Fox is year 12 of the 13 year cycle in Hyperborea. The season starts with a max of 4:20 hours of daylight. And by the time of Bat there is Zero. 

=9.000000ptThe =9.000000ptwinter wolf =9.000000ptis an Evil, semi-intelligent, supernatural beast that inhabits the most frigid of regions. These =9.000000ptwolves have pure white coats, stand five to six feet at the shoulder, and weigh up to 750 pounds. They can release horrible howls that discharge blasts of cold, freezing to the bone their prey, which they will then crush =9.000000ptin their terrible jaws. They are believed to have their own strange language. Winter wolves fear and loathe the =9.000000ptmen of Leng=9.000000pt, and they leap in wild, howling fervour when Ythaqqa walks amongst them or sends his frigid wind. 

It was a 3 1/2 day walk to the church, through dense woods, on forgotten overgrown trails, following Olo's old map.

Plus Emral is down to 5 hp.

Were they both winter wolves?
And having a closer look at them while we drag them, do they look diseased or are the sores... something else?

Before resting for the night, the plan is to search the harp and pulpit. What do we find?  And can we burn either for firewood?

Yes. Creating a fire and eating that beast may be good. I like my meat medium rare.
What do we find on the wall where the harp was ?

We search thoroughly.

What do we find in the chapel?

Off topic:  How did you folks pick your names?  Is there an Iron Ranger character out there?  Mine is just my longtime name, and publishing studio. Plus I like fire itself for my characters.  Games are often slain by real life scheduling, so I've never found a flame tongue sword (sadly).

Also: would it be too late to say Emral uses the pyromancer spell list instead of magician? I'm torn because I want him to learn *all the spells*, but this game divides up spell lists. I have a Skyrim character who ended up basically like Emral, using armor and a sword but also flames spells almost exclusively; but I'd still learn all the lore even if it never got used.  Know what I mean?  Personally, I'm happy either way, just thinking out loud.

I'll let you switch to fire lord, but you must stick with Burning hands.

What are you going to burn? Burning Hands is spent.

 

Emral searches around the pulpit, looks for drawers, levers, pushes it and sees if it pivots or shifts, that’ sort of thing.

The harp stands beside the raised pulpit. Its once golden brilliance now blackened by flame. It is stringless and heavily melted, slouching lazily against the back wall.

I search by the harp. Behind it.

I thought the pulpit was the lectern. Good to know.

“Malak, look at the water with me. I don’t know what’s in it, but if the skeletons feared fire, one might have jumped in to save themselves.”

He waits to go forward with Malak, then looks more closely at the water filled area.

It’s a pool of water? Like a large baptismal font that adults could use for, say, full immersion baptism or other similar rituals?
