Erimus puts a hand on Nemmet's shoulder, then places himself protectively between Galax and the boy.
"I do not abandon the needy, Sir," he replies, "Nor send any whence I would not willingly go myself."
Then to Liam he says, "I am ill versed in the nature of wolves master Liam, but I have heard it told in tales that many a wild beast will fear a naked flame. Perhaps if we carry burning torches we may deter them?"
Erimus unsheathes his sword, and keeps a watchful eye on the surrounds...

GALAX laughs at ERIMUS's movement. "I see how it is. You'll put yourself between your boy and me, someone who poses only a threat to your ego, versus putting yourself between your boy and the real danger - the wolves."
GALAX nods to NIGEL. "Indeed, and perhaps the wolves are in league with those beasts. It's not unheard of. Best to prepare for battle... and flight."

"Oh I really hope not, I don't prefer to do that, I was heading to the library in the next town, they are said to have a copy of . . well it does not matter at the moment." Nigel begins to pick up some good sized rocks for throwing.

Liam turns and heads back towards the party. "Erimus, they're waiting to pick you off." He stares at the heavy plate armour and sighs. "I suppose we'll have to either slow down our pace or take care of the danger." [OOC] How close is the wolf getting? Within bow range? To your trained eye it is playing just on what would be a shot within range...almost at the edge of a more difficult shot.

As the conversation of the group picks up, indeed the wolf holds back a little bit, and then you can see two more appear from behind, making three behind you.... ((This is going to be an initiative situation, now I ask would one of you take turns rolling or have me roll it? I am asking just to set the pattern for the rest of the game it doesn't matter to me...either way. For combat rolls I tend to do the rolling but if you all would rather and then use invisible castle that is fine. Just let me know.))

Fennick searches for a piece of wood to light on fire as a torch. If he cannot find one, he will try to light the top of his club.

"YAAARGH!!!" shouts Kib as he waves his axe, trying to scare off the wolves.

Liam readies an arrow and waits for the wolves to get within range (50") of his bow at which point he'll let loose with two shots.
[OOC: You can roll for me, as well.]

GALAX hoists his shield to provide cover from a charge and hefts his spear, ready to defend himself.
GALAX to NIGEL: "I'd suggest staying behind me/us."
GALAX to KIB: "Lets stay shoulder to shoulder."
[Please feel free to make my rolls - since we don't have an integrated dice roller, having one source makes it easy.]

FENNICK positions himself beside and a step behind Galax on Galax's shield side so to keep Nigel safe. He will continue to try to light a flame to a branch or his club. "May Sarenrae protect us," he huffs.
(OOC: Is Fennick's shield attached to his arm while trying to light a flame?)

Kib stands shoulder-to-elbow with Galax, careful to leave enough room to freely swing his big axe. "Swing wide, boys, and don't let them knock you down!"

Nope that shield will have to be down for you to use two hands to try and light a brand...

Laric readies his bow and fires if the wolves make to charge our position. (OOC: You can roll for me as well).

OOC: You may roll for me.
Nigel stands behind and to the side of the shield wall, preparing his throwing rocks.
His idea is to use them to frustrate and break up a attack before it gets started and to also attempt to keep them from flanking.

"Hand me my shield," says Erimus, and equips himself with it as he joins the battle line.
To Nemmet he says, "Stay behind us, and try to set a brand ablaze."
OOC: Ronin, you can roll for me too please.
OOC: Why is Galax being so antagonistic to Erimus?

OOC: @ways - it is sheer role playing and if it's too much, I'll back off, don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. GALAX feels that strongly against our chosen course of action and he doesn't trust someone so blindly faithful to their gods. So he's running his suck. If it's really ruining your game, I can shut up.

OOC: Okay, all's well then. I can take it in stride, but the question is... can Erimus? Let's hope we don't create a problem the company can likely do better without

Just a quick note between long naps...I knew where Galax was coming from and I'm sure Erimus can handle it, faith is a difficult thing to explain to someone who doesn't have it. Though it might come down to something else...I liked it so far though it is hard with Way being so behind or ahead in the timezone battle. So far guys I have liked all the characters...and I am building on something for one of you... not giving hints to whom though.

The charge comes with a growl and a burst, Erimus stands ready a bit distant from Kib and Galax hoping to pull one his way, Kib grinds away at the handle of his axe a growl escaping his throat as well. Galax shifts his shield and makes ready with his spear, the bowmen, Liam and Laric ready their bows the bowstring being drawn tight make an eerie sound. Fennick continues to try and get a brand lit, Nemmet seeing that he would be more help there lends a hand, hoping to free up Fennick's shield arm and Nigel stands ready to throw a stone at a charging wolf.
The bowmen fire, Liam strikes twice and Laric hits once right through the eye of one of the beasts but on his second shot his bowstring snaps!
The wolves continue though the one that Laric hit is slowing down and swinging it's head back and forth baying in pain. Liam gets two more shots off but both sail wide of the mark, and then the wolves are among you.
Erimus has to move to intercept one of the wolves who was trying to get at Liam, the sword swing bites deep into the side of the wolf but it still breathes. Kib and Galax both strike at the wolf that is unharmed so far both warriors hitting and though the wounds are not deep they do bloody the wolf. Nigel manages to get a rock off and hit the wolf that Erimus is engaged with, the solid thunk sound ringing off the skull of the wolf.
The wolf on Erimus snaps but more out of reflex than anything else and misses, the other wolf now plainly the largest of the three takes a bite at Galax and just in time Galax gets his shield low. The creature bites down hard and twists it's head sending the shield flying out of reach.
Fennick with Nemmet's help is able to get a brand lit....
We have Erimus engaged, and Kib and Galax engaged. Liam has a bow that is still operational and Laric does not (sorry mate you rolled a one on this one)...I didn't say anything about bad rolls but I think this makes sense and to compensate no warning I will allow you to have an extra bowstring! Nigel is standing back as is Nemmet and Fennick the two of them having gotten a brand lit.
Round two...when you guys are ready!

I'll sacrifice the shield and will thrust at the same wolf that Kib is attacking.
GALAX to NIGEL: "Feel free to throw rocks, daggers, pots, pans or anything else at this creature! It's huge!"

Laric curses and drops his bow, drawing his dagger and hoping to stay clear of the beasts. He will engage if an opening occurs.

Fennick with shield up (assuming his shield was in place due to Nemmet's aid) will wave his brand at the wolf engaged with Erimus in an effort to frighten the wolf so that Erimus can get an open blow.
He yells back to Nemmet, "Master Nemmet, try to get a second brand aflame!"

Liam, knowing better than to fire arrows into a melee, drops his bow and draws his axe and dagger and swings at the nearest wolf, preferably the one he already plunked with arrows.
[OOC] Can I make a standing rule that Liam will attempt to recover spent arrows at the resolution of every battle?
[Additional OOC] Hmmm... did I pick up a dagger initially? If not, then obviously he doesn't draw it. I'll check my inventory...

Nigel will do his best to throw another rock at his best target., throwing wide against the flank to attempt to avoid the others.

Yes you can have a standing rule to check, once the battle has cleared. Not sure about the dagger, didn't think so though.
