strikes the animal, the last two members of the party come rushing out of their tents to see the animals before them.
Beilin hurries forward and tries to harry the wolf, but the injured animal seems focused on Bandar and is not paying so much attention to the bard.
With a sudden rush of adrenaline after seeing his friends get attacked, Velios moves back and plants his feet firmly jabbing his guisarme at the nearest wolf.
"Naria, flank this one!" He calls out indicating the wolf to his left. Manduzi will wait until Naria flanks the wolf on the left before attacking. If she takes a different course of action, he will instead attack the one infront of him
Hmm the wolf is not even paying attention to me huh, Beilin grips his quarterstaff with both hands and steps into I13 bringing down the staff square on the back of the wolf.

"Here now, ye mangy cur! Get ye gone!" he shouts at the wolf.
Round 3 for me, I believe:
After striking the wolf solidly, Velios feels a bit of pride wash over him. He thinks to himself "At least all this training taught me something."
Velios then brings his guisarme back around behind him and with an overhead swing, tries to finish the wolf off.
Attack Damage
Assuming the wolf go down under the combined efforts of the dwarfs, and perhaps despite Beilins efforts ;)
Bandar looks gratefull at his dwarven companion, then suddenly charges across the ground to find more targets.

Naria seems receptive to the call made by Manduzi, so he readies his strike until she is able to posistion herself to fully distract the wolf.
Velios moves back just enough to get a good strike in on the wolf before him, striking down into it with his bladed staff, cutting deeply into its shoulder, leaving it gravely wounded.
The wolf Velios struck steps a bit closer to Naria, snapping at her and catching her with a firm bite. He catches hold of her and gives a hard yank, spinning her slightly and dropping her to the dirt.
The other two wolves bite again at Manduzi and Bandar, but miss widely.
Seeing Naria drop onto her back, Manduzi's blade lets fly and strikes across the side of the wolf.
Naria springs back up to her feet, delivering a firm strike to the snarling wolf beside her. The previous blow from Velios splits open wider with the impact and the wolf succumbs to the wound, dropping flat.
Drosk lands a solid blow with his warhammer, knocking the wolf to the ground and making it go limp. Bandar hurries past the wolf even as it falls, striking the alpha wolf firmly and the creature finally succumbs to its wounds and drops flat.
As suddenly as it all began all is silent around the campfire again and you are left with the bodies of three scrawny wolves.
Manduzi flicks the rapier through the air one last time to remove the blood from the blade. He pauses and examines the blade for a moment before placing it back in it's sheath. " The smell of blood will attract other scavengers, We should move these carcasses away from camp." He reasons as he scratches the back of his head, wary of the task he has suggested.
"Were would we move them though" Naria pipes up trying to see to where the dog bit her "I don't think any of us really want to be walking through the woods in the middle of the night with those." She pauses and seems to think for a minute "Could we burn the bodies on the fire?"
"With the burnt hair and meat I think that may be worse than leaving them in the camp dead. We may just have to try our luck moving them to the edge of camp." Velios suggests while cleaning off his guisarme.
Manduzi crosses his arms and strokes his chin in thought. "Admittedly I've never spent a night anywhere lacking down pillows and a ceiling." He says with an over-exaggerated shrug of his shoulders. "So perhaps it's best if those more experienced with such things decides what to do with the bodies."
"In that lies our problem Manduzi. Nobody here has that much experience." Velios lets out a chuckle.
Bandar joins in Velios chukle.
”If ya hook me up with one or two o' ya nature lovers to lead the way, i'll help with the movin'” he offers.
"It seems strange to me that the wolves attacked, I mean there has to be easier prey, why would they attack a lit campsite?" Beilin pauses in contemplation.
Knowledge Nature
"Yah I can help you move the wolf bodies Bandar, even if it's just to the otherside of the trail it is better then right here."
"Drosk and I can get one also." Velios waves Drosk over with a quick hand motion. "Nothing like carrying dead animals in the night, eh fellas?"
"You know what would make this better?
"Ale, ale would make this so much better, am I right"

Hauling the bodies of the injured and mangy wolves certainly isn't enjoyable work, but simply moving them across the trail isn't particularly difficult either, none of them are particularly heavy.
Setting back up the watch for the night passes uneventfully. With the howls of the wolves now silenced, the forest is eerily quiet beyond the steady drumming of the rain that continues throughout the evening and into the morning.
When the sun starts to rise in the morning, its hard to tell exactly through the heavy foliage and the clouds, but it doesn't look like the rain is going to be ending too soon.
Velios makes his way around the camp waking the three from first watch. "Lets eat so we can get back on the trail my friends." After eating a ration Velios packs his tent and readies for the days events. "Looks like we are in for another dreary day." Velios sighs looking through the dense forest.
Before the party turned in after the wolf attack, Drosk would have Channeled Energy to heal anyone wounded.
